STRUCTURAL CHARACTERIZATION OF ACTIVE CONSTITUENTS IN PLANT EXTRACTS WITH POTENTIAL FOR THE CONTROL OF OVINE LICE AND PARASITIC WORMS.

具有防治羊虱和寄生蠕虫潜力的植物提取物中活性成分的结构表征。虱子和寄生虫的控制是澳大利亚养羊业目前面临的两个主要问题。在传统医学中使用的几种植物提取物在控制这些人类害虫方面显示出显著的功效。本项目将研究一些植物的杀羊虱和驱虫活性，并鉴定和化学表征活性成分。这项研究将导致产生更环保的害虫控制方法，并克服目前该行业面临的杀虫剂抗性问题。

STRUCTURAL CHARACTERIZATION OF ACTIVE CONSTITUENTS IN PLANT EXTRACTS WITH POTENTIAL FOR THE CONTROL OF OVINE LICE AND PARASITIC WORMS. The control of lice and parasitic worms are two of the major problems currently confronting the Australian sheep industry. Several plant extracts utilized in traditional medicine have shown a remarkable efficacy in the control of these pests in humans. This project will investigate the sheep lousicidal and anthelmintic activity of a number of plants, and identify and chemically characterize the active constituents. This research will lead to the production of more environmentally friendly pest control methods and overcome problems of insecticidal resistance currently facing the industry.
