Abstract

The purpose of this research is to be aware of taro extract as a potential anti-scabies. Efforts have been made towards the swarming number of scabies caused by the mites Sarcoptes scabiei, which attacks the skins of cattle. Treatments relied more on synthetic chemical drugs that are more effective but are expensive in cost. Taro plants (Colocasia esculenta (L.) Schott) are mainly found in farmlands. Talas Bogor is a potential larvacide, able to kill mosquito larvae, predicted to have anti-parasite properties against mites. This research includes phytochemical tests (flavonoid, tannin, saponin, alkaloid, calcium oxalate) of the identified plant, effectiveness test of the taro extract towards the mites through in vitro. The results of the effectiveness test of the wild taro extract (Colocasia esculenta (L).Schott) cultivar Hideung used in in-vitro with probit analysis obtained an LC50 value of 50.11% for 4 hours treatment time, an LC50 value of 24.54% for 6 hours’ time, able to exterminate 100% of the mites tested, using Neguvon as a positive control, and 10.96% LC50 value for 3 hours treatment time. Treatment of wild taro extracts (Colocasia esculenta (L) .Schott Cultivar Hideung with 96% ethanol solvent is a potential alternative for scabies treatment.
