Authors’ contributions

G.F. conceptualised the study. M.C.K. was involved in the collection of some of the plant material and in the preparation of the extracts used in the biological screening assays. G.F., K.W.W. and T.L. carried out the literature search and plant selection. T.L. prepared the plant extracts. J.N.E. conceptualised the study in a joint application and supervised the students and postdoctoral fellows. V.N. supervised determination of acaricidal activity. J.P.D. supervised the determination of cytotoxicity. B.M.S. determined vero cell toxicity. M.C.K. was also involved in the fractionation and isolation process in the natural product chemistry laboratory. O.T.A. determined the acaricidal activity against adult ticks of R. turanicus. K.W.W. wrote the first draft of the manuscript.
