Susceptibility of Rhipicephalus rutilus ticks from dogs to different acaricides

Ticks and Tick-Borne Diseases
Brown dog ticks (Rhipicephalus sanguineus sensu lato) are widespread ectoparasites of dogs and may also infest other vertebrate hosts, including humans. The control of these ticks is primarily carried out using acaricides.

Robust CDF‐Filtering of a Location Parameter

Journal of Time Series Analysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper introduces a novel framework for designing robust filters associated with signal plus noise models having symmetric observation density. The filters are obtained by a recursion where the innovation term is a transform of the cumulative distribution function of the residuals.

Playing for Keeps: Long‐Term Recall With an Application Using Virtual Reality and the Method of Loci

Scandinavian Journal of Psychology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Strategies that provide spatial context to study material have been successfully utilized combined with virtual 3D technology to improve memory and learning. However, research suggests that memory enhancement effects relying on visualization may be of a short‐term nature.

A rapid tick exposure test for monitoring acaricide resistance in Rhipicephalus sanguineus sensu lato ticks on dogs

Parasites & Vectors
Background Brown dog ticks (Rhipicephalus sanguineus sensu lato) are vectors of pathogens adversely affecting the health of dogs in many regions of the world. The three-host life cycle of R.
