Perspectives on using integrated tick management to control Rhipicephalus microplus in a tropical region of Mexico

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
The Rhipicephalus microplus tick is widely recognized as the most economically significant ectoparasite affecting cattle globally, particularly in the Neotropical region. In Mexico, at least 65% of the cattle are infested with R.

Grass species and climatic season impact on Rhipicephalus microplus temporal abundance in a tropical region

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
The interaction between grass species and climatic season shapes the population dynamics of the cattle tick, Rhipicephalus microplus. This information highlights the potential of forage species to influence off‐host tick dynamics. Additionally, minimum temperature and minimum relative humidity were the most influential microclimatic predictors of ...

The level of infestation with the vector of cattle babesiosis in Argentina

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1992
Studies were carried out to determine the differential aptitude to sustain the only vector of cattle babesiosis in Argentina, the tick Boophilus microplus, throughout the infested region of this country.

Rotational Grazing Modifies Rhipicephalus microplus Infestation in Cattle in the Humid Tropics

, 2023
Rotational grazing has been mentioned as a potential tool to reduce losses caused by high tick loads. This study aimed: (1) to evaluate the effect of three grazing modalities (rotational grazing with 30- and 45-day pasture rest and continuous grazing) on

DEET‐cyclodextrin inclusion complexes for mosquito and tick repellency: Extended repellency time and no zebrafish embryotoxicity

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Hydroxypropyl‐β‐cyclodextrin (HPβCD)–N,N‐diethyl‐meta‐toluamide (DEET) complex extended tick repellency to 168 h. Full protection against Aedes aegypti for 7 h with HPβCD‐DEET. HPβCD reduced DEET release and skin retention significantly. No embryotoxicity observed below 325 mg L−1 in zebrafish model.

Monitoring feral pigs (Sus scrofa): Complementarity between autonomous sensing methods increases detection probability

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Invasive alien species are a major threat for biodiversity worldwide and effective monitoring is paramount to inform management. In this study we used a multi‐season occupancy model to assess probability of detection between camera traps and passive acoustic recorders for feral pigs (Sus scrofa) during 1 year of data collection.

Camels as a Climate‐Resilient Linchpin for Sustainable Development in Global Drylands

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Camels represent a significant, yet underutilized, asset for advancing integrated sustainable development in the world's expanding drylands. Previous reviews have examined camels' physiology, milk composition, or pastoral systems in isolation; this review examines their potential as a climate‐resilient linchpin for food systems by synthesizing
