Persistence Enhancement of a Promising Tick Repellent, Benzyl Isothiocyanate, by Yeast Microcarriers

Phenethyl isothiocyanate isolated from <i>Armoracia rusticana</i> root oil and its derivatives were tested at different doses in a bioassay designed to evaluate repellency against individual <i>Haemaphysalis longicornis</i> nymphs. Among the tested compounds, benzyl isothiocy...
