Incidents of high tick load in injured cheetahs after reintroduction into a tropical ecosystem

Onderstepoort Journal of Veterinary Research
Ectoparasites can severely impact wildlife species, both through their feeding behaviour and by facilitating secondary infestations or bacterial infections. Here, we report on two cases of periorbital damage caused by ixodid tick infestations in cheetahs

Synthesis and Biological Profile of Substituted Pyrrolidinyl Carboxamides for Acyl‐ACP Thioesterase Inhibition

European Journal of Organic Chemistry, EarlyView.
The work outlined herein covers a series of novel herbicidal lead structures that possess a pyrrolidinyl pyrazole carboxamide scaffold as a key structural feature, carrying further substituted benzyl side chains. Based on scaffold hopping approaches from known fungicidal and herbicidal compounds and utilizing an optimized synthetic approach, a broader ...

Tick Infestation of Eyelid: Two Case Reports

Türk Oftalmoloji Dergisi, 2016
Tick infestation of the eyelid is a rare but serious condition that can lead to Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever. In this report, we describe two cases who presented with tick infestation of the eyelid. Neither patient developed systemic disease or adverse sequelae after tick extraction.

Aromatic plants, nest bacterial diversity, and nestling condition in Corsican blue tits

Oikos, EarlyView.
According to the ‘nest protection hypothesis', some passerines incorporate fresh aromatic plants into their nests which reduce pathogens that can negatively affect nestlings. We experimentally evaluated the effect of five aromatic plant species on the nest bacterial microbiota of Corsican blue tits Cyanistes caeruleus.

The Associated Decision and Management Factors on Cattle Tick Level of Infestation in Two Tropical Areas of Ecuador

Pathogens, 2022
Decision-making on tick control practices is linked to the level of knowledge about livestock farming and to the social context in which individuals practice them. Tick infestation is one of the main problems in tropical livestock production.
