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.

Evaluation of phytotherapy alternatives for controlling Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus in vitro [PDF]
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 ...

Efficacy of eprinomectin pour-on against Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus on buffaloes [PDF]
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.

The southern cattle fever tick, Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus, is no doubt the most economically important ectoparasite of cattle globally. The inappropriate use of chemical acaricides has driven the evolution of resistance in populations of R. (B.)

Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus
Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus Aitken et al. (1958) recorded a few specimens of the southern cattle tick R. (B.) microplus from cattle and sheep in Trinidad. Williams and Gonzalez (1968) observed that Holstein heifers imported into Trinidad from Canada with the intent to develop a dairy industry were exposed to tick-infested pastures and that ...

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.
