Summary: The Varroa destructor parasite poses a major threat to honey bee colonies. While eco-friendly plant essential oils (EOs) have gained interest as potential solutions, there is inconsistency in research results due to different study techniques and variability in plant chemical compositions. This review aims to summarize the research on using EOs to control the parasite, standardize results, and suggest future research directions.

Summary: Plant-based products such as essential oils and extracts have been widely used and produced in large quantities, potentially reaching the environment. Recent research has focused on the toxic effects of these products on non-target organisms, particularly in aquatic environments. While some products showed no toxicity or only at high concentrations, others were found to be toxic at very low levels, emphasizing the need for further standardized research in this area.

Summary: The insecticidal activity of Piper nigrum fruit essential oil (EO) against stable fly was evaluated through contact and fumigant toxicity tests. Chemical analysis revealed the major components of the EO. Results showed that fly mortality increased with EO concentration and time during the first 24 hours of exposure. The EO could be a potential natural insecticidal agent for controlling stable fly and further studies are needed to examine its efficacy through field trials and investigation of nano-formulations.

Summary: Chemical acaricides are commonly used in traditional tick control, but their use has led to the development of tick resistance and environmental pollution. This study evaluated the potential application of essential oils from Thymus mongolicus, Cinnamomum verum, and Origanum vulgare for controlling the vector tick Haemaphysalis longicornis. The results showed that the essential oils of these plants exhibited significant acaricidal activity against both larval and adult H. longicornis, suggesting that plant essential oils could be a more environmentally friendly alternative to synthetic acaricides in the future.

Summary: The study synthesized benzyloxyalkanols and investigated their nematicidal activity, finding that these compounds showed higher nematicidal activity than benzyl alcohol. Among them, BzC8OH and BzC9OH exhibited the strongest nematicidal activity, with LD50 values of 246.1 and 158.0 ppm, respectively, and no enzyme inhibitory activity. This suggests that benzyloxyalcohols could be a potential alternative nematicidal agent.

Summary: Through gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis of abdominal tip extracts from male and female Rusicada privata, the major sex pheromone was identified as 7-methylheptadecane (7Me-17Hy). Electroantennographic activity and field trapping experiments confirmed the effectiveness of synthetic lures containing 7Me-17Hy in attracting male R. privata. These findings will contribute to the development of sex pheromone-based control techniques for R. privata.
