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 ...

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 ...

Identification and distribution of Rhipicephalus microplus in selected high-cattle density districts in Uganda: signaling future demand for novel tick control approaches

BMC Veterinary Research
Background Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus (Canestrini, 1888), the Asian blue tick, is a highly invasive and adaptable ectoparasite. This tick species has successfully established itself in most regions of the world, with movement of cattle being a ...

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 ...

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

Diversity of Ticks in the Caribbean Region and Detection of Their Pathogens Using BioMark Technology

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Introduction Ticks and the pathogens they transmit are widespread in Caribbean animal populations. There is; however, limited information on the diversity of ticks and tick‐borne pathogens (TTBPs) in the region. This study aims to identify TTBPs across multiple Caribbean countries using a high‐throughput real‐time microfluidic PCR system.
