Acaricidal activity of small molecule antagonists of the tick kinin receptor against Rhipicephalus microplus acaricide-susceptible and resistant strains. [PDF]
Pest Manag SciTwo small molecules, SACC‐0039590 and SACC‐0428788, killed cattle fever tick, R. microplus, susceptible Deutch strain and pyrethroid resistant Arauquita strain larvae. SACC‐0039590 at 1 mM decreased the reproductive parameters of Deutch females. Abstract BACKGROUND Resistance to acaricides underscores the need for tick control alternatives.
