Repellency and efficacy of 65% permethrin and 9.7% fipronil against Ixodes ricinus.
Two topically applied spot-on products--65% permethrin (Defend Exspot Treatment for Dogs, Schering-Plough Animal Health, Union, NJ) and 9.7% fipronil (Frontline Spot On Dog, Merial Limited, Iselin, NJ)--used for canine flea and tick control were evaluated for repellency against Ixodes ricinus, the tick species that is the primary vector of Lyme disease in Europe. Eighteen dogs were randomly ass...
متن کاملEffects of acorn production and mouse abundance on abundance and Borrelia burgdorferi infection prevalence of nymphal Ixodes scapularis ticks.
Risk of exposure to Lyme disease is a function of the local abundance of nymphal Ixodes ticks that are infected with the etiological agent, the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi. We monitored abundance of white-footed mice (the principal B. burgdorferi reservoir in the eastern and central United States) and acorns (a critical food resource for mice), and Ixodes scapularis ticks, as well as ambien...

متن کاملTwo Anaplasma phagocytophilum Strains in Ixodes scapularis Ticks, Canada
We developed PCR-based assays to distinguish a human pathogenic strain of Anaplasma phagocytophilum, Ap-ha, from Ap-variant 1, a strain not associated with human infection. The assays were validated on A. phagocytophilum-infected black-legged ticks (Ixodes scapularis) collected in Canada. The relative prevalence of these 2 strains in I. scapularis ticks differed among geographic regions.
متن کاملTwo Anaplasma phagocytophilum Strains in Ixodes scapularis Ticks, Canada
Blacklegged ticks (n=12,606) were collected over four years (2007-2010) as part of a national passive tick surveillance program conducted in Canada by the National Microbiology Laboratory (NML) using the methods described previously (1). Adult I. scapularis were also collected by drag sampling: in 2008 from Itasca State Park, Camp Ripley and St. Croix State Park (n=56 per locality) in Minnesota...
