The brown dog tick is unusual among ticks in that it can complete its entire life cycle indoors as well as outdoors. Brown dog tick infestations can develop in dog kennels and residences, where populations can reach dramatic levels and cause dog diseases. This 6-page fact sheet written by and published by the UF/IFAS provides the distribution, description and identification, life cycle, and management of the brown dog tick as well as its hosts and the medical and veterinary significance of this troublesome pest. https://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/in378

AbstractMedical Officers (MOs) and Medical Branch Ratings (MBRs) must maintain an awareness of the risk of vector-borne diseases among deployed personnel.Personnel working in the maritime environment may not expect to be at risk of tick bites, as ticks typically occupy habitats with dense vegetation such as forests or scrub land. However, tick-borne pathogens can cause serious and sometimes fatal disease, and therefore the risk of tick bites and associated diseases should be recognised.We present a case of a tick bite in a member of a ship’s company eight days after leaving port. The tick was identified as a brown dog tick (Rhipicephalus sanguineus), a species known to thrive indoors. We describe several important tick-borne diseases which can be transmitted by R. sanguineus and explore best practice for tick removal and aftercare. Finally, we outline the appropriate management of suspected tick-borne disease in deployed personnel in the maritime environment.

Ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) were collected from family-owned domestic dogs, Canis familiaris L., in Bulloch Co., GA, from 1996 to 2003 and from dogs maintained in a shelter in Emanuel Co., GA, in 2002 and 2003. A total of 2,466 ticks representing 9 species was recovered. The most frequently recovered species from family-owned dogs were the blacklegged tick, Ixodes scapularis Say (54.6% of all ticks from this group of dogs), and American dog tick, Dermacentor variabilis (Say) (27.7%). Collections from shelter-maintained dogs were dominated by the brown dog tick, Rhipicephalus sanguineus (Latreille) (73.6%). Except for 39 nymphs of the lone star tick, Amblyomma americanum (L.), 12 nymphs of R. sanguineus, 7 nymphs of the Gulf Coast tick, Amblyomma maculatum Koch, 1 nymph of D. variabilis and 72 larvae of the gopher tortoise tick, Amblyomma tuberculatum Marx, only adult ticks were present. Seasonally, I. scapularis adults were recorded from October through May and were most common in the fall; whereas, A. americanum, A. maculatum, A. tuberculatum, D. variabilis, and Ixodes affinis Neumann were all found only during the spring, summer and/or early fall. Two species of ticks collected during this study, A. tuberculatum and I. affinis, have Coastal Plain distributions in the southern U.S. and would only be expected to parasitize dogs within this region.

The objective of this paper is to describe four cases of human parasitism by Rhipicephalus sanguineus (Latrielle) in Brazil. During an investigation regarding the species of ectoparasites of domestic dogs from the metropolitan region of Recife, Pernambuco state, four dog owners were found to be parasitized by ticks. The ticks were collected from these individuals and their dogs. All the ticks were identified as Rhipicephalus sanguineus . These are, to our knowledge, the first four cases of human parasitism by this tick species in Brazil. The possible implications of this finding are discussed here.

Abstract Ixodicidal activity of two collars against the brown dog tick was verified by a field test in northeast Spain, following the tick load on dogs over a 4-month period. Collars were a 9% Amitraz (AMZ) (Preventic®, Virbac) and a Propoxur + Flumethrin (PPX) (Kiltix®, Bayer) formulation. For this field test, we used 30 adult Beagle dogs, in 2 groups of 10 each, with each collar, and a third group of 10 dogs with only placebo collar to serve as the check. After collar fitting, and every week, dogs were allowed to walk freely across a periurban area, heavily infested with ticks. Counts of ticks were done 3 days after each natural infestation. Natural infestations were carried out while the mean number of ticks/check dog was equal to or higher than 10, allowing a total of 8 infestations. Ticks were counted as alive unfed females, alive feeding females, dead unfed females, and dead feeding females.

