Transcriptome of larvae representing the Rhipicephalus sanguineus complex
Rhipicephalus sanguineus sensu lato (Ixodida: Ixodidae) is possibly the most widespread tick species worldwide, responsible for transmitting several vector-borne pathogens of medical and veterinary importance. Here, we explore the transcriptome of R. sanguineus s.l. larvae (Putignano strain). We sequenced total RNA from R. sanguineus s.l. larvae.

The taxonomic status of Rhipicephalus sanguineus (Latreille, 1806)
The brown dog tick, Rhipicephalus sanguineus sensu stricto, is a species with considerable public health and economic importance. However, the taxonomic status of this species is far from resolved. After more than 110 years of scientific work on R. sanguineus s.s., the situation is that there is no type, no solid description, nor is there a consensus ...

Quantitative study of Rickettsia massiliae in Rhipicephalus sanguineus organs [PDF]
Rickettsia massiliae, belonging to the spotted fever group of Rickettsia, is a human pathogen causing a similar course of disease to that caused by R. conorii, the originally recognized etiologic agent of Mediterranean spotted fever. In view of this similarity, we performed an ultrastructural study of R.

In Vitro effect of the ethanolic extract of Tephrosia Vogelii on Rhipicephalus Sanguineus in Abomey-Calavi [PDF]
Objectives: Ticks are vectors of several diseases, of which many are zoonosis transmissible to humans. The use of Tephrosia leafs’ extract as a low cost acaricide is spreading among farmers in central Kenya. Materials and Methods: The present study’s aim

Molecular detection and characterization of tick-borne pathogens in dogs and ticks from Nigeria. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Only limited information is currently available on the prevalence of vector borne and zoonotic pathogens in dogs and ticks in Nigeria. The aim of this study was to use molecular techniques to detect and characterize vector borne pathogens in ...

Acute febrile illness is associated with Rickettsia spp infection in dogs [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Rickettsia conorii is transmitted by Rhipicephalus sanguineus ticks and causes Mediterranean Spotted Fever (MSF) in humans. Although dogs are considered the natural host of the vector, the clinical and epidemiological significance of R ...

Detection of Borrelia and Ehrlichia in Rhipicephalus sanguineus
Rhipicephalus sanguineus, the brown dog tick, is endemic throughout the world wherever domestic dogs are present. It has been recently reported by some veterinarians in the city of Laredo, Texas, USA, that Lyme disease, the most common tick-borne disease in the Northern United States, is present in local domestic dogs. Fully engorged R.
