In Vitro Evaluation of Essential Oils Derived from Piper nigrum (Piperaceae) and Citrus limonum (Rutaceae) against the Tick Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus (Acari: Ixodidae)

Biochemistry Research International, Volume 2017, Issue 1, 2017., 2017
The present research aimed to study the chemical composition and acaricidal activity of Citrus limonum and Piper nigrum essential oils against the cattle tick Rhipicephalus microplus. GC‐MS analysis of C. limonum essential oil showed limonene (50.3%), β‐pinene (14.4%), and γ‐terpinene (11.7%) as the major components; P.

Control of Bovicola equi infestation in a herd of horses using an environmentally sustainable treatment protocol

Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract In March 2024, a Slovenian warmblood gelding presented with severe pruritus and skin lesions throughout its head, neck and around the base of the tail. The owners had observed increased pruritus in multiple animals within the herd. After careful examination, Bovicola equi were found in all five horses, but not the pony.

Recent Advances in Developing Insect Natural Products as Potential Modern Day Medicines

Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
Except for honey as food, and silk for clothing and pollination of plants, people give little thought to the benefits of insects in their lives. This overview briefly describes significant recent advances in developing insect natural products as potential new medicinal drugs.

Detection of African Swine Fever Virus (ASFV) in Haematopinus suis: Evidence for a Potential New Sylvatic Cycle of ASFV Involving Lice and Domestic Pigs

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
African swine fever (ASF) is a lethal and highly contagious viral disease of domestic and wild pigs, listed as a notifiable disease to the World Organization for Animal Health (WOAH). In the absence of any credible commercially available vaccine, the economic losses to the global pig industry inflicted by ASF is insurmountable.

Ophthalmic Parasitosis: A Review Article

Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Infectious Diseases, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
Ocular parasitosis in human is more prevalent in geographical areas where environmental factors and poor sanitary conditions favor the parasitism between man and animals. Lesions in the eye can be due to damage directly caused by the infectious pathogen, indirect pathology caused by toxic products, or the immune response incited by infections or ...

Role of the Setae in an Ectoparasitic Seal Louse in Reducing Surface Drag: Numerical Modeling Approach

Advanced Theory and Simulations, Volume 8, Issue 10, October 2025.
The seal louse Echinophthirius horridus has uniquely shaped setae that may reduce drag during its host's dives. Using numerical simulations, this study demonstrates that their natural inclination promotes vortex formation, minimizing friction and energy loss. These findings provide insights into biological surface adaptations and may inspire the design