AbstractThis paper reports the development of the canid filarial worm, Dipetalonema dracunculoides, in the brown dog tick, Rhipicephalus sanguineus by determining whether development is similar within larval, nymphal and adult stages of infected ticks. This study demonstrates that only infected nymphal ticks can support the complete development of the filarial worm. Infected larval ticks are not suitable intermediate hosts, nor are infected adults. Development depends on some stage-specific property of the vector, and the maturation to the infective stage is stimulated during the course of the nymphal-adult moult.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Q fever is a zoonotic disease caused by Coxiella burnetii, a gram-negative coccobacillus, which has been detected in a wide range of animal species, mostly domestic ruminants, but also in wild mammals, pets, birds, reptiles, arthropods (especially ticks), as well as in humans. Although the exposure to domestic animals in rural areas is regarded as the most common cause of the disease in humans, recent studies have shown that the role of pets in the epidemiology of Q fever has been increasingly growing. Although the primary route of infection is inhalation, it is presumed that among animals the infection circulates through ticks and that they are responsible for heterospecifi c transmission, as well as spatial dispersion among vertebrates. The aim of this study was to determine the presence and prevalence of C. burnetii in ticks removed from stray dogs, as well as to examine the distribution of tick species parasitizing dogs on the territory of Belgrade city. A PCR protocol targeting IS1111 repetitive transposon-like region of C. burnetii was used for the detection of C. burnetii DNA in ticks and the results were confi rmed by sequence analysis. In total, 316 ticks were collected from 51 stray dogs - 40 females (78.43%) and 11 males (21.57%). Three species of ticks were identifi ed: Rhipicephalus s anguineus (72.15%), Ixodes ricinus (27.53%) and Dermacentor reticulatus (0.32%). Out of 316 examined ticks, C. burnetii DNA was detected only in the brown dog tick R. sanguineus, with a total prevalence of 10.53% (24/228) . The high prevalence of C. burnetii in R. sanguineus, which is primarily a dog tick, indicates the importance of dogs in the epidemiology of Q fever in the territory of Belgrade.

Rhipicephalus sanguineus, the brown dog tick, is endemic throughout the world wherever domestic dogs are present. It has been recently reported by some veterinarians in the city of Laredo, Texas, USA, that Lyme disease, the most common tick-borne disease in the Northern United States, is present in local domestic dogs. Fully engorged R. sanguineus ticks were collected and their DNA was purified. The ticks were screened to determine the prevalence of Borrelia, Rickettsia and Ehrlichiaspecies. Sequences related to Borrelia burgdorferiin 9.8% (n=11/112), “Candidatus Borrelia lonestari” in 16.9% (n=19/112) and Ehrlichia canis in 12.5% (n=14/112) were detected by PCR. Sequencing has confirmed the presence of DNA from Ehrlichia canisand “Candidatus B. lonestari”, corroborating that Borrelia and Ehrlichia are present in domestic dogs in South Texas.

Abstract Background Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF) is a significant public health problem in Sonora, Mexico, resulting in thousands of cases and hundreds of deaths. Outbreaks of RMSF are perpetuated by heavy brown dog tick infestations in and around homes. During 2009–2015, there were 61 RMSF cases and 23 deaths in a single community of Sonora (Community A). Methods An integrated intervention was carried out from March–November 2016 aimed at reducing tick populations with long-acting acaricidal collars on dogs, environmental acaricides applied to peri-domestic areas and RMSF education. Tick levels were measured by inspection of community dogs to monitor efficacy of the intervention. A similar neighborhood (Community B) was selected for comparison and received standard care (acaricide treatment and education). Results The prevalence of tick-infested dogs in Community A declined from 32.5% to 8.8% (p<0.01). No new cases of RMSF were identified in this area during the subsequent 18 mo. By comparison, the percentage of tick-infested dogs in Community B decreased from 19% to 13.4% (p=0.36) and two cases were reported, including one death. Conclusions Community-based interventions using an integrated approach to control brown dog ticks can diminish the morbidity and mortality attributable to RMSF.

Full textAbstract:
The dopamine receptor is critical in fluid secretion from tick salivary glands and, as such, was perceived as a potential drug target. Homology cloning was employed to isolate a dopamine receptor from R. sanguineus salivary glands. A dopamine receptor was successfully cloned from locust salivary glands although not from R. sanguineus salivary glands. A cDNA library was constructed from feeding female R. sanguineus salivary glands and random mass sequencing of 1440 clones was performed. Sequences were identified from database searches and classified according to gene ontology. Several enzymes were identified as potential drug targets and a glutathione S-transferase (GST) was chosen for further study. The dopamine receptor was not identified, as were no other G protein-coupled receptors. A mu class GST from R. sanguineus salivary glands was expressed as a recombinant protein in E. coli and was found to have differences when compared to other tick GSTs, namely low catalytic activity with a model substrate. Preliminary studies suggested that the GST is not involved in prostaglandin synthesis and the GST bound haematin with high affinity. Of several tissues investigated within female ticks, the GST mRNA was only expressed in the salivary glands and only in glands from feeding female ticks indicating a potential role in blood feeding. Two approaches were employed to identify drug targets in R. sanguineus salivary glands. It is concluded that whilst random mass sequencing of a cDNA library yields many potential targets, because of the nature of the salivary gland tissue with high repetition of mitochondrial and secretory protein RNA, homology cloning would be the recommended approach for scientific, low abundance targets.

