Brown dog tick, Rhipicephalus sanguineus sensu lato, infestation of susceptible dog hosts is reduced by slow release of semiochemicals from a less susceptible host.
Domestic dog breeds are hosts for the brown dog tick, Rhipicephalus sanguineus sensu lato, but infestation levels vary among breeds. Beagles are less susceptible to tick infestations than English cocker spaniels due to enhanced production of 2-hexanone and benzaldehyde that act as volatile tick repellents. We report the use of prototype slow-release formulations of these compounds to reduce the...
متن کاملRhipicephalus sanguineus (Acari: Ixodidae), the brown dog tick, parasitizing humans in Brazil.
The objective of this paper is to describe four cases of human parasitism by Rhipicephalus sanguineus (Latrielle) in Brazil. During an investigation regarding the species of ectoparasites of domestic dogs from the metropolitan region of Recife, Pernambuco state, four dog owners were found to be parasitized by ticks. The ticks were collected from these individuals and their dogs. All the ticks w...
متن کاملHuman feet bitten by multiple brown dog ticks, Rhipicephalus sanguineus
A 69-year-old man presented with many ticks on both feet. Multiple engorged adult ticks were observed on his soles (Fig. 1). Larvae, nymphs, adults and nymph exuviae were seen on the dorsum of both feet, and the patient had elongated toenails (Fig. 2). The patient suffered a brain infarction 14 years ago. Since his wife died a year before, and his pet dog died soon after, he became seriously de...
متن کاملUsing plastic tips in artificial feeding of Rhipicephalus sanguineus sensu lato (Acari: Ixodidae) females.
This study evaluated the influence of the initial weight, feeding period and temperature on weight gain and biological parameters of the non-parasitic phase of partially engorged Rhipicephalus sanguineus females that were artificially fed using plastic tips as feeding devices. The device did not alter the oviposition of the females or any other parameters evaluated. Furthermore, it was observed...
متن کاملUltrastructural Morphology and Molecular Analyses of Tropical and Temperate “Species” of Rhipicephalus sanguineus sensu lato (Acari: Ixodidae) in Brazil
The Rhipicephalus sanguineus (Latreille) complex (Acari:Ixodidae) is composed of species with intra- and interspecific morphological variation that make their diagnosis difficult. In the present study, male specimens of the R. sanguineus complex were collected from dogs in six districts of three regions of Brazil and submitted to molecular and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analyses. Analys...
