Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 38, Issue 2, Page 189-204, June 2024.We sequenced the entire mt genomes of three species of tick for the first time: Bothriocroton auruginans, B. hydrosauri and H. (Kaiseriana) novaeguineae, and we sequenced the 18S rRNA gene of B. hydrosauri and H. (Kaiseriana) bancrofti. In our phylogenetic trees, Alloceraea was the sister to Archaeocroton sphenodonti, from New Zealand; to the exclusion

Deer farming techniques and diseases of deer in Queensland [PDF]
, 1985 The genesis of the Australian deer industry in the late 1970s was due to a combination of three factors. The high prices paid for velvet antler, particularly by South Korea, automatically set a high price for deer, notwithstanding that we neither had an ...

Discovery of a novel iflavirus sequence in the eastern paralysis tick Ixodes holocyclus [PDF]
Archives of Virology, 2018 Ixodes holocyclus, the eastern paralysis tick, is a significant parasite in Australia in terms of animal and human health. However, very little is known about its virome. In this study, next-generation sequencing of I. holocyclus salivary glands yielded a full-length genome sequence which phylogenetically groups with viruses classified in the ...

Antibacterial and antifungal activity of defensins from the Australian paralysis tick, Ixodes holocyclus [PDF]
Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2019 Tick innate immunity involves humoral and cellular responses. Among the humoral effector molecules in ticks are the defensins which are a family of small peptides with a conserved γ-core motif that is crucial for their antimicrobial activity. Defensin families have been identified in several hard and soft tick species.
