A revision of two distinct species of Rhipicephalus: R. microplus and R. australis

Ciência Rural, 2016
: Rhipicephalus ( Boophilus ) species are monoxenous ticks with seasonal distribution in tropical and subtropical regions. For many years, Rhipicephalus microplus was considered as a single species; however, further analysis split these ticks into two ...

Immunoprotective potential of a Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus metalloprotease

Veterinary Parasitology, 2015
Ticks have serious impacts on animal and human health, causing significant economic losses in cattle breeding. Besides damage due to the hematophagous behavior, they transmit several pathogens. Low cost and environmental safety have made vaccines a promising alternative control method against tick infestation.

Effects of essential oils on native and recombinant acetylcholinesterases of Rhipicephalus microplus [PDF]

Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária, 2021
Abstract This study reports the action of essential oils (EO) from five plants on the activity of native and recombinant acetylcholinesterases (AChE) from Rhipicephalus microplus. Enzyme activity of native susceptible AChE extract (S.AChE), native resistant AChE extract (R.AChE), and recombinant enzyme (rBmAChE1) was determined. An acetylcholinesterase

Dynamics of Infections in Cattle and Rhipicephalus microplus: A Preliminary Study

Pathogens, 2023
Tick-borne pathogens (TBPs) pose a significant threat to livestock, including bovine species. This study aimed to investigate TBPs in cattle and ticks across four sampling points, utilizing real-time microfluidic PCR. The results revealed that Rhipicephalus microplus ticks were found infesting all animals.
