Transcriptomic dataset of the development and maturation of the ovary.

To conduct differential gene expression analysis, ovaries from the cattle tick were dissected at three distinct developmental stages (preingurgitated, immature ingurgitated, and mature ingurgitated). Additionally, undissected intact mature males and complete ingurgitated female ticks without ovaries (carcasses) were also collected to serve as reference samples for analysis. To perform total RNA purification, tissue from ten individuals representing each of the five previously described conditions was pooled.

A Novel Receptor Binding Progesterone, a Possible Transregulation Mechanism in the -Host Interaction.

Background: Hormone receptors exert their function through binding with their ligands, which results in cellular signaling activation mediated by genomic or non-genomic mechanisms. The intrinsic molecular communication of tick and its host comprises an endocrine regulation involving hormones. In the present study, we performed a molecular and analysis of a Membrane Associated Progesterone Receptor in (RmMAPRC).

Efficacy of Entomopathogenic Bacteria as a Biocontrol Agent against Ticks: Assessing Reproductive Inhibition and Mortality Rates.

is a persistent ectoparasite of cattle that causes bovine anaplasmosis and babesiosis, causing economic losses worldwide. Chemical treatment is the primary method for tick control, but the emergence of pesticide-resistant ticks is a major challenge. Alternative biocontrol strategies utilizing entomopathogenic microorganisms are being explored.

Current perspectives and difficulties in the design of acaricides and repellents from plant-derived compounds for tick control.

Ticks and tick-borne diseases have gained increasing attention in recent years due to their impact on public health and significant losses in livestock production. The use of synthetic compounds for tick control is becoming problematic, mainly due to the resistance to commercially available products as well as their toxicity. Therefore, new alternative control methods are required.

Relationship between acaricide resistance and acetylcholinesterase gene polymorphisms in the cattle tick Rhipicephalus microplus.

In this study, we aimed to develop a comprehensive methodology for identifying amino acid polymorphisms in acetylcholinesterase transcript 2 (AChE2) in acaricide-resistant Rhipicephalus microplus ticks. This included assessing AChE2 expression levels through qPCR and conducting 3D modeling to evaluate the interaction between acaricides and AChE2 using docking techniques. The study produced significant results, demonstrating that acaricide-resistant R.
