Systemic alterations of bovine hemostasis due to Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus infestation

Expression of immune response genes in peripheral blood of cattle infested with Rhipicephalus microplus

“…However, due to increase acquired resistance to these products (Leite et al, 1995), chemical residues in meat and milk (Alvinerie et al, 1999), and high associated costs (Samish, 2000), alternative methods have been investigated to allow for more efficient control (Sonenshine et al, 2006). To develop these methods, it is first necessary to obtain knowledge regarding the host-parasite relationship (Reck et al, 2009).…”

Acaricidal properties of the essential oil and precocene II obtained from Calea serrata (Asteraceae) on the cattle tick Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus (Acari: Ixodidae)

“…It causes severe economic losses by blood loss, reduction in weight gain, direct damage to cattle skin by the tick bite, diminishing the value of skins and hides for the manufacture of leather, and also serving as a vector of infectious disease such as bovine babesiosis and anaplasmosis (Jongejan and Uilenberg, 2004;Castro-Janer et al, 2009;Reck et al, 2009).…”

Any use in proteomics for low-tech approaches? Detecting fibrinogen chains of different animal species in two-dimensional electrophoresis patterns

“…In veterinary clinical medicine, some of the topics recently investigated about fibrinogen in farm animals (cattle, horses, pigs, dogs, excluding for the latter two the use as models of human disease; source: PubMed database; period: 2004-09) include: changes related to estrous cycle, pregnancy and parturition [16][17][18][19], liver [20] and heart disease [21][22][23], elective and non-elective surgery [24,25], poisoning/envenomation [26][27][28][29][30], parasite infestation [31][32][33], viral infection [34,35]. The issue most often on focus is however, by far, bacterial infection -especially in respiratory diseases [34,[36][37][38][39][40][41] -and such of its short-or long-term sequelae as septic shock with coagulopathy [42][43][44][45], laminitis [46], or osteomyelitis [47].…”
