Ticks on pastures and on two breeds of cattle in the Eastern Cape province, South Africa
Many studies on the population dynamics of questing ticks on pastures and of parasitic ticks on cattle have been conducted. Few, however, have attempted to link the two in a single study.

Species composition, diversity and predilection sites of ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) infesting cattle in the Western Highlands of Cameroon [PDF]
Ticks are haematophagous ectoparasites infesting wilds and domestic animals as well as humans and, are considered after mosquitoes to be the principal vectors for the transmission of various pathogens.

Carryover Effects of Thermal Conditions on Tick Survival, Behavior, and Simulated Detectability
Recent thermal history affects the abundance and behavior of adult Amblyomma americanum. Thermal responses impacted simulated tick detection through combined effects on movement and mortality. ABSTRACT Carryover effects occur when environmental history of an organism influences its behavior, fitness, and population dynamics.

Triosephosphate isomerase from Fasciola hepatica: high‐resolution crystal structure as a drug target
The high‐resolution crystal structure of triosephosphate isomerase from F. hepatica was solved at 1.51 Å resolution in its monoclinic form, revealing details of the dimer interface critical for enzyme function. Molecular docking with the fasciolocide triclabendazole suggests selective binding near nonconserved residues, highlighting this enzyme as a ...

Rickettsia spp. and Anaplasmataceae in Ticks From Domestic Animals in Northern Colombia
ABSTRACT Introduction Tick‐borne diseases have a significant impact on public and animal health and represent a considerable financial burden on livestock farming. However, in many regions of Latin America, comprehensive epidemiological data, including species identification, geographical distribution and molecular profiling of ticks and their ...
