Movement ecology of exotic nilgai antelope: A threat to the re‐emergence of cattle fever ticks in the southern USA

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2023., 2023
Abstract Wildlife plays an important role in the emergence of livestock diseases, and their movements can complicate disease management efforts. One of the most significant vector‐borne diseases of livestock worldwide is bovine babesiosis, spread by cattle fever ticks (CFTs; Rhipicephalus [=Boophilus] microplus and Rhipicephalus [=Boophilus] annulatus).

In vitro screening and in vivo evaluation of antiparasitic phytochemicals against Cryptocaryon irritans in pompano, Trachinotus ovatus

open access: yesJournal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 53, Issue 6, Page 1084-1100, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Cryptocaryon irritans, one of the most devastating holotrichous ciliated protozoans, causes massive economic losses in the pompano, Trachinotus ovatus, mariculture industries. Considering the many advantages of phytochemicals, such as low cost, low residuals, and low pollution, they can be a good alternative for the prevention and control of C.

Immunoprotective potential of a Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus metalloprotease

open access: yesVeterinary Parasitology, 2015
Ticks have serious impacts on animal and human health, causing significant economic losses in cattle breeding. Besides damage due to the hematophagous behavior, they transmit several pathogens. Low cost and environmental safety have made vaccines a promising alternative control method against tick infestation.

Muscarinic acetylcholine receptor activation synergizes the knockdown and toxicity of GABA‐gated chloride channel insecticides

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 78, Issue 11, Page 4599-4607, November 2022., 2022
Activation of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors in conjunction with gamma‐amino butyric acid inhibiting insecticides results in enhanced knockdown and mortality. Target‐site synergism within the insect nervous system may play a role in insect pest management with the development of selective and effective chemistries.

In silico analysis for identification of tick phagotopes selected by phage-displayed libraries Análises in sílico na identificação de fagotopos de carrapatos selecionados por bibliotecas de phage display

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária, 2009
Phage display techniques have been widely employed to map epitope structures which have served as the basis for developing molecular vaccines. We have applied this technique to map specific epitopes of Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus.

Terpenes on Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus: Acaricidal activity and acetylcholinesterase inhibition

open access: yesVeterinary Parasitology, 2020
The Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus tick is the main ectoparasite of cattle in tropical and subtropical regions worldwide. Resistance to chemical acaricides has become widespread affirming the need for new drugs to tick control. Terpenes have become a promising alternative for cattle tick control, however the mechanism of action of these compounds ...
