The advancement of multi-omics technologies is crucial to deepen knowledge on tick biology. These approaches, used study diverse phenomena, are applied experiments that aim understand changes in gene transcription, protein function, cellular processes, and prediction systems at global biological levels. This review addressed the application omics data investigate elucidate physiological such as feeding, digestion, reproduction, neuronal, endocrine systems, understanding population dynamics,...

Abstract Intensive use of chemical acaricides for the control cattle ticks ( Rhipicephalus microplus ) has led to development multiple acaricide resistance in Colombia. The present study aimed characterize, using toxicological bioassays and molecular biology techniques, profile a tick strain isolated from Arauca state, Northeast Commercial were used adult immersion tests determine its vitro efficacies. Deltamethrin showed very low activity (4–7.3%), mixture cypermethrin chlorpyrifos had...

Rickettsiae are obligate intracellular Gram-negative bacteria that the causative agent of rickettsioses and spread to vertebrate hosts by arthropods. There no previous reports isolation Rickettsia amblyommatis for Colombia.A convenience sampling was executed in three departments Colombia direct collection adult ticks on domestic animals or over vegetation. Ticks were screened presence spp. real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) amplifying citrate synthase gene (gltA), positive sample...

Capybaras (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris) are affected by a wide range of protozoan and metazoan-derived parasitic diseases. Among parasites free-ranging capybaras soil-, water-, food- gastropod-borne parasitosis, today considered as opportunistic infections in semiaquatic ecosystems. The overlapping the capybara’s natural ecological habitats with human domestic animal activities has unfortunately increased recent decades, thereby enhancing possible cross- or spillover events zoonotic parasites....

In Colombia, the control of cattle tick Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) micropluslies almost exclusively on use chemical acaricides. However, R.(B.) microplus has developed resistance to most commercially availableproducts. The aim this study was assess degree resistanceto major topical acaricides used in Colombia. adult immersiontest as recommended by FAO with ticks from 7 farms originatingin 4 distant Colombian regions. efficacy products calculatedbased reproductive parameters fecundity and...

Studies evaluating candidate tick-derived proteins as anti-tick vaccines in natural hosts have been limited due to high costs. To overcome this problem, animal models are used immunization tests. The aim of article was review the use rabbits an experimental model for evaluation vaccines. A total 57 tick tested their immunogenic potential using rabbit vaccination. most commonly breeds were New Zealand (73.8%), Japanese white (19%), Californians (4.8%) and Flemish lop-eared (2.4%). Anti-tick...

Learning about ticks is important because of the diseases and problems they can cause in people animals. Ticks are related to spiders not insects—they parasites that live outside their host‘s body infest a variety must feed on blood survive, when feed, spread germs found all around world various strategies have been tried control these parasites. Chemical (pesticides) most common method; however, some shown resistance chemicals. Alternative methods explored, including vaccinating animals...

The identification and characterization of tick proteins allow us to discover new physiological targets useful for the development control methods. Bm05br (Brazil Rhipicephalus microplus protein 05) is a with unknown function identified in saliva R. microplus. Rs05br sanguineus s.l. 05), 99% similarity Bm05br, was egg, larval, nymphal stages, as well adult saliva. To improve knowledge about both proteins, immunological performed, including antigenicity analysis, vaccination trials,...

Background: Trypanosoma evansi is the most common protozoan in tropical and subtropical regions of world, due to its ability maintain be transmitted by vectors such as Stomoxys spp. Tabanus This causes high morbidity mortality rates horses African, American Asian countries. In years 2021 2022, a rate was reported among with symptoms associated municipality Arauca, department Colombia. The investigation described here therefore carried out, seeking identifythe pathogens risk factors that led...
