The present invention relates to a Mesostigmata mite control method and a Mesostigmata mite control agent.
Mesostigmata mites include red mite (Dermanyssus gallinae), northern fowl mite (Ornithonyssus sylviarum), tropical rat mite (Ornithonyssus bacoti), Varroa mite (Varroa destructor), canine nasal mite (Pneumonyssoides caninum), and the like. These Mesostigmata mites cause important problems with veterinary hygiene, because they parasitize or suck blood from insects and homoiotherms such as birds and mammals. Conventionally, many control agents have been developed against such mites which parasitize or suck blood from insects or homoiotherms. However, the recent notable decrease in drug sensitivity and the like create a demand for a novel agent that is highly effective and safe.
Patent Literature 1 (Japanese Patent No. 2633377), Patent Literature 2 (Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. Hei 3-128355), and Patent Literature 3 (International Publication No. WO2006/013896) disclose quinoline derivatives as pesticides, acaricides, or the like for agricultural and horticultural use. However, Patent Literatures 1 to 3 are totally silent about control of Mesostigmata mites that parasitize homoiotherms and the like.
Patent Literature 4 (Japanese Patent No. 4242156) and Patent Literature 5 (International Publication No. WO2004/032629) describe mixed agents containing a halogen-substituted quinoline derivative that shows a controlling effect on red mites and northern fowl mites. However, Patent Literature 4 does not disclose that 2,3-dimethyl-4-quinolinol derivatives represented by the following general formula (1) show an effect on Mesostigmata mites including red mites and northern fowl mites.
International Publication No. WO01/92231 and Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2012-087090 disclose usefulness of 2,3-Dimethyl-4-quinolinol derivatives represented by:
[in the formula, R1 represents a hydrogen atom, —COR4, —COOR4 (where R4 represents an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms) , 13 CH2OCH3, or —COCH2OCH3; and R2 and R3 may be the same or different, and represent a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, or an alkoxy group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms] against rice blast and tea gray blight; however, these documents are totally silent about control of Mesostigmata mites.

Compound A of the present invention (5%), hexylene glycol (50%), and isopropanol (45%) were uniformly mixed to obtain a liquid for transdermal administration.
Compound A of the present invention (2%), dimethyl sulfoxide (10%), 2-propanol (35%), and acetone (53%) were uniformly mixed to obtain a liquid for spraying.
Compound A of the present invention (2%) and liquid paraffin (98%) were uniformly mixed to obtain a liquid for (pouring-on) transdermal administration.
Compound A of the present invention (0.1 g) was mixed with NEO-CHIOZOL F (Chuo Kasei Co., Ltd.; kerosene (normal paraffin) (120 ml) and ethane gas (180 ml) to obtain an aerosol formulation.
The tip of a Pasteur pipette was sealed with Parafilm, and an acetone solution (liquid agent) of each of the samples shown in Table 2 below diluted to a predetermined concentration was poured into the pipette through an upper portion thereof. One minute later, the Parafilm at the tip was detached, and the liquid agent was discharged. After the pipette was air dried, absorbent cotton was inserted to an upper end of the pipette, and 20 unfed adult red mites (Dermanyssus gallinae) were released into the pipette. After the tip was sealed with Hemato-Seal, the pipette was stored in the dark in an incubator at a temperature of 27 to 28° C. and a humidity of 50 to 60%. After 24, 48, and 72 hours had passed since the treatment, the mites were observed under a stereomicroscope to determine whether the mites were dead or alive and whether the mites were affected. Then, the ratio (%) of dead and affected mites was calculated according to the following formula. Spinosad, trichlorfon, and permethrin were used as control drugs.
The ratio (%) of dead and affected mites={(the number of dead mites+the number of affected mites)/(the number of survived mites+the number of affected mites+the number of dead mites)}×100
The results are shown below.
Approximately 50 unfed adult red mites (Dermanyssus gallinae) were placed in a tall beaker (8 cm in diameter×15 cm in height), and a 18 mesh nylon net lid was placed on the beaker. A liquid agent (2.5 mL) obtained by diluting the flowable of Formulation Example 3 of the present invention with distilled water to a predetermined concentration was sprayed with a spray gun located at a height of 15 cm. After the spraying, the beaker was incubated at a temperature of 27 to 28° C. and a humidity of 50 to 60%. After 24 hours had passed since the treatment, the mites were observed under a stereomicroscope to determine whether the mites were dead or alive. Then, the ratio (%) of dead mites was calculated according to the following formula. In addition, a 50% propoxur formulation and distilled water were used as a control agent and a negative control, respectively.
The ratio (%) of dead mites={the number of dead mites/(the number of survived mites+the number of dead mites)}×100
The results are shown below.
The tip of a Pasteur pipette was sealed with Parafilm, and an acetone solution (liquid agent) of each of the samples shown in Table 4 below diluted to a predetermined concentration was poured into the pipette through an upper portion thereof. One minute later, the Parafilm at the tip was detached, and the liquid agent was discharged. After the pipette was air dried, absorbent cotton was inserted to an upper end of the pipette, and 10 fed adult northern fowl mites (Ornithonyssus sylviarum) were released into the pipette. After the tip was sealed with Hemato-Seal, the pipette was stored in the dark in an incubator at 25° C. and at a humidity of 80%. After 2 and 24 hours had passed since the treatment, the mites were observed under a stereomicroscope to determine whether the mites were dead or alive and whether the mites were affected. Then, the ratio (%) of dead and affected mites was calculated.
The ratio (%) of dead and affected mites={(the number of dead mites+the number of affected mites)/(the number of survived mites+the number of affected mites+the number of dead mites)}×100
The results are shown below.
The tip of a Pasteur pipette was sealed with Parafilm, and an acetone solution (liquid agent) of each of the samples shown in Table 5 below diluted to a predetermined concentration was poured into the pipette through an upper portion thereof. One minute later, the Parafilm at the tip was detached, and the liquid agent was discharged. After the pipette was air dried, absorbent cotton was inserted to an upper end of the pipette, and 20 unfed adult red mites (Dermanyssus gallinae) were released into the pipette. After the tip was sealed with Hemato-Seal, the pipette was stored in the dark in an incubator at a temperature of 25 to 28° C. and a humidity of 40 to 60%. After 24 hours had passed since the treatment, the mites were observed to determine whether the mites were dead or alive and whether the mites were affected. Then, the ratio (%) of dead and affected mites was calculated according to the following formula. Acequinocyl and fluacrypyrim were used as control drugs.
The ratio (%) of dead and affected mites={(the number of dead mites+the number of affected mites)/(the number of survived mites+the number of affected mites+the number of dead mites)}×100
The results are shown below.
As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a Mesostigmata mite control agent which controls Mesostigmata mites.