Abstract: Tick control based on chemical acaricides has led to rapid selection of resistant ectoparasites as well as environmental and animal products contamination. Therefore, there is an increasing incentive in the search for alternatives to the parasite's control, such as the development of vaccines. This study aimed to evaluate the use of a recombinant aquaporin R.(Boophilus) microplus protein as antigen in a vaccine against R. sanguineus in domestic dogs. The research was conducted on scientific cooperation with the United States Department of Agriculture / Agricultural Research Service (USDA / ARS). The vaccine's effects were evaluated at different stages of the ectoparasite in dogs previously vaccinated with antigen + adjuvant (Montanide) (G1) and in animals of a control group inoculated only with adjuvant (G2). It was evaluated: i. biotic potential (biological parameters) of ticks; ii. serum antibodies (IgG) titers of the dogs after immunization, by indirect enzymelinked immunosorbent assay (ELISA); iii. Histopathological evaluation of the tick's attachment site at various times post-fixation on the host's skin, including the inflammatory cell counts migrated into the inflammatory site; iv. Tick's ovarian histology for observation of possible damage caused by the action of the immunogen; v. possible antigen action sites in the tick's body by immunohistochemical assay. The main results were: 1) The engorgement period of adult females from the immunized group was 12% lower than the control group; 2) Larvae from the immunized group had 8.7% higher engorgement period than the control group and weighed 7.2% less; 3) Nymphs from the immunized group had 4.5% lower engorgement period and weighed 3.6% less than the control group; 4) Although the animals showed increased antibodies titer post-second immunization, these titers decreased rapidly; 5) The (Complete abstract click electronic access below)

Rhipicephalus sanguineus sensu lato, the "brown dog tick", preferentially parasite the domestic dog, in the latter can parasite others mammals species including humans. This tick demonstrates a hunting behavior by its host, being widely attracted by the bark and the CO2 among other signs related to the presence of its hosts. Despite being commonly found parasite on dogs, it is known that some breeds such as beagles are less parasitic than other breeds like English Cocker Spaniel which can present a parasitic load about up to 11.5 times higher than mongrel dogs. It is notable a capacity of ticks and other arthropods in their hosts in relation to desirable or undesirable characteristics that can perceive these by means of chemoreception of volatile compounds emanated by these hosts. This adaptive tool is called olfactory aposematism. Olfactory apostotism is capable of an ectoparasite in avoiding its hosts through a perception of a volatile chemical emanated by it that signals a negative adaptive response to the arthropod. Usually this response may be linked to immune factors, excessive grooming, inaccessibility or other factors. One of the big problems nowadays undoubtedly is the control of ticks and diseases that are transmitted to their hosts during the blood repast. One of the alternatives for control of parasitism in order to deter ticks from the search for their hosts is a use of compounds found in resistant hosts that are interpreted by these arthropods as non-hosts. These compounds demonstrate a more specific activity between arthropod parasites and their hosts, since they were selected during an adaptation between species involved in this parasite-host relationship forging bases of parasite selection by susceptible and resistant hosts.
Rhipicephalus sanguineus sensu lato, também conhecido como “carrapato marrom do cão”, parasita preferencialmente o cão doméstico, no entanto pode parasitar inúmeras outras espécies mamíferas inclusive seres humanos. Este carrapato demonstra um comportamento de busca ativa por seu hospedeiro, sendo amplamente atraído pelo latido e pelo CO2 e outros sinais relacionados a presença de seus hospedeiros. Apesar de parasitar preferencialmente cães sabe-se que algumas raças como o beagle são menos parasitadas que outras raças como Cocker spaniel inglês que podem apresentar uma carga parasitaria cerca de até 11,5 vezes maior que cães mestiços. É notável a capacidade de carrapatos e demais artrópodes tem em selecionar seus hospedeiros em relação a características desejáveis ou indesejáveis que conseguem perceber destes, por meio da quimiorrecepção de compostos voláteis emanados pelos hospedeiros. A esta ferramenta adaptativa damos o nome aposematismo olfativo que é capacidade de um de parasito em evitar seus hospedeiros mediante a percepção de um químico emanado por este que sinalize uma resposta adaptava negativa ao artrópode. Geralmente esta resposta pode estar ligada a fatores imunes, excesso de grooming ou inacessibilidade ou demais fatores. Um dos grandes problemas na atualidade sem dúvida e o controle de carrapatos e doenças que são transmitem a seus hospedeiros durante o repasto sanguíneo. Uma das alternativas para o controle de parasitismo afim de dissuadir os carrapatos da busca por seus hospedeiros é uma utilização de compostos encontrados em hospedeiros resistentes que são interpretados por estes artrópodes como não hospedeiros. Estes compostos demonstram atividade mais especifica entre artrópode parasitos e seus hospedeiros, pois foram selecionados durante uma adaptação entre espécies envolvidas nesta relação parasitohospedeiro forjando bases da seleção de parasitos por hospedeiros suscetíveis e resistentes.

