(Barend Johannes); Lopez, Job E. (Nature Research, 2022-11-11)The mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) has proven to be important for the taxonomy, systematics, and population genetics of ticks. However, current methods to generate mitogenomes can be costprohibitive at scale. To address ...

(Elsevier, 2016-06)Ancestral reconstruction in its fullest sense aims to describe the complete evolutionary history of a lineage. This depends on accurate phylogenies and an understanding of the key characters of each parental lineage. An ...

De Beer, Chantel Janet; Boikanyo, Solomon N.B.; Venter, Gert Johannes; Mans, Ben J. (Barend Johannes) (Wiley, 2021-03)The volume of the blood meal of haematophagous insects will determine the number of infective particles taken up during feeding and may as such denote the minimum dose needed to infect a competent vector. Culicoides midges ...
-
Mans, Ben J. (Barend Johannes) (Frontiers Media, 2019-05-01)Ticks secrete hundreds to thousands of proteins into the feeding site, that presumably all play important functions in the modulation of host defense mechanisms. The current review considers the assumption that tick ...

Mans, Ben J. (Barend Johannes); Andersen, John F.; Ribeiro, Jose M.C. (MDPI, 2022-12)Hard ticks feed for several days or weeks on their hosts and their saliva contains thousands of polypeptides belonging to dozens of families, as identified by salivary transcriptomes. Comparison of the coding sequences to ...

Mans, Ben J. (Barend Johannes); Pienaar, Ronel; Latif, Abdalla A.; Potgieter, Fred T. (Cambridge University Press, 2011)Sequence variation within the 18S SSU rRNA V4 hyper-variable region can affect the accuracy of real-time hybridization probe-based diagnostics for the detection of Theileria spp. infections. This is relevant for assays ...
-
Mans, Ben J. (Barend Johannes); Venzal, Jose M.; Munoz-Leal, Sebastian (Frontiers Media, 2022-10-31)Soft ticks are interesting ectoparasites due to their ecological habits and unique blood-feeding biology. The wide-ranging nature of research into these parasites is reflected in the diverse set of papers captured in ...
-
Chitimia-Dobler, Lidia; Mans, Ben J. (Barend Johannes) (Springer, 2022-05)The study reports the finding of a nymph attached to a German tourist during a holiday in South Africa. The nymph specimen was morphologically identified and confirmed by sequence analysis of the 16S rRNA and 12S rRNA ...
-
Mans, Ben J. (Barend Johannes); Featherston, Jonathan; De Castro, Minique H.; Pienaar, Ronel (Frontiers Research Foundation, 2017-09-25)Ticks modulate their hosts' defense responses by secreting a biopharmacopiea of hundreds to thousands of proteins and bioactive chemicals into the feeding site (tick-host interface). These molecules and their functions ...
-
Combrink, M.P.; Troskie, P.C.; Pienaar, Ronel; Latif, Abdalla A.; Mans, Ben J. (Barend Johannes) (Elsevier, 2014-01)Genotypic diversity in Babesia bovis (cause of Asiatic redwater in cattle) vaccine strains and field isolates from South Africa were investigated using the Bv80 gene as well as microsatellites. The S11 vaccine strain ...

Pienaar, Ronel; Latif, Abdalla A.; Thekisoe, Oriel M.M.; Mans, Ben J. (Barend Johannes) (Cambridge University Press, 2014)Strict control measures apply to movement of buffalo in South Africa including testing for Theileria parva, the causative agent of Corridor disease in cattle. The official test is a real-time hybridization PCR assay that ...

Paguem, Archile; Mans, Ben J. (Barend Johannes); Kingsley, Manchang; Renz, Alfons; Apanaskevich, Dmitry A.; Chitimia-Dobler, Lidia (Springer, 2022-10)The genus Haemaphysalis Koch, 1844 (Acari: Ixodidae) is the second-largest genus, with more than 170 described species that primarily parasitize mammals and birds (Guglielmone et al. 2014, Guglielmone et al. 2020). ...

Mans, Ben J. (Barend Johannes); De Klerk, Daniel G.; Pienaar, Ronel; Latif, Abdalla A. (Springer, 2014)Nuttalliella namaqua has been described as a “living fossil” and the closest extant species to the ancestral tick lineage.

-
Pienaar, Ronel; Josemans, Antoinette; Latif, Abdalla A.; Mans, Ben J. (Barend Johannes) (Cambridge University Press, 2020)Tick-borne diseases caused by Theileria are of economic importance in domestic and wildlife ruminants. The majority of Theileria infects a limited number of host species, supporting the concept of host specificity. However, ...
