| investigation into the participation of male pheromones of rhipicephalus evertsi evertsi during infestation. | it was shown in this study that rhipicephalus evertsi evertsi males emit pheromones in the preparasitic as well as in the parasitic phases. conspecific unengorged male and female images exhibited a high response to water-soluble volatiles collected from unengorged males. a vigorous assembly of unfed female r. evertsi evertsi occurred on filter paper discs which had been in contact with either unfed or 5- and 9-day fed males. progressively increasing percentages of conspecific unengorged males re ... | 1985 | 4047618 |
| investigations into the paralysis-inducing ability of rhipicephalus evertsi mimeticus and that of hybrids between this subspecies and rhipicephalus evertsi evertsi. | studies performed on sheep showed that rhipicephalus evertsi mimeticus is a paralysis-competent tick species whose toxicity is either the same as, or only slightly less than that of r.e. evertsi. it was also proved that the paresis or paralysis induced by the mimeticus females is characterized by a constant incubation period which is independent of the tick infestation rate and body mass of the host, and consequently of its age. this period is entirely determined by the state of repletion of the ... | 1986 | 3960488 |
| studies on the ability of different strains or populations of female rhipicephalus evertsi evertsi (acarina:ixodidae) to produce paralysis in sheep. | simultaneous infestation of 3-6 month-old black-head sheep with 15 south african wild strains of rhipicephalus evertsi evertsi males and females as well as a strain from rwanda clearly showed that all strains are capable of inducing paralysis. assessment of the infestation-rate of engorging female ticks during the period that their mass ranged between 15 and 21 mg/kg sheep body mass indicated that toxicity is quantitatively identical and exhibits no intraspecific gradations. the period between t ... | 1986 | 3960487 |
| isolation of a neurotoxin from the salivary glands of female rhipicephalus evertsi evertsi. | a quantitative study of the changes in the protein pattern of the salivary glands of female rhipicephalus evertsi evertsi during the entire repletion process was undertaken. these results, in conjunction with the previously determined toxic phase, indicated the presence of a toxic protein. the development of a sensitive in vitro assay using a xenopus nerve-muscle preparation, made it possible to identify toxic phases during feeding and to assay fractions of salivary gland extracts during toxin i ... | 1986 | 3819963 |
| immunological responses and the role of the paralyzing toxin in rabbits infested with rhipicephalus evertsi evertsi. | twenty-nine rabbits were exposed to 4 infestations with 20, 50, and 100 adult red-legged ticks (rhipicephalus evertsi evertsi). upon challenge, 16 rabbits (55%) contracted paralysis, and 14 of these (88%) died. most deaths occurred in rabbits challenged with 100 ticks. immunity to paralysis and subsequent resistance to tick feeding developed in the hosts that survived the initial challenge. antibody titers to a salivary gland antigen increased progressively as determined by the following tests: ... | 1986 | 3789273 |
| investigations into the function and chemical compositions of the porose areas secretion of rhipicephalus evertsi evertsi during oviposition. | major differences were observed in hexane, ethanol and butanol extracts of eggs obtained from rhipicephalus evertsi evertsi females in which the porose areas functioned normally (ap+ eggs) and from r. evertsi evertsi in which the porose areas were selectively destroyed by electrocautery (ap- eggs). mass yields and uv spectra of the hexane extracts were similar for ap+ and ap- eggs. the uv spectra changed only slightly in the 294-320 nm range with respect to time and temperature. high performance ... | 1986 | 3763167 |

| acquired resistance in rabbits to immature stages of rhipicephalus evertsi evertsi. | host resistance, accompanied by demonstrable anti-tick antibodies, developed in groups of rabbits that were infested repeatedly with different numbers of rhipicephalus evertsi evertsi larvae. this resistance was associated with a drastic reduction in the number of ticks that attached but not in the ability to feed and moult by immatures already established on the hosts. furthermore, resistance reduced to below 50% the proportion of nymphs which emerged from the larvae applied to the three host g ... | 1988 | 3195049 |
| changes in the concentration of globulins in naive guinea pigs during feeding by the immature stages of rhipicephalus evertsi evertsi (acari: ixodidae). | the weight of rhipicephalus evertsi evertsi neumann nymphs, which as larvae and nymphs completed the entire blood meal on the same individual guinea pig, was significantly lower than the weight of those that as larvae and nymphs fed on two separate naive hosts. nymphs of the latter category spent 1 wk (from unfed larvae to unfed nymphs) on one animal before their transfer to the second host to complete the blood meal. the albumin concentration of the host blood decreased and was related to the t ... | 1989 | 2769702 |
| resistance to rhipicephalus evertsi evertsi in immunosuppressed rabbits. | rabbits treated with goat anti-rabbit thymocyte serum acquired less resistance to rhipicephalus evertsi evertsi infestation than untreated controls. this inferior resistance was manifested as higher engorged weights of ticks and higher biotic potential, undue persistence of the ticks on the hosts and poor anti-tick antibody and delayed-type hypersensitivity responses. these observations highlight the significance of host t-cells in mediating resistance to ticks. | 1989 | 2672558 |

