“…The fight against various ectoparasites, including ixodes ticks, is the subject of a relatively small number of publications, most of which are published in Europe and North America. In 50-80 years, the main tactic for controlling ixodes infestations was the use of conventional synthetic acaricides [1,2].…”

Вісник проблем біології і медицини -2024 -Вип. 1 (172) / Bulletin of problems in biology and medicine -2024 -Issue 1 (172)106 БІОЛОГІЯ / BIOLOGY study of the role of lymphoid clusters associated with FALC (fat-associated lymphoid clusters) in the processes of adhesion formation remains actual. The novelty of the work consists in the study of the characteristics of the distribution and number of lymphocytes in the mesentery of the small intestine in adhesion disease in comparison with the norm in rats. The aim: to study the features of the morphofunctional state of peritoneal tissues and lymphoid clusters associated with adipose tissue (FALC) in normal rats and with adhesion disease. Materials and methods: preparation, macroscopic, microscopic, histological (production of film preparations), staining with hematoxylin and eosin, mathematical (morphometric grid -the number of immunocompetent cells was counted on a standard area of 1000 μm2), planimetric (the mesenteric plane of the small intestine and the area that was changed by spike processes), statistical according to Student. Conclusions. Lymphoid clusters associated with FALC adipose tissue, represented by diffusely located lymphocytes of small, medium and large diameter and plasma cells, are observed in the mesentery of the small intestine. The experimental form of adhesion disease was characterized by gradual changes in the tissues of the mesentery of the small intestine and the formation of adhesions, which were noted on the 7th day of observation by a decrease in the mobility and gelatinization of the tissue; thickening and density of the connective tissue of the mesentery of the small intestine on the 14th day; the appearance of granular formations with hard conglomerates of heterogeneous structure in the tissue on the 21st day of observation. Adhesion formation was accompanied by dynamic changes in the structure of lymphoid tissue. There is an accumulation of lymphocytes in some areas of the mesentery on the 7th day of the study. The number of lymphocytes per standard unit of area also changes: on the 14th day, the indicator increases by 44%, on the 21st day by 47% compared to the 7th day of observation.

“…Application of conventional synthetic acaricides has been the main tactic for controlling ixodid infestations [ 16 , 17 ]. A method from the 1950s to the 1980s involved area-wide broadcast applications using sprayers and dispersion of toxicant-augmented granule formulations for reducing A. americanum and I. scapularis infestations [ 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 ]. Those formulations, often highly volatile, varied in terms of frequency of usage, seasonality, and efficacy (from 64% to 100%) [ 20 , 21 ].…”

Ixodids (hard ticks), ectoparasitic arthropods that vector the causal agents of many serious diseases of humans, domestic animals, and wildlife, have become increasingly difficult to control because of the development of resistance against commonly applied synthetic chemical-based acaricides. Resistance has prompted searches for alternative, nonconventional control tactics that can be used as part of integrated ixodid management strategies and for mitigating resistance to conventional acaricides. The quest for alternative control tactics has involved research on various techniques, each influenced by many factors, that have achieved different degrees of success. Alternative approaches include cultural practices, ingested and injected medications, biological control, animal- and plant-based substances, growth regulators, and inert desiccant dusts. Research on biological control of ixodids has mainly focused on predators, parasitoid wasps, infective nematodes, and pathogenic bacteria and fungi. Studies on animal-based substances have been relatively limited, but research on botanicals has been extensive, including whole plant, extract, and essential oil effects on ixodid mortality, behavior, and reproduction. The inert dusts kaolin, silica gel, perlite, and diatomaceous earth are lethal to ixodids, and they are impervious to environmental degradation, unlike chemical-based toxins, remaining effective until physically removed.
