Coronado A. 2006. Ixodiphagus hookeri Howard, 1907 (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae) in the brown dog tick Rhipicephalus sanguineus Latreille, 1806 (Acari: Ixodidae) in Venezuela. Entomotropica 21(1):61-64. Nymphs of the ixodid tick Rhipicephalus sanguineus were found naturally infected by the tiny wasp Ixodiphagus hookeri. The parasitism resulted in the death of the host ticks, as cause of ingestion o...

This study was conducted to show the effectiveness of a novel formulation of fipronil in a spot-on formulation for the therapeutic and preventive control of Rhipicephalus sanguineus in naturally infested dogs. Ticks on all dogs were counted at the moment of treatment and weekly after treatment (therapeutic efficacy) or infestation (preventive efficacy). The profile of the therapeutic efficacy f...

Four acaricides (amitraz, cyfluthrin, permethrin, and pyrethrins) were studied for their efficacy in the rapid killing of Amblyomma americanum, A. cajennense, and A. maculatum (Acari: Ixodidae) and eight acaricides (amitraz, carbaryl, chlorpyrifos, cyfluthrin, fipronil, permethrin, pyrethrins, and selamectin) for their efficacy in the rapid killing of Rhipicephalus sanguineus (Acari: Ixodidae)....

OBJECTIVES Ticks are vectors of several diseases, of which many are zoonosis transmissible to humans. The use of Tephrosia leafs' extract as a low cost acaricide is spreading among farmers in central Kenya. MATERIALS AND METHODS The present study's aim is to inventory endogenous control methods against dogs' ticks among which Rhipicephalus sanguineus, in the Municipality of Abomey-Calavi. Fro...

The species composition and geographic distribution of ixodid ticks infesting domestic dogs owned by people in rural communities and villages in Maputo Province was established by collecting ticks from dogs at each of 27 localities spread throughout the province. Ticks were collected from a total of 132 dogs, and nine species belonging to four genera were identified. One dog was infested with s...

this study was conducted during 3 years period (2002-2004). tick sampling was carried out randomly from domestic animals during seasonal activity of ticks from different parts of iran. 2170 ticks from 151 cattle, 629 sheep, 336 goats and 33 camels were collected. the occurance of tick infestation in cattle, sheep, goats and camels was 60%, 71.4%, 53% and 46 % respectively. sampled ticks of rhip...