| resistance and cross-resistance in guinea-pigs and rabbits to immature stages of ixodid ticks. | infestation of guinea-pigs and rabbits with larvae of any one of five species of ticks, rhipicephalus appendiculatus neumann, rhipicephalus evertsi evertsi neumann, amblyomma hebrauem koch, amblyomma variegatum fabricius and ixodes ricinus l., conferred resistance in the animals when exposed to subsequent infestations with the same tick species. resistance to infestations by other tick species was not observed. | 1989 | 2519683 |
| expression of acquired immunity to immature stages of the tick rhipicephalus evertsi evertsi by rabbits and guinea-pigs. | acquired immunity in guinea-pigs and rabbits to immature stages of the two-host tick rhipicephalus evertsi evertsi neumann was demonstrated. repeated infestations of both hosts with larvae resulted in a significant reduction in the weight of later engorged nymphs. a sharp decline in the numbers of nymphs which successfully fed on both hosts was also observed. this study provides evidence for a gradual decrease in the mean weight of engorged nymphs towards the end of the detachment period suggest ... | 1989 | 2519645 |
| resistance of brahman and hereford cattle to african ticks with reference to serum gamma globulin levels and blood composition. | field collections of ticks from two breeds of cattle showed that the common species of ticks were amblyomma hebraeum, rhipicephalus appendiculatus and rhipicephalus evertsi evertsi. the density of these species was higher on hereford than on brahman cattle. the results also indicated that the density of immature stages of the above-mentioned ticks is higher on hereford than on brahman cattle. a positive correlation was found between the number of ticks on the cattle and the serum gamma globulin ... | 1987 | 2456184 |
| the effects of non-specifically activated immunity in rabbits on primary infestation with rhipicephalus evertsi evertsi. | the secondary antibody response to sheep red blood cells and bovine serum albumin (bsa) was measured in rabbits infested with adult rhipicephalus evertsi evertsi. the response was reduced (particularly for bsa) but still displayed anamnestic characteristics. resistance against ixodid ticks associated with antibodies detected by gel diffusion and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay techniques early in the primary challenge was acquired by the immunized hosts only. this suggests that a non-specifica ... | 1990 | 2345953 |
| the interaction between the immune response of rabbits to heterologous antigens and a primary infestation with rhipicephalus evertsi evertsi. | rhipicephalus evertsi evertsi feeding on hosts inoculated with sheep red blood cells (srbc) and bovine serum albumin (bsa) suppressed the primary antibody response to the two antigens. in addition, while the ticks paralysed most hosts in the studies, fatality associated with this toxicosis occurred only in rabbits which had received srbc, either alone or with bsa. only those hosts inoculated with bsa developed any resistance against the ticks, manifested by a slight reduction of engorged weights ... | 1990 | 2345952 |
| resistance of brahman and simmentaler cattle to southern african ticks. | field collections of ticks from two breeds of cattle in the north western transvaal showed the common tick species to be rhipicephalus appendiculatus, amblyomma hebraeum, rhipicephalus evertsi evertsi and hyalomma marginatum rufipes. the number of these ticks was higher on simmentaler than on brahman cattle. correlation was found between the number of ticks on the cattle and their serum gamma globulin levels indicating an increase in the production of antibodies. similar correlation was also fou ... | 1990 | 2339000 |
| the isolation and transmission of an unidentified babesia sp. to cattle by hyalomma truncatum koch 1844. | an unidentified babesia sp. which causes a mild disease in cattle was isolated in a splenectomized ox that received pooled blood from field cattle. that this organism is pleomorphic and resembles babesia occultans makes it difficult to differentiate between these organisms microscopically. initially, it was suspected that this babesia could be b. occultans. several attempts to transmit this parasite transovarially with hyalomma marginatum rufipes, the vector of b. occultans, failed. continued ef ... | 1990 | 2293131 |
| efficacy of ivermectin delivered from an intraruminal sustained-release bolus against natural infestations of five african tick species on cattle. | the efficacy of ivermectin delivered by an orally administered prototype sustained-release bolus over approximately 90 days was evaluated against natural infestations of five african tick species. twenty cattle, allocated by restricted randomization based on counts of standard boophilus decoloratus, were allocated to two groups and were either given an ivermectin bolus or designated as non-medicated controls. all cattle grazed a single pasture of native grasses for 20-40 days before treatment an ... | 1990 | 2267728 |
| seasonal abundance of ticks associated with indigenous goats on a northern transvaal farm. | the 3 most abundant tick species on indigenous goats on a northern transvaal farm were found to be rhipicephalus evertsi evertsi, rhipicephalus appendiculatus and amblyomma hebraeum. three other tick species were present in small numbers. the economical and ecological importance of the ticks found on the goats, mainly in rural areas where chemical control of ticks is practically non-existant, is discussed. the high number of goats in the study area and the shift towards alternative methods of ti ... | 1991 | 2051439 |
