A rodent and tick bait for controlling white-footed mice (Peromyscus leucopus) and blacklegged ticks (Ixodes scapularis), the respective pathogen host and vector of the Lyme disease spirochetes. [PDF]
Ticks and Tick-Borne DiseasesA promising alternative approach to conventional vector and rodent control practices is the use of a bait containing a rodenticide and acaricide in controlling vectors and pathogen reservoirs concurrently.

Modeling platform to assess the effectiveness of single and integrated Ixodes scapularis tick control methods [PDF]
Parasites & VectorsBackground Lyme disease continues to expand in Canada and the USA and no single intervention is likely to curb the epidemic. Methods We propose a platform to quantitatively assess the effectiveness of a subset of Ixodes scapularis tick management ...

Ecological and Epidemiological Consequences of Tick-Control Interventions in Residential Neighborhoods: A Synthesis of The Tick Project. [PDF]
Transbound Emerg DisControlling populations of Ixodes ticks has emerged as a core strategy for reducing human exposure to tick‐borne infections. Several means of reducing the size of the tick population using chemical and biological acaricides show promise in field trials and are frequently used commercially in North America and Europe.

Understanding Stress Response in Superorganisms: A Multi-Level and Cybernetic Approach. [PDF]
Ecol EvolAll multicellular organisms have a nested stress response system, and understanding how stress effects propagate across biological levels is key to predicting their impact on the organism or superorganism. Superorganisms, like honeybee and ant colonies, represent good models to study stress response systems across different levels of biological ...

Fipronil-infused sodium polyacrylate gels provide effective management of Argentine ants in conservation areas. [PDF]
Pest Manag SciThe current study evaluated the potential of sodium polyacrylate (ACR) hydrogels to effectively deliver liquid baits to Argentine ants. Laboratory and field trials demonstrated that: (i) fipronil is highly effective for Argentine ant control in natural areas when used in low concentrations (0.005%); (ii) ACR hydrogels are an effective tool for ...

Leishmaniasis in Morocco: Epidemiology, Transmission Dynamics, and the Potential of Artificial Intelligence for Disease Management. [PDF]
J Parasitol ResLeishmaniases are neglected tropical diseases caused by Leishmania parasites and transmitted by infected phlebotomine sand flies, and they remain a major public health challenge in Morocco. The burden is dominated by cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) and visceral leishmaniasis (VL), mainly associated with Leishmania major, Leishmania tropica, and L ...

Pest Management Science, Volume 79, Issue 11, Page 4328-4334, November 2023., 2023 The baseline susceptibility of Haemaphysalis longicornis to organophosphate, carbamate and pyrethroid acaricides was calculated using a larval package approach. Results indicate that the Asian longhorned tick is susceptible to pyrethroids, coumaphos and carbamates, and should also be effective for controlling H. longicornis.