Substâncias de origem vegetal como óleos essenciais e seus componentes têm demonstrado potencial para serem empregados no controle de diferentes pragas, incluindo carrapatos. Entre essas substâncias destacam-se os monoterpenos timol e carvacrol e o fenilpropanóide eugenol, moléculas que já tiveram sua atividade evidenciada sobre os carrapatos Rhipicephalus microplus e Rhipicephalus sanguineus s.l., espécies de grande importância econômica. Apesar da ação isolada dessas substâncias sobre carrapatos ter sido demonstrada in vitro em diferentes trabalhos, até o momento não existem estudos sobre o efeito da combinação das mesmas e relato de possível ação sinérgica sobre ixodídeos. Também são escassos os trabalhos que avaliam a atividade dessas substâncias em ambientes naturais ou semi-naturais, visando controlar carrapatos com ações direcionadas sobre a fase não parasitária. Dessa forma, este estudo teve como objetivos, avaliar os efeitos das combinações dos monoterpenos timol e carvacrol e do fenilpropanóide eugenol sobre larvas de R. microplus e R. sanguineus s.l. e avaliar a atividade carrapaticida do timol sobre larvas de R. microplus em condições semi-naturais. O primeiro capítulo traz os resultados dos efeitos das combinações das substâncias sobre as larvas desses carrapatos e para esse fim, foi utilizado o teste de pacote de larvas. Primeiramente foi feito o cálculo de CL50 e em seguida essas substâncias foram testadas em associação ou isoladas em concentrações subletais. Para larvas de R. microplus foram observados valores de CL50 para o timol, carvacrol e eugenol de 1,53; 1,76 e 4,67 mg/mL, respectivamente, e sinergismo entre todas as nove combinações testadas. Os valores de CL50 do timol, carvacrol e eugenol observados para larvas de R. sanguineus s.l., foram de 2,98; 3,29 e 5,19 mg/mL, respectivamente, sendo esse o primeiro estudo a determinar a CL50 dessas substâncias para R. sanguineus s.l. Para esta espécie, oito misturas apresentaram efeito sinérgico e apenas a combinação de carvacrol+timol na concentração da CL50, apresentou efeito sinérgico moderado. No segundo capítulo foi observado, pela primeira vez na literatura, que o timol ao ser aplicado em mudas de Brachiaria decumbens infestadas artificialmente com larvas de R. microplus foi capaz de reduzir 11 significativamente a infestação por esse carrapato. As maiores concentrações (10, 15, 20, 25 e 30,0 mg/mL) ocasionaram eficácias acima de 95% e os valores encontrados para as CL50 e CL90 foram de 3,45 e 9,25 mg/mL, respectivamente. Conclui-se que associações entre timol, carvacrol e eugenol em concentrações subletais apresentam efeito sinérgico sobre larvas de R. microplus e R. sanguineus s.l. e que o timol apresenta potencial para redução de larvas de R. microplus em condições semi-naturais.
Substances of plant origin, such as essential oils and their components have demonstrated the potential to be used to control different pests, including ticks. Among these substances stand out monoterpenes thymol and carvacrol and the phenylpropanoid eugenol, molecules that already had their activity demonstrated against ticks Rhipicephalus microplus and Rhipicephalus sanguineus s.l., species of great economic importance. Despite the isolated action of these substances on ticks has been demonstrated in vitro in different papers, until now there are no studies on the effect of the combination of this substances and report of possible synergistic action on ticks. Also there are few studies that evaluate the activity of these substances in natural and semi-natural environments in order to control ticks with targeted actions on the non-parasitic phase. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the effects of combinations of monoterpenes thymol and carvacrol and phenylpropanoid eugenol on larvae of Rhipicephalus microplus and Rhipicephalus sanguineus s.l. and evaluate the insecticidal activity of thymol on larvae of R. microplus in semi-natural conditions. The first chapter presents the results of the effects of combinations of substances on the larvae of these ticks. For R. microplus larvae were observed LC50 values for the thymol, carvacrol and eugenol of 1.53; 1.76 and 4.67 mg/ml, respectively, and synergism between all combinations tested. The LC50 values of thymol, carvacrol and eugenol observed for larvae of R. sanguineus s.l., were 2.98; 3.29 and 5.19 mg/ml, respectively. This is the first work reporting the LC50 values of these three substances against R. sanguineus s.l. For this species, eight combinations showed synergistic effect and only the combination of carvacrol+thymol in the concentration of LC50, showed moderate synergism. In this study it was observed that the larvae of R. microplus were more sensitive to the tested substances and their combinations. In the second chapter it was observed for the first time that thymol when applied in Brachiaria decumbens seedlings artificially infested with larvae of R. microplus was able to significantly reduce the infestation by this tick. The highest concentrations (10, 15, 20, 25 and 30.0 mg/ml) resulted efficiencies above 95% and the values found for the LC50 and LC90 were 3.45 and 9.25 mg/ml, respectively. It is concluded that associations between thymol, eugenol and carvacrol at sublethal concentrations have a synergistic effect on larvae of R. microplus and Rhipicephalus sanguineus s.l. and thymol has the potential for reducing R. microplus larvae in semi-natural conditions.

