Molecular and Serological Identification of and in Cattle and Ticks from Nuevo Leon, Northern Mexico.

Ticks and tick-borne diseases affect livestock productivity and cause significant economic losses. Therefore, surveillance of these pathogens and vectors is paramount to reducing these effects in livestock. This study aimed to identify and sensu lato in ticks collected from cattle.

Evaluation of phytotherapy alternatives for controlling Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus in vitro.

The objective of this study was to identify the main chemical components of the essential oil of Cuminum cyminum L. (cumin) and of the fixed oils of Bertholletia excelsa (Brazil nut) and of Helianthus annuus (sunflower seed). As well as testing the three oils and three different commercial synthetic acaricides against engorged females of Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus in order to explore their acaricidal efficacy.
