Gene Expression in the Salivary Gland of Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus Fe...
GIACHETTO, P. F.; CUNHA, R. C.; NHANI JUNIOR, A.; GARCIA, M. V.; FERRO, J. A.; ANDREOTTI, R.The success of cattle tick fixation largely depends on the secretion of substances that alter the immune response of the host. The majority of these substances are expressed by the parasite salivary gland and secreted in tick saliva. It is known that hosts can mount immune responses against ticks and bovine European breeds, and bovine industrial crossbreeds are more susceptible to infestations than are Bos indi...
Analysis of Bm86 conserved epitopes: is a global vaccine against Cattle Tick Rh...
BLECHA, I. M. Z.; CSORDAS, B. G.; AGUIRRE, A. de A. R.; CUNHA, R. C.; GARCIA, M. V.; ANDREOTTI, R.The cattle tick Rhipicephalus microplus causes significant economic losses in agribusiness. Control of this tick is achieved mainly through the application of chemical acaricides, often resulting in contamination of animal food products and of the environment. Another major concern associated with acaricide use is the increasing reports of resistance of this tick vector against the active ingredients of many co...
Wildlife species, Ixodid fauna and new host records for ticks in an Amazon fore...
ZIMMERMANN, N. P.; AGUIRRE, A. de A. R.; RODRIGUES, V. da S.; GARCIA, M. V.; MEDEIROS, J. F.; BLECHA, I. M. Z.; DUARTE, P. O.; CRUZ, B. C.; CUNHA, R. C.The objective of this work was to evaluate the diversity of ticks associated with free-living animals and to investigate new host records for ticks. Ticks were collected from animals rescued during the flood of the Jamari River in the municipality of Ariquemes, state of Rondônia, North Region of Brazil. A total of 39 animals were captured, out of which 10 were amphibians, 19 were reptiles and 10 were mammals. A...
Molecular characterization of the recombinant protein RmLTI-BmCG-LTB: Protectiv...
CSORDAS, B. G.; CUNHA, R. C.; GARCIA, M. V.; SILBA, S. da S.; LEITE, F. L.; ANDREOTTI, R.The bovine tick Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus is found in several tropical and subtropical regions of the world. This parasite transmits pathogens that cause disease, such as babesiosis ( Babesia bovis and B . bigemina ) and anaplasmosis (Anaplasma marginale). Tick infestations cause enormous livestock losses, and controlling tick infestations and the transmission of tick-borne diseases remains a challeng...
Spotted fever group Rickettsia in Amblyomma dubitatum tick from the urban area ...
MATIAS, J.; GARCIA, M. V.; CUNHA, R. C.; AGUIRRE, A. de A. R.; BARROS, J. C.; CSORDAS, B. G.; ANDREOTTI, R.Rickettsia infection of each tick was evaluated by the hemolymph test and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) targeting gltA and ompA genes. All hemolymph tests were negative and PCR of one A. dubitatum detected both Rickettsia genes. Sequence of ompA exhibited a 99% identity with Rickettsia parkeri and R. africae and a 98% identity with R. sibirica. Rickettsia of the spotted fever group in A. dubitatum is describe...
New insights from molecular characterization of the tick Rhipicephalus (Bophilu...
CSORDAS, B. G.; GARCIA, M. V.; CUNHA, R. C.; GIACHETTO, P. F.; BLECHA, I. M. Z.; ANDREOTTI, R.The Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus complex currently consists of five taxa, namely R. australis, R. annulatus, R. (B.) microplus clade A sensu, R. microplus clade B sensu, and R. (B.) microplus clade C sensu. Mitochondrial DNA-based methods help Taxonomists when they are facing the morpho-taxonomic problem of distinguishing members of the R. (B.) microplus complex. The purpose of this study was to perform ...