O presente estudo objetivou avaliar a toxicidade de diferentes solventes e do Tween 80 sobre os estágios imaturos de Rhipicephalus sanguineus e sobre larvas e ninfas ingurgitadas e ninfas não ingurgitadas de Amblyomma cajennense. Para larvas não ingurgitadas de R. sanguineus foi utilizado o teste de pacote de larvas modificado e a mortalidade foi avaliada após 24 horas. O mesmo teste foi adaptado para a realização do experimento com ninfas não ingurgitadas das duas espécies e nesses dois experimentos foram testados os solventes etanol, metanol e acetona puros e dimetilsufóxido e tween 80 na concentração de 50μl/ml. Em relação aos testes com larvas e ninfas ingurgitadas foi utilizada a metodologia de imersão e a mortalidade foi avaliada após 15 dias. Os solventes etanol, metanol e acetona foram testados nas concentrações de 50, 250, 500, 750 e 1000 μl/ml, enquanto que o solvente dimetilsufóxido e o surfactante Tween foram testados somente a 50μl/ml, no entanto, para A.cajennense o surfactante foi acrescido com a concentração de 25μl/ml para os estágios ingurgitados. Para cada teste foi feito um controle com água destilada. Foram feitas dez repetições por tratamento e os grupos experimentais foram mantidos em câmara climatizada (27±1°C e UR>80±10%). Para R. sanguineus a acetona se mostrou tóxica nos estágios ingurgitados na maior concentração, o etanol e metanol foram tóxicos na maior concentração apenas para larvas ingurgitadas; para as larvas ingurgitadas de A. cajennense o etanol, metanol e a acetona forma tóxicos na maior concentração e o Tween matou 52 e 80% das larvas para as concentrações de 25 e 50μl/ml respectivamente, já para ninfas ingurgitadas o metanol matou 17,4 e a acetona 100% quando testados em qualidade pura, as ninfas não ingurgitadas não demonstraram sensibilidade aos solventes testados. Quanto a observação preliminar sobre a presença de ectoparasitos em aves silvestres, foram examinadas 58 aves de 5 famílias com prevalência de 15,5% de ectoparasitos.
The present study aimed to evaluate the toxicity of different solvents and of Tween 80 in immature stages of Rhipicephalus sanguineus and in larvae and engorged and non engorged nymphs of Amblyomma cajennense. For non engorged larvae of R. sanguineus it was utilized the larval packet test modified and mortality was evaluated after 24 hours. The same test was adapted for non engorged nymphs of both species and in both assays were tested ethanol, methanol and acetone in its pure concentrations and dimethylsulphoxide and Tween 80 in a concentration of 50μl/ml. For engorged larvae and nymphs it was utilized the immersion test and mortality was available after 15 days. The solvents ethanol, methanol and acetone were testes at concentrations of 50, 250, 500, 750 and 1000 μl/ml, while dimethylsulphoxide and the surfactant Tween were tested at concentrations of 50μl/ml, however, in the assays with A.cajennense engorged stages, the surfactant was added with a concentration of 25μl/ml. Ten repetitions were made for each treatment and the experimental groups were maintained in a BOD incubator (27±1°C e UR>80±10%).For each test it was made a control group with distilled water. For R.. sanguineus acetone showed toxic effects in engorged stages at the higher concentration, ethanol and methanol were toxic at higher concentration only for engorged larvae; to engorged larvae of A. cajennense the ethanol, methanol and acetone were toxic in the higher concentrations and the Tween caused mortality of 52 and 80% of larvae in concentrations of 25 and 50μl/ml respectively, for engorged nymphs, methanol caused a mortality of 17,4 and acetone of 100% when tested in pure concentrations, the tested solvents did not show any effect in engorged nymphs. As a preliminary remark on the presence of ectoparasites in wild birds, 58 birds were examined from 5 families with a prevalence of 15.5% of ectoparasites.

