Effect of essential oils against acaricide‐susceptible and acaricide-resistant Rhipicephalus ticks [PDF]

Experimental and Applied Acarology, 2021
AbstractThe indiscriminate use of acaricides is a problem worldwide and has increased the selection of acaricide-resistant tick populations. The goal of this study was to evaluate the acaricide effects of two essential oils (from Schinus molle and Bulnesia sarmientoi) using the larval immersion test on three Rhipicephalus tick species.

Acaricides Resistance in Ticks: Selection, Diagnosis, Mechanisms, and Mitigation

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022
Ticks are blood-feeding ecto-parasites that have a cosmopolitan distribution in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Ticks cause economic losses in the form of reduced blood, meat and dairy products, as well as pathogen transmission.

Acaricide resistance in livestock ticks infesting cattle in Africa: Current status and potential mitigation strategies

Current Research in Parasitology and Vector-Borne Diseases, 2022
In many African countries, tick control has recently been the responsibility of resource-poor farmers rather than central government veterinary departments. This has led to an increase in acaricide resistance, threatening the welfare of livestock farmers
