Effect of Stemona spp. against Rhipicephalus microplus

Experimental and Applied Acarology, 2013
Stemona plants have been traditionally used against various insects in Thailand and Southeast Asian countries. The acaricidal efficacy of 9 species of Stemona grown in Thailand was evaluated against dairy cattle tick, Rhipicephalus microplus using adult immersion test and in vivo evaluation on infested calves. From the ten Stemona root extracts used in

Reprolysin metalloproteases from Ixodes persulcatus, Rhipicephalus sanguineus and Rhipicephalus microplus ticks

Experimental and Applied Acarology, 2014
Metalloproteases (MPs) have been considered essential for blood feeding and other physiological functions in several hematophagous animals, including ticks. We report the characterization of MP sequences of three important ticks from Asia, Africa and America: Ixodes persulcatus (Ip-MPs), Rhipicephalus sanguineus (Rs-MPs) and R.

Microbial agents for the control of ticks Rhipicephalus microplus

Parasitology Research
Ticks are ectoparasites responsible for the transmission of various pathogens to vertebrates. They represent one of the major threats to livestock production worldwide due to their impact on the health, production and welfare of livestock destined for human consumption.

Efficiency of Lecanicillium lecanii to control the tick Rhipicephalus microplus

Veterinary Parasitology, 2010
Rhipicephalus microplus, known as the cattle tick, causes serious economic losses in the Brazilian cattle industry each year. Traditional parasite control is primarily based on the use of chemical acaricides, which unfortunately have many negative side effects. Biological control is seen as a promising alternative to chemical acaricide use.

Peptide-based immunoprotection against Rhipicephalus microplus tick

Veterinary Parasitology
The main agents for tick control are chemical acaricides. However, when used without technical guidance, they can lead to environmental damage and the development of resistant tick strains. In this context, vaccines are alternative o be used in integrated tick management format by combining with other effective tools.

Serine proteinase inhibitor families in Rhipicephalus microplus

open access: yes, 2008
The search for Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus (cattle tick) vaccine candidates is a high research priority in Australia. Serine proteinase inhibitors (serpins) are implicated as potential vaccine candidates due to their ability to interfere with ...

Complete mitochondrial genome of cattle tick ( Rhipicephalus microplus)

Mitochondrial DNA Part A, 2014
In this study, we report the basic characteristics of the cattle tick mitochondrial genome, including structural organization and base composition of the rRNAs, tRNAs and protein-coding genes. The total length of the mitogenome was 14,901 bp and its overall base composition was estimated to be 38.8% for A, 40.8% for T, 11.3 % for C, 9.1% for G ...

Local immune response to larvae of Rhipicephalus microplus in Santa Gertrudis cattle immune response against Rhipicephalus microplus

2018
This study investigated the local immune response at larval attachment sites in Santa Gertrudis cattle with low and high levels of tick resistance. Skin samples with tick larvae attached were collected from Santa Gertrudis cattle at the end of a period of 25 weekly infestations, when the animals manifested highly divergent tick-resistant phenotypes ...
