Differences in Acaricide Susceptibility Between Parasitic Stages of Rhipicephalus microplus [PDF]
PathogensAcaricide resistance is a major challenge for the control of Rhipicephalus microplus, and differences between laboratory and field efficacy may complicate the assessment of resistance. However, the influence of parasitic developmental stages on acaricide

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.

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.

Cost-Effectiveness of Acaricide Application Methods against Heartwater Disease in South Africa
Agriculture, 2023 In an economic sense, heartwater disease is the most important tick-borne disease faced by South African livestock farmers. Methods to control the disease vary among farmers, and the preferred method depends on the prevalence of the disease in a specific

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

Current Research in Parasitology and Vector-Borne Diseases, 2021 Tick control is mainly achieved through the use of effective ectoparasiticides that can be either dermally or systemically distributed in/on the host. Before any acaricide can be legally made available to veterinarians and pet owners, it must demonstrate
