Detection of Hepatozoon canis in the Brown Dog Tick and Domestic Dogs in Peninsular Malaysia

Journal of Medical Entomology, 2018
Hepatozoon canis has been widely reported in dogs. Its prevalence in ticks, however, has not been well-established. Here we determine the occurrence of Hepatozoon DNA in the brown dog tick Rhipicephalus sanguineus (Latreille) (Acari: Ixodidae) sensu lato (s.l.) and domestic dogs from Peninsular Malaysia using a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay ...

Abstract Medical Officers (MOs) and Medical Branch Ratings (MBRs) must maintain an awareness of the risk of vector-borne diseases among deployed personnel. Personnel working in the maritime environment may not expect to be at risk of tick bites, as ticks typically occupy habitats with dense vegetation such as forests or ...

Additional Instances of Human Parasitism by the Brown Dog Tick (Acari: Ixodidae)

Journal of Medical Entomology, 1990
Nine cases of humans parasitized by the brown dog tick, Rhipicephalus sanguineus (Latreille), are reported. Eight cases occurred during 1989. Seven of the individuals were from an apparent focus of human biting in northern Texas and southwestern Oklahoma, one case was from San Antonio, Bexar County, Tex., and one case was from Homestead Air Force Base,

Evaluation of the Efficacy of Fospirate-Treated Collars Against the Brown Dog Tick

American Journal of Veterinary Research, 1976
SUMMARY Experimental tick infestations on dogs were done to determine the initial kill and residual effectiveness of a 15% fospirate-treated plastic collar against the brown dog tick, Rhipicephalus sanguineus (Latreille). The mean initial kill, determined 4 days after collar application (day 4), was 56.4%.

Transcriptome analysis of the synganglion from the brown dog tick, Rhipicephalus sanguineus

Insect Molecular Biology, 2010
Abstract Tick control strategies rely heavily on chemicals (acaricides), most of which target the central nervous system. With increasing resistance, new acaricides are urgently needed but knowledge of tick neurobiology is surprisingly limited, notably the number of neural‐specific gene sequences. One thousand and

Seasonal dynamics of the brown dog tick, Rhipicephalus sanguineus , on a confined dog population in Italy

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, 2010
This study evaluated the seasonal dynamics of Rhipicephalus sanguineus (Latreille) (Acari: Ixodidae) on naturally infested dogs in a private shelter in southern Italy. From March to May 2008, 39 autochthonous mixed‐breed young dogs and 10 beagles were enrolled in the study.

Effect of ivermectin on the brown dog tick, Rhipicephalus sanguineus.

Journal of the Egyptian Society of Parasitology, 2000
Ivermectin (Ivomec) proved to be effective in controlling R. sanguineus. All brown dog ticks infesting the treated dogs (subcutaneous injections) with 1.5 ml or 2 ml/50 kg dropped off within 4 or 3 days respectively. The dropped off ticks were completely inactive and died within one day or two.
