Using environmental factors to predict Rhipicephalus sanguineus s.l. (Acari: Ixodidae) mortality

Pest Management Science, 2023
AbstractBackgroundRhipicephalus sanguineus s.l. (Latreille, 1806) can establish indoor populations, which increases the risk of pathogen transmission to humans and companion dogs. Rhipicephalus sanguineus s.l. ticks spend most of their life cycle off the host, which subjects developmental timescale to abiotic factors.
