Efficiency of Lecanicillium lecanii to control the tick Rhipicephalus microplus
Veterinary Parasitology, 2010Rhipicephalus 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.

Modelling the distribution of Rhipicephalus microplus and R. decoloratus in Zimbabwe
Veterinary Parasitology: Regional Studies and Reports, 2018Species distribution modelling is a very useful tool in vector management. Ticks are vectors of various pathogens which cause serious problems in livestock production in tropical countries. They have a high dispersal potential which is mainly facilitated by the movement of animals from one area to another.

Factors influencing the selection of Rhipicephalus microplus resistance to acaricides
Veterinary ParasitologyRhipicephalus microplus is a hematophagous ecto-parasite of cattle that has a cosmopolitan distribution in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. This tick species causes economic losses by consuming blood and reducing meat and milk production, as well as facilitating the transmission of pathogens.

Peptide-based immunoprotection against Rhipicephalus microplus tick
Veterinary ParasitologyThe 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.

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 ...