Resumo: O Brasil é um dos maiores exportadores de carne bovina do mundo, entre 2003 e 2008 a receita com exportações cresceu de um bilhão para mais de cinco bilhões de dólares. Apesar disso, o setor enfrenta perdas consideráveis devido à ocorrência de infestações massivas de ectoparasitas como os carrapatos da espécie Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus. Ainda dentro do agronegócio, outra produção que se encontra em amplo crescimento e demonstrando grande potencial de ganho de espaço no mercado internacional é a ovinocultura, com rebanho estimado em 14 milhões de animais, colocando o Brasil em 18º lugar no ranking mundial de exportações. Porém, existem grandes perdas econômicas devido à existência de infestações com endoparasitas, como o nematódeo gastrintestinail da espécie Haemonchus contortus. Em paralelo à preocupação com os prejuízos financeiros no agronegócio, outra espécie de carrapato, Rhipicephalus sanguineus, desperta interesse dos pesquisadores por ser o vetor de microrganismos causadores de importantes doenças em cães nas regiões tropicais e subtropicais. Devido ao mau uso, acaricidas e nematicidas sintéticos tem ocasionado o fenômeno de resistência, com isso a busca por novas substâncias a partir de espécies vegetais configura-se numa alternativa muito promissora para o controle desses parasitas. A espécie Achyrocline satureioides (Lam.) D.C. (Asteraceae), popularmente conhecida como macela, possui em sua composição compostos fenólicos, sobretudo flavonóis e flavanonas, ...

Abstract: Brazil is one of the largest beef exporter in the world and between 2003 and 2008, revenue from exports grew from one billion to more than five billion dollars. Nevertheless, the sector is facing considerable losses due to the occurrence of massive infestations of ectoparasites such as tick species of Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus. In the agribusiness, another production that is in ample growth and showing great potential for space gain in the international market is the sheep industry, with herd estimated at 14 million animals, placing Brazil in 18th position in the world exports ranking. However, there are great economic losses due to the infestations of endoparasites, such as the gastrointestinal nematodes species of Haemonchus contortus. In parallel to the concern about the financial losses in agribusiness, other tick species, Rhipicephalus sanguineus, arouses interest of researchers for being the vector of microorganisms that causes major diseases to dogs in tropical and subtropical regions. Due to misuse of synthetic antiparasitic, which causes the phenomenon of resistance to them, the search for new substances from plant species sets up a very promising alternative for the biological control. The species Achyrocline satureioides (Lam.) DC (Asteraceae), popularly known as macela, has in its composition phenolic compounds, particularly flavonols and flavanones in the inflorescences. Based on the aspects, this study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of extractives of the first Brazilian cultivar of A. satureoides developed in the CPQBA on ticks R. (B.) microplus and R. sanguineus, as well as on the nematode H. contortus, using in vitro assays. The essential oil and the extracts of inflorescences of macela have shown that this plant has high activity on engorged females of R. (B.)... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)

