Acaricide resistance mechanisms in Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus [PDF]
Acaricide resistance has become widespread in countries where cattle ticks, Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus, are a problem. Resistance arises through genetic changes in a cattle tick population that causes modifications to the target site, increased metabolism or sequestration of the acaricide, or reduced ability of the acaricide to penetrate ...

Metagenomics of the midgut microbiome of Rhipicephalus microplus from China [PDF]
Abstract Background Ticks, which are ectoparasites of animals, may carry multiple pathogens. The cattle tick Rhipicephalus microplus is an important bovine parasite in China. However, the midgut microbiome of R.

Reassociation kinetics-based approach for partial genome sequencing of the cattle tick, Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus [PDF]
Background: The size and repetitive nature of the Rhipicephalus microplus genome makes obtaining a full genome sequence fiscally and technically problematic. To selectively obtain gene-enriched regions of this tick's genome, Cot filtration was performed,

Serine proteinase inhibitor families in Rhipicephalus microplus
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 ...

TOR as a Regulatory Target in Rhipicephalus microplus Embryogenesis [PDF]
Embryogenesis is a metabolically intensive process carried out under tightly controlled conditions. The insulin signaling pathway regulates glucose homeostasis and is essential for reproduction in metazoan model species. Three key targets are part of this signaling pathway: protein kinase B (PKB, or AKT), glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK-3), and target ...

A Coxiella mutualist symbiont is essential to the development of Rhipicephalus microplus [PDF]
AbstractThe cattle tickRhipicephalus microplusis a hematophagous ectoparasite that causes important economic losses in livestock. Different species of ticks harbor a symbiont bacterium of the genusCoxiella. It was showed that aCoxiellaendosymbiont fromR.microplus(CERM) is a vertically transmitted mutualist symbiont, comprising 98% of the 16S rRNA ...
