Abstract:
... The cattle tick Rhipicephalus microplus is an ectoparasite with high economic importance to bovine culture, mainly in tropical and subtropical regions. The resistance of the tick from the commercial acaricides has hindered its control, thus motivating the search for new strategies. The purpose of this study was to perform a critical review about the main molecular targets of R. microplus that are ...

Abstract:
... The aim of this work is to report the presence of resistance to fluazuron in a population of Rhipicephalus microplus in Argentina. The evidence was obtained from field and in vitro trials. In the field trial, cattle infested with ticks was treated with two commercial formulations of fluazuron. The in vitro trial (adult immersion test, AIT) was performed by using technical grade fluazuron. In the f ...

Abstract:
... In areas in which R. microplus may be eliminated from farms, it is essential to evaluate the infestation situation and the biosecurity measures available when deciding whether or not to undertake an elimination effort. Multiple questionnaires have been developed to evaluate the cattle tick situation on farms, however, the validity of those questionnaires has not been evaluated. This study aimed to ...

Abstract:
... The cattle tick Rhipicephalus microplus is one of the most important ectoparasites in the tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Synthetic pyrethroids are widely used to control this tick, and the selection of resistant populations is a huge problem worldwide. The activity of thymol, a natural monoterpene, free or in combination with other compounds, has been demonstrated against different ...

Abstract:
... Control measures against common cattle tick Rhipicephalus microplus are of the upmost importance because of considerable, deleterious impact on a farm’s economy. Due to resistance phenomena to synthetic acaricides being a constraint in affected farms, the search for plant derivatives as acaricides has increased dramatically in recent years. In this work, essential oils obtained from two Ecuadorian ...

Abstract:
... The cattle tick (Rhipicephalus microplus) is one of the most common ticks parasitizing livestock, causing diseases as the vector of pathogens. In this study, we amplified and sequenced the complete mitochondrial (mt) genome of R. microplus from Hainan province of China and compared it with that of R. microplus from Guizhou province of China. The mt genome sequence of R. microplus from Hainan isola ...
... Rhipicephalus microplus, also known as the cattle tick, is the parasite with the greatest impact on cattle in Brazil. The most common method for controlling this tick is the application of synthetic chemical acaricides, especially ivermectin, which belongs to the group of macrocyclic lactones (MLs). However, because ivermectin is widely used, there is concern about the development of cross-resista ...
... In total, 160 ticks infesting cattle in the northeast region of Thailand were collected and used for molecular investigation. Three tick species—Rhipicephalus microplus Canestrini, Rhipicephalus haemaphysaloides Supino and Haemaphysalis bispinosa Neumann—were identified based on morphology and DNA sequences of mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (CO1) and 16S ribosomal RNA (16S rRNA). In ...

Abstract:
... Surveillance for cattle fever ticks is an essential activity in the U.S. Cattle Fever Tick Eradication Program which prevents reestablishment of these tick vectors of the pathogens causing bovine babesiosis. Other methods of detecting tick infested cattle could augment current physical inspection of restrained cattle by program inspectors. The objective of this study was to determine whether a sin ...
... The taxonomy of ticks of the subgenus Boophilus has been extensively debated and is often complicated by the high intraspecific variation of morphological features between species. Notably, the cattle tick Rhipicephalus microplus is a species complex consisting of Rhipicephalus annulatus, Rhipicephalus australis and the three mitochondrial clades (A-C) of R. microplus. To gain insight into the tax ...
... The present study was taken up to evaluate the synergistic properties of piperonyl butoxide (PBO), diethyl maleate (DEM), triphenyl phosphate (TPP) and verapamil (VER) with deltamethrin (DLM) and ivermectin (IVM) against DLM and IVM resistant tick populations collected from Madhya Pradesh and Punjab states of India. The collected field tick populations were resistant to DLM (Resistance Factor [RF] ...
... Fipronil and amitraz are potentially toxic compounds used for controlling ticks infesting pet and livestock. The use of fipronil on large animals was limited because of its high costs while amitraz is still persisting in the market since its introduction over four decades ago. Though resistance in ticks against these pesticides has been reported worldwide since 2000, the toxicity of these chemical ...

Abstract:
... Rhipicephalus microplus, popularly known as the cattle tick, is the most important tick of livestock as it is responsible for significant economic losses. The use of chemical acaricides is still the most widely used control method despite its known disadvantages. Vaccination would be a safe alternative for the control of R. microplus and holds advantages over the use of chemical acaricides as it i ...

Abstract:
... Rhipicephalus microplus is considered to be the most important tick infesting cattle, buffalo, horse, goats as well as other animals. They transmit diseases between domestic animals and act as vectors of a variety of zoonotic pathogens. Although pathogens harbored by R. microplus have been extensively studied, the Rickettsiales pathogens vectored by R. microplus in some areas of China remained lar ...
