A generic population model for the African tick Rhipicephalus appendiculatus

Parasitology, 1997
We present a simulation population model for the African tick Rhipicephalus appendiculatus, based on previous analyses of the mortality factors most closely correlated with observed population changes at 11 sites in equatorial and South Africa. The model incorporates temperature-dependent rates of egg production and development, climate-driven ...

Unravelling the biochemical aspects of the interaction between ticks and Leishmania using a tick cell line

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 350-359, June 2026.
Leishmania infantum propagated in IDE8 tick cell line in vitro. L. infantum reduces tick cell viability and induces reactive oxygen species production. Lipidic profile of IDE8 tick cell line is altered during Leishmania infection. Abstract Leishmaniasis comprises a group of vector‐borne neglected tropical diseases caused by species of the obligatory ...

Diversity, Host Attachment Preferences and Role of Tick Rhipicephalus microplus in the Transmission of Bartonella spp. and Rickettsia spp. in Cattle From Southern Benin

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 3, May 2026.
Ticks infesting cattle in Southern Benin were investigated for diversity, attachment preferences and zoonotic bacteria. Among 2210 ticks collected from 540 cattle, Rhipicephalus microplus predominated (79.6%). Ticks mainly attached to ears, axillae and trunk. PCR detection revealed Bartonella spp. and Rickettsia spp., highlighting veterinary and public
