Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus

2012
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 ...

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.

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.

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.

Population structure and genetic diversity of Rhipicephalus microplus in Zimbabwe

Acta Tropica, 2018
Recently there was an expansion in the geographic range of Rhipicephalus microplus in Zimbabwe. In order to understand gene flow patterns and population structure in this highly invasive and adaptable cattle tick, a population genetics study was carried out. Eighty-seven R.

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 ...

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.

First report of fipronil resistance in Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus of Mexico

Veterinary Parasitology, 2013
Five strains of Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus collected from Tamaulipas Mexico were tested for resistance against several classes of acaricides commonly used. All were resistant to fipronil. Four of five were co-resistant to permethrin and coumaphos in addition to being resistant to fipronil.

Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus embryo proteins as target for tick vaccine

Veterinary Immunology and Immunopathology, 2012
Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus is one of the most widely distributed tick in the world. The control of the parasite is based mainly on the use of chemical acaricides, which are produced from a limited set of molecules. These drugs induce selection of acaricide-resistant ticks, and are an important source of environmental pollution.
