Boophilus Microplus Ticks

<p>En Colombia, la presencia de la garrapata Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus ha sido registrada en altitudes que oscilan entre 0 y 2.600 metros sobre el nivel del mar (msnm). Actualmente, no existen reportes de distribución de esta especie en el Altiplano cundiboyacense, zona geográfica de importancia nacional en la producción de leche. Para el presente trabajo se buscaron especímenes de cada uno de los estadios de la garrapata en bovinos y en potreros de 108 predios situados entre los 2.000 y 3.000 msnm, en las diferentes zonas del Altiplano cundiboyacense. Se colectaron 851 garrapatas, en total, de la especie R. (B.) microplus (100% de las muestras) en 34 predios ubicados entre los 1.966 y 2.903 msnm Este es el primer estudio en Colombia que registra la presencia de esta garrapata a una altitud superior a los 2.600 msnm y que caracteriza su distribución en el Altiplano cundiboyacense. Los resultados obtenidos demuestran la existencia de esta especie, ectoparásito de bovinos y vector de hemoparásitos, en zonas geográficas donde hasta hace algunos años no se registraba su presencia. Lo anterior plantea un panorama de riesgo para la presentación de babesiosis y anaplasmosis bovina en poblaciones altamente susceptibles. Estudios posteriores deberán definir la bioecología de esta garrapata en esta región y la prevalencia de infección en bovinos de los patógenos asociados.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Distribution of Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus Ticks on Cattle and Farms from Altiplano Cundiboyacense (Colombia)</strong></p><p>In Colombia, the presence of Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus ticks has been registered in altitudes ranging from zero to 2,600 meters above the sea level. Currently, there are no reports of its distribution in the Altiplano Cundiboyacense, an important dairy region of Colombia. In the present work, ticks of each stage were searched on cattle and pastures from 108 farms ranging from 2,000 to 3,000 meters of altitude. A total of 851 specimens of R. (B.) microplus (100% of total) were collected from 34 farms located between 1,966 and 2,903 meters of altitude. This is the first report in Colombia on the presence of this tick in altitudes higher than 2,600 meters and on its distribution in the Altiplano Cundiboyacense. These results confirm the existence of this tick as an ectoparasite of cattle, vector of haemoparasites, in areas where it was no previously reported, and they present a potential risk of transmission of these pathogens in highly susceptible bovine populations. Future research must define the bioecology and population dynamics of this tick in that region and the prevalence of cattle infected with tick-borne pathogens.</p>

Boophilus Microplus Ticks

The development of a resistance by cattle to artificial infestations with Boophilus microplus ticks is reported and the sequence of development discussed. There was a regression of adult female ticks becoming replete with infestation (regression y = 2399.41 – 574x ± 54) up to the fourth infestation. The weight of replete female ticks dropped from resistant cattle increased with infestation but this effect is confounded with the effects of climate. The day of modal drop of replete females increased with infestation, which indicated an effect of resistance on modal drop. Egg-laying was not affected by a developing resistance, but the fertility of eggs from female egg-laying ticks was. There was an increase in fertility of eggs laid after the second infestation.

New Strategies

The cattle tick Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus is one of the most harmful ectoparasites affecting bovines worldwide. It represents a major threat to livestock industry due to the economic losses caused and diseases associated with these ticks. The most important tick control strategy has been the use of ixodicides, resulting in chemically resistant tick populations. It is necessary to understand the mechanisms that result in resistance so as to create new strategies increasing the lifespan of ixodicides or finding alternative targets to produce new acaricides. In this paper, in order to obtain an insight into the mechanisms that govern ixodicides resistance, we will compare the hemolymph proteome of two tick R. microplus strains, one susceptible (MJ) and one resistant (SA) to ixodicides, using HPLC and 2D electrophoresis. Significant differences were found in protein content between strains using HPLC. 2D electrophoresis revealed that 68 hemolymph protein spots were common between strains; however, 26 spots were unique to the susceptible strain MJ and 5 to the resistant strain SA. The most distinctive protein spots on the preparative gels were selected for further analyses. Nine protein spots were identified by mass fingerprinting, 
revealing proteins that may have a role in the ixodicides resistance or susceptibility. In this paper, we present the tick hemolymph proteome revealing a set of proteins which suggest a possible role in tick detoxification.
