Silencing expression of the Rhipicephalus microplus vitellogenin receptor gene blocks Babesia bovis transmission and interferes with oocyte maturation

Parasites & Vectors, 2019
Background Rhipicephalus microplus is an efficient biological vector of Babesia bovis, a causative agent of bovine babesiosis. Babesia bovis is passed transovarially to the next generation of ticks, which then transmit the parasite to naïve animals.

Management of Ticks and Tick‐Borne Diseases in Cattle in Southern Benin: Study of Farmer’s Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices

Veterinary Medicine International, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Livestock farming is essential for food security and economic resilience in West Africa. However, ticks and tick‐borne diseases (TTBDs) remain a major constraint, causing economic losses and health risks. In southern Benin, where cattle farming is vital, data on farmer’s knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAPs) toward tick management are ...

The first assessment of the stress inducible defense of Leucaena leucocephala with acaricidal potential effect against Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus (Acari: Ixodidae)

Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária
Plants respond to wounding caused by mechanical stress or herbivory by synthesizing defense proteins. There are no studies reporting the action of induced plant proteins against ticks.

Situação atual da resistência do carrapato-do-boi Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus aos acaricidas no Brasil. [PDF]

, 2011
Rhipicephalus microplus é o principal ectoparasita hematófago dos bovinos, presente nas diversas regiões do país. É causador de enormes perdas econômicas pela espoliação que causa ao hospedeiro, além de ser transmissor da tristeza parasitária bovina.

Present and future potential of plant-derived products to control arthropods of veterinary and medical significance [PDF]

, 2014
The use of synthetic pesticides and repellents to target pests of veterinary and medical significance is becoming increasingly problematic. One alternative approach employs the bioactive attributes of plant-derived products (PDPs). These are particularly

Harnessing 50 years of tick population genetics: Choosing the right molecular tool for contemporary research

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 94, Issue 11, Page 2159-2177, November 2025.
Population genetics reveals how ticks interact with hosts, microbiomes and environments. This review guides researchers in choosing the best tool for the job, weighing cost, resolution, reproducibility and throughput to study tick population structure. Abstract Ticks are ectoparasites of major medical, veterinary and ecological importance, transmitting

Isolation of the monooxygenase complex from Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus:Clues to understanding acaricide resistance [PDF]

, 2016
The monooxygenase complex is composed of three key proteins, a cytochrome P450 (CYP), the cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase (CPR) and cytochrome b5 and plays a key role in the metabolism and detoxification of xenobiotic substances, including pesticides.
