| Abstract: | The in vitro toxicity of seed oil of Khaya senegalensis (family: Meliaceae) was tested against the larvae of a one host tick, Boophilus decoloratus (family: Ixodidae or hard tick) known as ‘blue tick’ parasitic mainly to cattle commonly found in savannas of tropical equatorial Africa. The 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100 % concentrations of seed oil were found to kill all (100 % mortality) the larvae after 28, 28, 24, 20 and 20 h respectively. |
