... A nickel-catalyzed decarbonylative thioetherification of carboxylic acids with thiols was developed. Under the reaction conditions, benzoic acids, cinnamic acids, and benzyl carboxylic acids coupled with various thiols including both aromatic and aliphatic ones produce the corresponding thioethers in up to 99% yields. Moreover, this reaction was applicable to the modification of bioactive molecule ...

Abstract:
... Tick infestations and tick-borne diseases continue to be the leading causes of loss in livestock and revenue, particularly in developing countries, despite the prevalent use of synthetic acaricides. Research on plants as alternative sources of anti-arthropod agents has received attention from many researchers in the recent past. This interest is mainly motivated by the compelling need to move away ...

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:
... A major contributor to bee colony decline is infestation with its most devastating pest, the mite Varroa destructor. To control these mites, thymol is often used, although how it achieves this is not understood. One well-documented action of thymol is to modulate GABA-activated ion channels, which includes insect RDL receptors, a known insecticidal target. Here we have cloned two Varroa RDL subuni ...

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:
... Sarcoptic mange is one of the most severe, highly contagious, and fatal ectoparasitic infestations of rabbits. Fluralaner, an isoxazoline class of oral ectoparasiticide, is considered as a very potent acaricide. The present study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of oral fluralaner in pet rabbits with severe spontaneous Sarcoptes scabiei infestation. A total of eight un-neutered pet rabbi ...

Abstract:
... The present study was conducted to evaluate sublethal effects of B-azolemiteacrylic on the two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae). Female adults of T. urticae were exposed to LC₁₀ and LC₃₀ of the acaricide, and the effects on treated females and their offspring were evaluated. The results showed that the fecundity of F₀ female adults treated with LC₁₀ and LC₃₀ of ...

Afoxolaner, an insecticide and acaricide compound of the isoxazoline class, is available for dogs as an oral ectoparasiticide medicine (NexGard®) and as an oral endectoparasiticide medicine in combination with milbemycin oxime (MO), a macrocyclic lactone (NexGard® Spectra). The safety of these two compounds, alone or in combination, was investigated in homozygous MDR1‐deficient collie dogs, in two ...

Abstract:
... Bees can be contaminated with pesticides in agricultural areas during foraging; however, effects of pesticides on stingless bee species are not well studies. Thus, this research evaluated the toxic effects of the insecticide chlorpyrifos, acaricide cyflumetofen and the fungicide difenoconazole for Tetragonisca angustula exposed in different means of exposure to pesticides under laboratory conditio ...

Abstract:
... Geraniol esters, such as geranyl acetate, are known to have antimicrobial and insect-repellent action, but their acaricidal activity has been little explored. This study aimed to investigate the solvent-free synthesis of geranyl acetate in batch (BSTR) and fed-batch (FBSTR) stirred tank reactors using the immobilized lipases NS 88011 and Novozym 435 and evaluate its larvicidal activity against the ...

Abstract:
... Ticks are a widely distributed arthropod of veterinary importance. Resistance of ticks to synthetic acaricides has become widespread, warranting the development of new drugs for tick management. Carvacrol is a volatile monoterpene, with promising results against various species of ticks; however, to be used for therapeutic purposes, carvacrol must be included in a formulation that makes its applic ...

In this study, the mortality rates and responses of D. gallinae to 2 acaricides with a physical mode of action (Dergall and Mite Max) and 2 acaricides with a chemical mode of action (Milben Ex and Bio PK) were evaluated in tree dilutions ( ...
... 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:
... Cases of Lyme disease in humans are on the rise in the United States and Canada. The vector of the bacteria that causes this disease is the blacklegged tick, Ixodes scapularis. Current control methods for I. scapularis mainly involve chemical acaricides. Unfortunately, ticks are developing resistance to these chemicals, and more and more, the public prefers non-toxic alternatives to chemical pesti ...
... The repellency and toxicity of a CO₂-derived cedarwood oil (CWO) was evaluated against actively questing unfed nymphs of four species of hard ticks: Amblyomma americanum (L.), Dermacentor variabilis (Say), Ixodes scapularis Say, and Rhipicephalus sanguineus (Latreille). Using a vertical climb bioassay for repellency, nymphs of these species avoided a CWO-treated filter paper in proportional respon ...

Abstract:
... The two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae), is one of the most important pests of cultivated plants. Its control is mainly based on the application of acaricides with concomitant adverse environmental and human health effects. Consequently, we examined the potential of using temperature as an alternative. To that end, we conducted bioassays of the temperature-mort ...
... Blood-feeding arthropods, particularly ticks and mosquitoes are considered the most important vectors of arthropod-borne diseases affecting humans and animals. While feeding on blood meals, arthropods are exposed to high levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) since heme and other blood components can induce oxidative stress. Different ROS have important roles in interactions among the pathogens, ...
... The Varroa destructor mite is a serious worldwide pest of honeybees that is usually controlled with pyrethroid-based acaricides. However, the intensive use of these substances over the past decades has led to the development of resistance in these mites. Here, Varroa samples collected between 2006 and 2021 from apiaries across Spain were studied to evaluate the presence of mutations producing pyre ...

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 ...
