Formulações farmacêuticas com base em Bixa orellana L. e Triticum aestivum L.: alternativas inovadoras no controle de dípteros califorídeos de animais domésticos

Abstract

Some members of the Calliphoridae Family are the cause of cutaneous myiasis, a problem of high intensity for domestic animals. Finding tools and alternatives to control them is of great importance. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of the pharmaceutical formulations based on oily extract of Bixa orellana L., aqueous and ethanolic extract of Triticum aestivum, on flies of veterinary clinical importance. The use of Bote orellana L. (Bixa orellana L.) and aqueous extracts (Bote orellana L.) was evaluated by means of wind-driven traps (WOT) with positive control (dichlorvos + chlorvenvinphos), negative control (bait only) of Triticum aestivum (GRUPO 1) and oily extract of B. orellana L. and the ethanolic extract of Triticum aestivum (GRUPO 2). Regarding efficacy, no significant difference was demonstrated between the positive control and the two formulations tested, Group 1 and Group 2, and all treatments differed from the negative control (p = 0.000). The collected flies were mainly from the family of the califorids (98%) and smaller ones from the family Muscidae (1,5%) and Fanidae (0,5%). Thus, it is concluded that the formulations containing oily extract of Bixa orellana L. and aqueous extract of Triticum aestivum and the oil extract of B. orellana L. and the ethanolic extract of Triticum aestivum, have high repellency capacity against flies Calliphoridae family, being an alternative to allopathic treatment and to conventional treatments.
