| changes in cattle tick control practices in south eastern queensland from 1977 to 1982. | results of a survey of cattle producers in south eastern queensland in 1982 concerning cattle tick control have been compared with those of a similar survey carried out in 1977-78. during the interval between these surveys the proportion of beef farms with tick resistant (bos indicus infusion) cattle as the main breed had increased from 47.8% to 60.0%. chemical control methods had improved but many producers were continuing to treat their cattle more often than necessary. over the period there w ... | 1985 | 4051912 |
| synthetic pyrethroid resistance in field samples in the cattle tick (boophilus microplus). | first evidence of resistance to synthetic pyrethroids in the cattle tick in australia, other than the pre-existing cross-resistance in ddt-resistant ticks, has emerged. three new strains have been investigated and characterised. the first, detected in central queensland, showed increased ability to detoxify pyrethroids resulting in a marginal loss of efficacy of all pyrethroid tickicides tested, except flumethrin. subsequently two more strains have been detected, with serious implications for ch ... | 1989 | 2775054 |
| epidemiology and control of anaplasmosis in australia. | anaplasmosis occurs in those areas of northern and eastern australia infested by the cattle tick boophilus microplus but it has been studied intensively only in queensland. anaplasmosis is predominantly a disease of autumn and winter and of cattle greater than 1 year of age. the complement fixation test has been used in serological surveys of the tick-infested areas of the state. both clinical and subclinical infections occur only in tick-infested areas and they are both more frequent in bos tau ... | 1979 | 553977 |

| a survey for resistance in cattle ticks to acaricides. | a survey was made from late 1976 to late 1977 to determine the extent of resistance to acaricides in the cattle tick boophilus microplus in queensland. questionnaires and requests for samples of ticks were forwarded to more than 900 randomly selected stock owners in the tick infested area which had been divided into 4 regions. far north, coastal north, coastal cental and south east. the response measured by the number of tick samples tested was 43%. the prevalence of resistance to organophosphor ... | 1981 | 7342942 |

| a survey concerning cattle tick control in queensland. 3. chemical control. | survey results concerning chemical control of the cattle tick (boophilus microplus) in queensland are reported in detail, and differences due to region, breed and type of enterprise are discussed. the results show that chemical control was more intensive in zebu and zebu crossbred cattle than could be justified economically and that a minority of producers with european cattle carried out strategic dipping. owners of plunge dips did not make regular use of testing facilities, available from the ... | 1980 | 7436924 |
| attitudes and practices of queensland dairy farmers to the control of the cattle tick, boophilus microplus. | to determine practices for the control of cattle ticks on dairy farms in queensland, the attitudes of farmers to tick infestations and to identify opportunities for and barriers against the introduction of non-chemical methods of tick control. | 1998 | 9862066 |
| a survey concerning cattle tick control in queensland. 4. use of resistant cattle and pasture spelling. | the results of a survey on tick control carried out in 1977-78 indicate that tick resistant cattle have been introduced for their heat and drought tolerance and their ability to grow more rapidly than european cattle, especially in the extensive grazing country of northern and central queensland. in south-eastern queensland acceptance of tick resistant cattle has been slower because producers believe they are more difficult to manage than european cattle. a need for more publicity to be given to ... | 1980 | 7436925 |
| the application of moxidectin formulations for control of the cattle tick (boophilus microplus) under queensland field conditions. | to assess the control of the cattle tick (boophilus microplus) and the performance of commercial cattle treated with the macrocylic lactone endectocide, moxidectin, formulated either as an injection or as a pour-on. | 1997 | 9293342 |
| a survey concerning cattle tick control in queensland. 2. managerial aspects which indirectly affect tick control. | this paper reports those findings concerning property management from the 1977-78 survey of tick control in queensland, which could effect efficient tick control and also presents a profile of the cattle industry in the tick infested areas at the time of the survey. the average property size was 400 hectares and the average number of cattle on the properties was 726.4. larger properties tended to have crossbred zebu cattle. the average number of paddocks per property was 7.2. the most popular st ... | 1980 | 7436923 |

| possible risk factors on queensland dairy farms for acaricide resistance in cattle tick (boophilus microplus). | a case control study was carried out within a cross-sectional survey designed to investigate the management by queensland dairy farmers of the cattle tick boophilus microplus. although 199 farmers were surveyed, data on acaricide resistance were only obtained from 66 farms. multiple models were used to predict the probability of acaricide resistance associated with 30 putative risk factors. the region of the state in which the farm was located and the frequency of acaricide application were cons ... | 2000 | 10681025 |
| evaluation of tickgard(plus), a novel vaccine against boophilus microplus, in lactating holstein-friesian cows. | the effects of vaccination with the bm 86 vaccine tickgard(plus) against infestation with cattle tick (boophilus microplus) and of holding cattle on a feedpad until 09:00 hours after the morning milking was tested on 40 mid lactation holstein cattle using a factorial design. vaccination resulted in a 56% reduction in tick numbers in the field over one generation, and a 72% reduction in laboratory measures of the reproductive efficiency of ticks. the liveweight gain of vaccinated cattle over 27 w ... | 2000 | 10714465 |
| the vulnerability of animal and human health to parasites under global change. | the term 'global change' is used to encompass all of the significant drivers of environmental change as experienced by hosts, parasites and parasite managers. the term includes changes in climate and climate variability, atmospheric composition, land use and land cover including deforestation and urbanisation, bio-geochemistry, globalisation of trade and transport, the spread of alien species, human health and technology. a subset of land use issues relates to the management of protective techno ... | 2001 | 11406142 |
| population structure of australian isolates of the cattle tick rhipicephalus (boophilus) microplus. | since its introduction in australia, and despite decades of movement control, the cattle tick, rhipicephalus (boophilus) microplus, has spread widely in suitable habitat in the northern territory and the state of queensland (qld). on the east coast, its southerly distribution is limited by a tick quarantine line on the border with the state of new south wales (nsw). resistance to the popular acaricide amitraz emerged in the early 1980s and its distribution is rapidly increasing at the present ti ... | 2009 | 19201542 |
