Systematics and ecology of the brown dog tick, Rhipicephalus sanguineus

Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2013
Rhipicephalus sanguineus, the brown dog tick, kennel tick, or pan-tropical dog tick, is probably the most widespread ixodid tick, colonising both human and canine dwellings. It is of great significance in both human and veterinary medicine as a vector of several important pathogens and can also cause clinical illness in heavy infestations of dogs ...

Geographic Distribution and Seasonality of Brown Dog Tick Lineages in the United States

Journal of Medical Entomology, 2022
Abstract Two lineages of brown dog ticks (Rhipicephalus sanguineus sensu lato (s.l.), Latreille [Acari: Ixodidae]) have been described in North America: temperate and tropical. To characterize the distribution of these lineages across this region and evaluate seasonal activity, a 12S rRNA mitochondrial gene fragment was sequenced from R.

Susceptibility of the Brown Dog Tick to Eight Acaricides, 1991 [PDF]

Arthropod Management Tests, 1994
Abstract Formulated acaricides were evaluated for toxicity to engorged larvae and nymphs of the brown dog tick with the “tea-bag” method (envelopes made in rice paper). Engorged larvae were obtained from guinea pigs infested with 3 week old larvae from a laboratory colony.
