Tissue‐damaging marking methods do not affect tick burdens on field captured Peromyscus spp.
Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 46, Issue 5, December 2022., 2022 Small mammals are important hosts for Ixodes scapularis, particularly white‐footed mice and deer mice from the genus Peromyscus. We evaluate three tissue‐damaging marking methods to determine if any method affects the tick burden on captured mice. There were no significant differences in tick burden on captured mice among the tissue‐damaging marking ...

A snapshot of the Ixodes scapularis degradome [PDF]
Gene, 2011 Parasitic encoded proteases are essential to regulating interactions between parasites and their hosts and thus they represent attractive anti-parasitic druggable and/or vaccine target. We have utilized annotations of Ixodes scapularis proteases in gene bank and version 9.3 MEROPS database to compile an index of at least 233 putatively active and 150 ...

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 182, Issue 1, Page 65-76, January 2023., 2023 Fungal granules inoculated on sterilised soil caused upto 76% mealworm mortality. Abstract In Australia, sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas L.) is vulnerable to root feeding insect pests such as wireworms (e.g., Agrypnus spp.). The number of registered insecticides to control these insect pests is limited and often pest pressure, for example by wireworms, is
