Malan, Melissa; Serem, June Cheptoo; Bester, Megan Jean; Neitz, A.W.H. (Albert Walter Herman); Gaspar, A.R.M. (Anabella Regina Marques) (Wiley, 2016-01)Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are small, cationic peptides that possess a large spectrum of bioactivities, including antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. Several AMPs are known to inhibit ...

Louw, Elizabeth M.; Van der Merwe, Nicolaas Albertus (Albie); Neitz, A.W.H. (Albert Walter Herman); Maritz-Olivier, Christine (Elsevier, 2013-01)One of the principle mechanisms utilised by ticks to obtain a blood meal is the subversion of the host’s haemostatic response. This is achieved through the secretion of saliva containing anti-haemostatic proteins into ...

Barnard, Annette-Christi; Nijhof, Ard M.; Gaspar, A.R.M. (Anabella Regina Marques); Neitz, A.W.H. (Albert Walter Herman); Jongejan, Frans; Maritz-Olivier, Christine (Elsevier, 2012-05)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 inhibit these essential functions and ...

Neitz, A.W.H. (Albert Walter Herman); Gothe, R.; Bigalke, R.D. (Published by the Government Printer, Pretoria., 1985)By leaving open in tum the genital orifice, coxal apertures and anus , the present study has shown that engorged female Argas walkerae release at least 1 volatile pheromone mainly, or maybe exclusively, from the genital ...

Taute, Helena; Bester, Megan Jean; Neitz, A.W.H. (Albert Walter Herman); Gaspar, A.R.M. (Anabella Regina Marques) (Elsevier, 2015-09)Os and Os-C are two novel antimicrobial peptides, derived from a tick defensin, which have been shown to have a larger range of antimicrobial activity than the parent peptide, OsDef2. The aim of this study was to determine ...

Neitz, A.W.H. (Albert Walter Herman); Gothe, R.; Bigalke, R.D. (Published by the Government Printer, Pretoria., 1985)It was shown in this study that Rhipicephalus evertsi evertsi males emit pheromones in the preparasitic as well as in the parasitic phases. Conspecific unengorged male and female images exhibited a high response to ...

Neitz, A.W.H. (Albert Walter Herman); Vermeulen, N.M.J.; Gothe, R.; Senekal, A.C.; Bigalke, R.D. (Published by the Government Printer, Pretoria., 1986)Major differences were observed in hexane, ethanol and butanol extracts of eggs obtained from Rhipicephillus evertsi evertsi females in which the porose areas functioned normally (AP⁺ eggs) and from R. evertsi evertsi in ...
