(University of Pretoria, 2018)Cattle ticks from the genus Rhipicephalus are hematophagous ectoparasites of great veterinary and economic importance. Currently, the main method for managing ticks and tick-borne diseases is the application of chemical ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2014)Rhipicephalus microplus belongs to the Ixodidae, the largest family of ticks, which are of great economic importance due to their negative socio-economic impact on agriculture (BROUQUI 2011; PORTO NETOA et al. 2011; ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2013)The cattle tick, Rhipicephalus microplus, has a debilitating effect on the livestock industry worldwide, owing to its being a vector of the causative agents of bovine babesiosis and anaplasmosis. In South Africa, co-infestation ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2018)Ticks and tick-borne diseases have a negative impact on the quality and quantity of livestockderived products. As such, effective control strategies against these parasites are needed. Currently, acaricides are the most ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2021-04-20)Acaricide resistance against all major classes of acaricides has been reported in tick populations around the world. In South Africa, amitraz is one of the most commonly used acaricides, with resistance being reported in ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2021)Rhipicephalus microplus is a major ectoparasite of cattle that causes large economic losses. This is due to the diseases it transmits resulting in high mortality and morbidity in bovines, as well as indirect losses such ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2013)Cellulose is a highly abundant biopolymer which forms the basis of several industrial applications including paper and textile products. Cellulose is deposited into the plant cell wall by a large membrane bound protein ...

-
(University of Pretoria, 2013)Tick proteins functioning in vital physiological processes such as blood meal uptake, digestion and reproduction are potential targets for anti-tick vaccines, since vaccination could disrupt these essential functions and ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2013)The rapid geographic expansion of the cattle tick species, Rhipicephalus microplus, as well as the introduction of diseases into previously unaffected areas and the increased incidence of acaricide resistance in this species ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2015)Human babesiosis is a rapidly emerging, zoonotic, infectious disease causing potentially lifethreatening malaria-like symptoms in humans. Disease prevalence has escalated over the past 50 years from a few isolated cases ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2013)Control of Rhipicephalus microplus is predominantly mediated by the application of acaricides, but the rapid acquisition of resistance by this species and environmental pollution resulting from discarded acaricides, ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2013)Vaccination with recombinant Bm86 was found to protect against tick infestation, however, the efficacy of the vaccine varies against different tick species and geographical strains. An improvement of current vaccines could ...
