Histological Images and Analysis of Tick Organ Alterations from Essential Oil Exposure

Supplementary materials from a 2025 manuscript submitted to Micron by Pereira et al. support a study on morphological alterations in the Gené’s organ and ovary of engorged Rhipicephalus linnaei tick females. The dataset includes chemical characterization of two essential oils, representative histological images, and semi-quantitative assessments of tissue damage. It contains tables with GC-MS results and statistical comparisons for three exposure concentrations.

Use Cases

• Analyzing the chemical composition of Egletes viscosa and Lippia schaueriana essential oils based on GC-MS data.
• Comparing histological damage in tick reproductive organs based on representative images from control and treated groups.
• Evaluating dose-response relationships in tick morphology based on semi-quantitative analysis tables for three concentration levels.
• Validating statistical models of acaricide efficacy based on importance factor weighting (ω) and comparison data.

Strengths

• Includes chemical characterization data from gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS).
• Provides semi-quantitative analysis with statistical comparisons for three specific concentrations (12.5, 25, and 50 mg/mL).
• Contains representative histological images for both a control group and treatment groups.

Limitations

• Row count and file size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