Rhipicephalus sanguineus sensu lato (s.l.) é um carrapato de conhecida importância médico-veterinária, devido ao seu potencial na transmissão de patógenos e aos danos diretos aos hospedeiros, como espoliação sanguínea, estresse, alergias e dermatites. O controle desses parasitos baseia-se, principalmente, no uso de substâncias químicas sintéticas, que frequentemente trazem conseqüências como contaminação ambiental, intoxicação dos animais e seus tratadores, e seleção de linhagens de carrapatos resistentes. O timol, um monoterpeno aromático isolado inicialmente de plantas da família Lamiaceae, vem apresentando bons resultados no controle de R. sanguineus s.l. em testes in vitro. Para que seja utilizado como um carrapaticida, o timol necessita ser veiculado em uma formulação farmacêutica adequada, que apresente facilidade de aplicação, custo acessível e segurança para uso tópico. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar, pela primeira vez, a atividade carrapaticida in vitro de duas formulações de uso tópico contendo diferentes concentrações de timol, sobre larvas e ninfas, ingurgitadas e não ingurgitadas, de Rhipicephalus sanguineus s.l.. Para tal, foram desenvolvidas duas formulações-base: uma emulsão óleo em água (O/A) e uma solução hidroalcoólica, contendo diferentes concentrações de timol (0,5 mg/mL a 20 mg/mL). Para os bioensaios foi adotado o teste de pacote de larvas modificado, no caso de larvas e ninfas não ingurgitadas, com avaliação da mortalidade após 24 horas; e o teste de imersão, para larvas e ninfas ingurgitadas, com avaliação da mortalidade após 15 dias. O grupo controle constituiu-se das formulações-base, sem timol. Foram feitas 10 repetições para cada tratamento. Nos testes com emulsão, foi alcançada taxa de mortalidade média de 94,2% com a concentração de 0,75 mg/mL em larvas não ingurgitadas. No caso de larvas ingurgitadas, houve mortalidade média de 95,0% na concentração de 5,0 mg/mL. Ninfas não ingurgitadas tratadas com a emulsão a 2,5 mg/mL atingiram taxa de mortalidade média de 83,3% e no teste com ninfas ingurgitadas, foi verificada média de 86,0% de mortalidade para a concentração de 5,0 mg/mL. Nos testes com a solução hidroalcoólica, a mortalidade média encontrada para larvas não ingurgitadas foi de 88,1% para a concentração de 2,5 mg/mL. Para larvas ingurgitadas, a maior taxa de mortalidade verificada foi de 25,0%, na concentração de 20 mg/mL; o teste com ninfas não ingurgitadas apresentou taxas de mortalidade de 91,0% na concentração de 1,0 mg/mL e no teste com ninfas ingurgitadas verificaram-se baixas taxas de mortalidade, com o valor máximo de 18,3% para 20 mg/mL. Além dos testes em carrapatos, foram realizados testes de estabilidade preliminar com o objetivo de verificar eventuais problemas nas formulações. A solução hidroalcoólica mostrou-se estável em todas as condições testadas, nas concentrações de 2,5 e 5,0 mg/ml; a emulsão O/A mostrou sinais de instabilidade precoce na concentração de 5,0 mg/ml, porém, na concentração de 2,5 mg/ml apresentou-se estável. Os resultados obtidos indicaram que o timol, quando incorporado às formulações propostas, apresentou aumento de sua atividade acaricida sobre larvas não ingurgitadas de R. sanguineus s.l. tratadas topicamente, quando comparado aos dados da literatura; e embora tenha havido variações na toxicidade entre diferentes estágios e formas (ingurgitadas/não ingurgitadas), estas formulações parecem ser promissoras para um futuro uso terapêutico.
Rhipicephalus sanguineus sensu lato (s.l.) is a tick with known medical and veterinary importance, due to its potential for transmission of pathogens as well as the direct damage caused to hosts, such as blood spoliation, stress, allergies and dermatitis. Control of these parasites is mainly based on the use of synthetic chemical substances, but these often have negative consequences, including environmental contamination, intoxication of animals and handlers/owners, and selection of resistant strains. Thymol, an aromatic monoterpene initially isolated from plants of the family Lamiaceae, has presented good results in controlling R. sanguineus s.l. in in vitro tests. For use as an acaricide, thymol needs to be carried in a suitable pharmaceutical formulation, allowing easy application, reasonable cost and safety for topical use. The objective of this work was to assess, for the first time, the in vitro acaricidal activity of two topical formulations, each with different concentrations of thymol, on larvae and nymphs, both engorged and non-engorged, of R. sanguineus sensu lato. For this purpose, two base formulations were prepared: an oil-in-water (O/W) emulsion and a hydroalcoholic solution, containing different thymol concentrations (0.5 mg/mL to 20 mg/mL). The formulations were analyzed by the larval packet test (modified) in the case of larvae and non-engorged nymphs, with evaluation of mortality after 24 hours; and by the immersion test for larvae and engorged nymphs, with evaluation of mortality after 15 days. The control group was exposed to the base formulations without thymol. There were ten repetitions of each treatment. In the tests with the emulsion, the best average mortality rate was 94.2%, with the concentration of 0.75 mg/mL for non-engorged larvae. In the case of the engorged larvae, the best average mortality was 95.0% at the concentration of 5.0 mg/mL. The average mortality of the non-engorged nymphs treated with the emulsion containing 2.5 mg/mL was 83.3% and in the test with engorged nymphs, the mean mortality was 86.0% for the concentration of 5.0 mg/mL. In the tests with the hydroalcoholic solution, the highest average mortality among the non-engorged larvae was 88.1% for the concentration of 2.5 mg/mL. In turn, for the engorged larvae, the highest mortality was 25.0%, at the concentration of 20 mg/mL, while the test with non-engorged nymphs produced a mortality rate of 91.0% at the concentration of 1.0 mg/mL and in the test with engorged nymphs the maximum mortality was 18.3% with a concentration of 20 mg/mL. Besides the tests with the ticks, preliminary stability tests were carried out to verify possible problems with the formulations. The hydroalcoholic solution remained stable under all the conditions analyzed, at concentrations of 2.5 and 5.0 mg/ml, while the O/W emulsion showed signs of early instability at the concentration of 5.0 mg/ml but not at the concentration of 2.5 mg/ml. The results obtained indicate that the acaricidal activity of thymol, when included in the proposed formulations, was enhanced against non-engorged larvae with topical treatment in comparison with data in the literature. Although there were variations in toxicity between the different stages and forms (engorged and non-engorged), these formulations are promising for future therapeutic use.

