Efficacy of eprinomectin pour-on against Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus on buffaloes [PDF]
Journal of Parasitic Diseases, 2012 A trial was conducted on 12 buffaloes naturally infested with Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus to evaluate the efficacy of eprinomectin pour-on at a dose of 0.5 mg/kg body weight. A reduction in live tick count by 45.94, 63.96, 81.53, 90.54, 98.19 and 100 % was observed on days 3, 5, 7, 10, 14 and 21 post-treatment, respectively.

A Trypanosoma species detected in Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus ticks from Argentina
Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2021 Specimens of a Trypanosoma sp. were found in a haemolymph sample of Rhipicephalus microplus from Argentina. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was done targeting the SSU rRNA gene of Trypanosoma spp. and a fragment of 2300 base pairs (bp) was amplified, subsequently a phylogenetic analysis was conducted, based on an alignment of 905 bp, containing the ...

Comparative study of hatching estimation methods of Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus eggs [PDF]
Veterinary Parasitology, 2018 Reproductive parameters of Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus are often evaluated. They are good indicators of resistance to commercial acaricides and of plant extracts' efficacy. The objective of this study was to compare the techniques: visual estimation and quantification by sampling used in the Adult Immersion Test (AIT) to calculate the hatching ...

CattleTickBase: An integrated Internet-based bioinformatics resource for Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus [PDF]
International Journal for Parasitology, 2012 The Rhipicephalus microplus genome is large and complex in structure, making it difficult to assemble a genome sequence and costly to resource the required bioinformatics. In light of this, a consortium of international collaborators was formed to pool resources to begin sequencing this genome.

Evaluation of phytotherapy alternatives for controlling Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus in vitro [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária, 2017 Abstract The objective of this study was to identify the main chemical components of the essential oil of Cuminum cyminum L. (cumin) and of the fixed oils of Bertholletia excelsa (Brazil nut) and of Helianthus annuus (sunflower seed). As well as testing the three oils and three different commercial synthetic acaricides against engorged females of ...

Veterinary Parasitology, 2009 The ticks Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus and Haemaphysalis longicornis are blood-sucking ectoparasites of bovines, causing serious damages to the livestock production. The main control method for these ticks is based on acaricides. However, the use of vaccines has been studied as a promising control strategy.
