Boophilus microplus: Antihistaminic and tranquillizing drugs and cattle resistance

Experimental Parasitology, 1969
Abstract A significant increase occurred in the yield of engorged Boophilus microplus (Acarina, Ixodidae) from eight out of twelve continuously infested bovine hosts treated with the antihistaminic promethazine hydrochloride (Phenergan). Using other drugs an increase occurred with only one host out of six.

Carboxylesterases from Boophilus microplus hydrolyze trans-permethrin

Pesticide Biochemistry and Physiology, 1983
Abstract An esterase which hydrolyzes the ester bond of trans -permethrin has been partially purified from homogenates of larvae of the cattle tick. The final (gel filtration) step showed two distinct peaks of p -nitrophenylbutyrate-hydrolyzing activity.

Boophilus microplus tick burdens on grazing cattle in Colombia

Tropical Animal Health and Production, 1984
This study was conducted at Carimagua Research Centre in a well-drained savanna area in the eastern plains of Colombia. The objectives were to note the effect of ecological factors on tick burdens, principally the effect of the environment given by four grasses on the seasonal variations of tick populations. Adult female tick counts were carried out on

TRYPSIN‐CHYMOTRYPSIN INHIBITORS FROM THE TICK, BOOPHILUS MICROPLUS

Australian Journal of Experimental Biology and Medical Science, 1983
SummaryThe eggs of the cattle tick, Boophilus microplus, contain at least two proteolytic enzyme inhibitors which have been purified and partially characterized. One of these is closely related to an inhibitor from larval ticks previously purified. It is similar in general properties, in amino acid composition and it cross‐reacts immunologically with ...

Cell death during preoviposition period in Boophilus microplus tick

Veterinary Parasitology, 2007
Programmed cell death (PCD) is present during the development of multicellular organisms and occurs from embryogenesis to death. In females of Boophilus microplus, the mass of several organs is reduced after the detachment from the host. In order to better characterize the cell death process that eliminates unnecessary tissues, the degeneration of ...

Failure of Boophilus microplus to transmit irradiated Babesia bovis

Research in Veterinary Science, 1983
Babesia bovis parasites which had either been freshly irradiated or had been reisolated from cattle infected 12 months previously with irradiated organisms were not transmitted transovarially by cattle ticks (Boophilus microplus). The parent unirradiated strain of B bovis was readily transmitted in this manner after being in host cattle for 12 months.

Boophilus microplus: Characterization of Enzymes Introduced Into the Host

Australian Journal of Biological Sciences, 1976
A number of enzymes, presumably secreted by larvae of B. micro plus under natural feeding conditions, have been investigated in the skin of previously unexposed calves 4 h after infestation at the attachment site. Carboxylic ester hydrolase activity was demonstrated in the dermis, immediately adjacent to the mouthparts, or in the attachment cone ...

Distribution of catecholamines in the cattle tick Boophilus microplus

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part C: Comparative Pharmacology, 1977
Abstract 1. The distribution of monoaminergic neurones in the synganglion and peripheral nervous system of the cattle tick Boophilus microplus was studied by the Falck-Hillarp histofluorescence method. 2. Fluorescent cortical cell bodies were associated with the pedal and opisthosomal ganglia and with the stomodeal pons and varicosities in the ...

Artificial Feeding in Boophilus microplus (Acari:Ixodidae) through Micropipettes

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2000
Abstract: Newly molted Boophilus microplus females obtained in a laboratory at 30°C and environmental relative humidity (RH) were employed. An original device was used to hold ticks during feeding. Three groups of 15 ticks each were created: unfed, fed with heparinized blood, and fed with defibrinated blood. Ticks were weighed before and after feeding.