Orientador: Maria Izabel Souza CamargoResumo: O presente trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar o efeito tóxico e terapêutico do extrato da glândula salivar (EGS) de fêmeas de carrapatos Rhipicephalus sanguineus senso lato (Acari: Ixodidae), alimentadas por 2 dias em hospedeiros, em diferentes concentrações, por meio de injeções intraperitoneais em ratas Wistar. Os resultados clínicos mostraram que na concentração de 10 μg/μL houve aumento da frequência de neutrófilos e diminuição da de linfócitos. Na análise histológica do fígado, observou-se que o extrato nessa concentração causou alguns efeitos tóxicos como vacuolização citoplasmática nos hepatócitos e desorganização estrutural dos cordões celulares. Nas concentrações de 40 e 80 μg/μL, as ratas ganharam peso corporal e tiveram o peso relativo do fígado diminuído, evidenciandoo que essas concentrações causaram toxicidade sistêmica. Nesse trabalho foi também analisado o efeito do EGS apenas na concentração de 0,04μg/μL, sobre lesões pré-neoplásicas (LPN) no fígado de ratos Wistar e observou-se aumento no peso relativo apenas do fígado nos animais dos grupos LPN e LPN+EGS quando comparados ao controle. A histologia mostrou que os animais LPN, antes da injeção do extrato, foram os que tiveram o tecido hepático com maiores danos (desorganização dos cordões, aumento de tecido conjuntivo, vacuolização citoplasmática, células apoptóticas e aumento na frequência de células de Kupffer, células de defesa deste órgão) os quais foram reduzidos quando os ratos receberam o EGS.

Abstract: This study aimed to evaluate the toxic and pharmacological effect of salivary gland extract (SGE) of female ticks Rhipicephalus sanguineus in different concentrations through intraperitoneal injections in Wistar rats. Clinical results showed that at the concentration of 10 μg/μL there was an increase in neutrophil frequency and a decrease in lymphocytes. It was also observed that in the liver histological analysis, the extract at this concentration caused some toxic effects: cytoplasmic vacuolization in the hepatocytes and structural disorganization in the cellular cords. At concentrations of 40 and 80 μg/μL, rats body weight increased, and relative liver weight decreased, showing that these concentrations caused systemic toxicity. In this study, was analysed the effect of SGE in the concentration of 0.04 μg/μL on the pre-neoplasic lesions (PNL) in the liver of Wistar rats, and there was an increase in the relative weight of the liver in the groups PNL and PNL + SGE. The histology showed that the PNL animals had the hepatic tissue with the biggest damage (cord disorganization, increase of connective tissue, cytoplasmic vacuolization, apoptotic cells and increased Kupffer cell quantity, indicating immune response), those alterations were reduced when the mice received the SGE as treatment. In the study about the in vitro evaluation of the acaricides effect of thymol and carvacrol on RML-15 cells from R. sanguineus s.l. ticks were carried out. Thymol at all tested concentration...

Full textAbstract:
Examination of ticks collected from ehrlichiosis positive dogs revealed the occurrence of Rhipicephalus sanguineus. The distribution of ehrlichiosis in dogs is related to the spreading of vectors. Ehrlichia canis is the etiologic agent of canine monocytic ehrlichiosis (CME) and recognized as the most prevalent tick-borne disease affecting dogs and is transmitted by the brown dog tick Rhipicephalus sanguineus with an expanding global distribution. Infection of the vertebrate host occurred when an infected tick ingested a blood meal which in turn contaminated the feeding site with its salivary secretion. Blood transfusions from infected donors can also transmit the organisms. Hence, identification of ticks is necessary to detect the disease affecting dogs.

Full textAbstract:
East coast fever, a disease of cattle caused by the protozoan parasite Theileria parva and transmitted by the three-host tick Rhipicephalus appendiculatus (the brown ear tick), is a major constraint to cattle production in Eastern, Central, and Southern Africa. In Kenya it is the most important tick-borne disease and a major constraint in cattle productivity. This is due to the high morbidity and mortality it causes in susceptible herds, the cost of control of the vector ticks, and the cost of treatment of clinical cases. Animals that recover from the disease also suffer from reduced productivity which can be long term. The limited distribution of the tick and the disease to only East, Central and Southern Africa also means that the market for therapeutic drugs and acaricides is small. Therefore, drug companies are not keen on funding research and development of new drug and acaricide molecules when resistance occurs.
