1. A prevalent alpha-proteobacterium Paracoccus sp. in a population of the Cayenne ticks (Amblyomma cajennense) from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
As Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever is the most common tick-borne disease in South America, the presence of Rickettsia sp. in Amblyomma ticks is a possible indication of its endemicity in certain geographic regions. In the present work, bacterial DNA sequences related to Rickettsia amblyommii genes in A. dubitatum ticks, collected in the Brazilian state of Mato

2. Endocrinologia e controle da vitelogênese em carrapatos = Endocrinology and control of tick vitellogenesis / Endocrinology and control of tick vitellogenesis
Background: Ticks are distributed worldwide, with impacts on human and animal health. The cattle tick Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus is the main parasite that affects livestock in tropical and subtropical regions of the world, causing large economical losses. Tick control methods are based on the application of chemical acaricides, which has resulted in

4. Localization and function of Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus vitellin-degrading cysteine endopeptidase
The tick Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus is an important parasite of cattle in many areas of the tropics. Characterization of molecules involved in mechanisms such as vitellogenesis and embryo development may contribute to a better understanding of this parasite’s physiology. The vitellin-degrading cysteine endopeptidase (VTDCE) is the most active enzy

5. Caracterização de resposta a estresse oxidativo e mecanismos de morte celular em Boophilus microplus
O carrapato bovino Boophilus microplus está presente em áreas tropicais e subtropicais no mundo e é um ectoparasito hematófago que causa inúmeras perdas à bovinocultura, através da espoliação ao bovino ou das doenças que transmite como vetor. Atualmente, o principal método de controle empregado baseia-se em produtos químicos, que são onerosos e
