Rhipicephalus microplus is one of the most dangerous parasites in cattle. Many acaricides are used to control it however, this has led to a rapid selection of resistant parasites. Selective targeted treatment has been proposed as an alternative to systematic treatment, allowing a acaricide...

Currently, livestock owners manage tick infestations using chemicals, but the method is increasingly losing effectiveness as resistant tick populations have established in the field conditions. Thus, to develop effective tick management strategies, monitoring of resistance in most predominant tick...

Theileria orientalis Ikeda has caused an epidemic of bovine anemia and abortion across several U.S. states. This apicomplexan hemoparasite is transmitted by Haemaphysalis longicornis ticks; however, it is unknown if other North American ticks are competent vectors. Since the disease movement is...

The immunoprophylactic management of ticks is the most effective option to control tick infestations and counter spread the acaricide resistance problem worldwide. Several researchers reported an inconsistent efficacy of the single antigen-based immunization of hosts against different tick species. ...

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...
