Canine ehrlichiosis in Northern Australia: A sensitivity and elasticity analysis of R0

Ticks and Tick-Borne Diseases
Canine ehrlichiosis is a potentially fatal tick-borne bacterial disease of domestic dogs caused by Ehrlichia canis and transmitted in Australia by the brown dog tick, Rhipicephalus linnaei (Rhipicephalus sanguineus sensu lato “tropical lineage”).

Incidence of Brown Dog Ticks, Rhipicephalus sanguineus, at a Kennel in Okayama Prefecture.

Journal of Veterinary Medical Science, 1995
Twenty two adult dogs suffered from tick infestation at a kennel in Okayama Prefecture in the summer of 1994. Four of them had been introduced from U.S.A. Some dogs showed pyoderma, anemia, neutrophilia or eosinophilia. Neither Babesia gibsoni nor Hepatozoon canis was detected on the smear samples of peripheral blood.

Purification and Properties of Polyvinyl Nitrate and Its Compatibility With Solid Oxidizers

Propellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Polyvinyl nitrate (PVN) is a nitrate‐ester energetic binder that can be produced directly from polyvinyl alcohol—a cheap commodity feedstock—thereby offering potential cost and supply‐chain advantages over binders based on nitrocellulose and other specialty polymers.

Why are there so few Rickettsia conorii conorii-infected Rhipicephalus sanguineus ticks in the wild?

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2012
BackgroundRickettsia conorii conorii is the etiological agent of Mediterranean spotted fever, which is transmitted by the brown dog tick, Rhipicephalus sanguineus.

Bacterial Microbiota of the Brown Dog Tick (Rhipicephalus sanguineus), a Broad Starting Point to Establish Potential Pathogens in Northern Mexico

Microbiology Research
Ticks are important vectors of pathogenic bacteria that cause diseases in both humans and animals. Analysis of tick microbiota via massive sequencing allows rapid and comprehensive identification of almost all bacteria inhabiting ticks. This has improved

Identification of broadly expressed nervous system‐related genes as effective RNAi targets in the brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Broadly expressed genes outperformed brain‐enriched neural targets as RNAi candidates in Halyomorpha halys. Microinjection of dsRNA targeting alpha‐soluble NSF attachment protein (Asnap) or Ras opposite protein (Rop) caused strong feeding suppression and near‐complete mortality, identifying them as promising targets for future oral or spray‐based RNAi ...

Coxiella-Like Endosymbiont of Rhipicephalus sanguineus Is Required for Physiological Processes During Ontogeny

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Obligatory hematophagous arthropods such as lice, bugs, flies, and ticks harbor bacterial endosymbionts that are expected to complement missing essential nutrients in their diet. Genomic and some experimental evidence support this expectation. Hard ticks

Larvicidal and repellent effects of essential oils on the brown dog tick (Rhipicephalus sanguineus Sensu lato) with description of new larval repellent activity test method

Experimental & applied acarology
The aim of this research was to investigate the larvicidal and repellent effects of essential oils (EOs) obtained from two Lamiaceae plant species, Origanum minutiflorum O. Schwarz & P.H. Davis and Dorystoechas hastata Boiss. & Heldr.

PCR‐based species identification tools for wireworms (Coleoptera: Elateridae) of economic importance in Canada

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Species‐specific PCR primers and PCR‐based assays were designed for the identification of 15 economically important and difficult to distinguish wireworm pests in Canada. PCR specificity testing and performance assessments confirm the accuracy of the assays.

SUSCEPTIBILITY OF RHIPICEPHALUS SANGUINEUS SENSULATO (S.L.) LATREILLE (ACARI: IXODIDAE) TO CYPERMETHRIN, IVERMECTIN, AND AMITRAZ [PDF]

Exploratory Animal and Medical Research
Chemical acaricides, viz. amitraz, cypermethrin, and ivermectin have been in use for control of ectoparasites (particularly ticks) in domestic animals over the past two decades.
