Boophilus microplus: Characterization of larval proteases
Experimental Parasitology, 1978Abstract Studies were made on proteolytic activity for homogenates of larval Boophilus microplus ticks. Maximal activity was recorded at pH 3–3.5 in the 27,000g supernatant fraction. Hydrolysis of bovine serum albumin was inhibited by excess substrate; the optimum concentration was 0.8 mg%.

Toxicity of piperonyl butoxide to Boophilus microplus
Nature, 1974SYNERGISM studies with the cattle tick Boophilus microplus have been effected by enclosing larvae in packets impregnated with olive oil solutions of the test chemicals and recording mortality after 48 h1,2. In these conditions larvae exposed continuously to 0.4% piperonyl butoxide were apparently unaffected.

Assortative Mating between Boophilus Decoloratus and Boophilus Microplus (Acari: Ixodidae)
Journal of Medical Entomology, 1986Observation of mixed infestations of Boophilus decoloratus and B. microplus on cattle shows that assortative mating occurs. The result is a smaller number of hybrid matings than is expected from random mating. The finding has relevance to studies of species interactions and to attempts at genetic control.

Boophilus microplus: Passive Transfer of Resistance in Cattle
The Journal of Parasitology, 1976Plasma from cattle highly resistant to the tick Boophilus microplus conferred some resistance to unexposed calves. In contrast plasma from hosts of low resistance had no significant effect compared with plasma from unexposed donors.

Boophilus microplus: Cattle antienzymes to larval phosphomonoesterases
Experimental Parasitology, 1980Abstract Cattle with previous experience in infection with the cattle tick, Boophilus microplus, were shown to have significant levels of antienzymes directed against phosphomonoesterases of Boophilus microplus larvae. Cattle without previous experience in infection do not show any antienzymatic activity.

Functional bovine immunoglobulins in Boophilus microplus hemolymph
Veterinary Parasitology, 1996The aim of the present work was to quantify the passage of bovine immunoglobulins into the hemolymph of the tick Boophilus microplus during the feeding process and to determine their antibody activity. The knowledge is of paramount importance when vector control or blocking of disease transmission is attempted by vaccination of cattle. Approximately 2%
