Study was conducted on 20 dogs of different breeds and age, of Bhilai area naturally infested with Rhipicephalus Sanguineus ticks. Dogs with moderate to severe tick infestations were treated with ivermectin pour on @ 1ml/10kg body weight. In the present study ivermectin pour on was found to be 100 percent effective against naturally occurring tick infestation in dogs.

We report the finding of a female brown dog tick, Rhipicephalus sanguineus (Acari: Ixodidae) on the scalp of a male patient inPorto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Human parasitism by this tick is rare and has seldomly been reported in the literature, despite its recognized importance since it can act as a vector of Rickettsia rickettsii, the agent of spotted fever.

The brown dog tick (Rhipicephalus sanguineus lato sensu) is the that most affects dogs worldwide and therefore main blood pathogen vector in dogs. efficacy of afoxolaner 2.7 to 7.1 mg/kg NexGard® (group A) plus milbemycin oxime 2.5 5.4 0.5 1.1 respectively NexGard Spectra® (Group B) against R. sanguineus, was evaluated naturally infected sheltered under high challenging conditions four differen...

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...

This study was carried out in Madurai district, Tamil Nadu State, South India. Ticks were collected from cows, dogs, goats, cats, and fowls. The overall percentage of tick infestation these domestic animals 21.90%. following ticks identified: Amblyomma integrum, Haemaphysalis bispinosa, paraturturis, turturis, intermedia, spinigera, Hyalomma anatolicum, brevipunctata, kumari, Rhipicephalus tura...

 Plant extracts and essential oils have been showing potential for use as acaricides. Rhipicephalus sanguineus, the brown tick, mainly parasitizes dogs is responsible pathogens transmission. The insecticidal acaricidal activity of oil (EO) Syzygium aromaticum eugenol already reported, however against R. sanguineus lacked. To evaluate S. EO larvae in vitro assays were performed using larval...

Background: Ticks are of great importance in transmission various canine tick borne diseases. Several characteristics ticks make them outstanding vectors pathogenic agents, the wide host range and slow feeding habit along with tendency to feed on several hosts during life cycle ensures ample opportunity acquire transmit pathogens. Methods: This study focuses status molecular detection haemopara...

Mitogen blastogenic responses of lymphocytes from dogs infested with adult Rhipicephalus sanguineus and the effects of salivary gland extracts (SGE) of the tick on the blastogenic responses of lymphocytes from normal dogs were studied. Infestation by R. sanguineus significantly suppressed concanavalin A, phyto-hemagglutinin and pokeweed mitogen responses of lymphocytes from dogs. The inhibition...

Ticks are blood-sucking ectoparasites of great medical and veterinary significance that can transmit bacteria, protozoa, fungi and viruses, and cause a variety of human and animal diseases worldwide. In the present study, we sequenced the complete mitochondrial (mt) genome of Rhipicephalus sanguineus from China (RSC) and compared with that of R. sanguineus from USA (RSU). Nucleotide sequence di...

BACKGROUND Ticks are important vectors of human and animal pathogens. They are considered as main vectors for transmission of many viral, bacterial, rickettsial and parasitical pathogens. The aim of the present study was to find out species diversity of ticks, which infested the domestic ruminants in Zabol County, Eastern Iran in 2012. METHODS Ticks were selected randomly from sheep, goats, c...
