Abstract

As one of the most important medical vectors, ticks can attack a broad range of vertebrates and transmit a great diversity of pathogens. With the global warming and environmental alternation, the distribution areas of ticks are increasing rapidly. Subsequently, emerging and reemerging ticks-borne diseases pose considerable threats on public health. Chemical insecticides often show high efficacy, however, the long-term and large amount use not only leads to resistance development of vectors, drug residues are also potential hazards to people and livestock. Plant-derived repellents are characterized by low toxicity or non-toxic, and all these natural plant compositions are degradable. In all, plant-derived repellents are environmental friendly, which will play important role in the control of ticks and tick-borne diseases in future. In order to provide basic information for the further development of plant-derived repellents, it reviewed related researches that performed on ticks.
