Download or read book Challenges for the Control of Poultry Red Mite Dermanyssus Gallinae written by José De La Fuente and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Poultry Red Mite, Dermanyssus gallinae, is an ectoparasite which is considered the major pest for the egg-laying industry. The mite hides in crevices and cracks during daylight and feed on the blood of the hens in the darkness. It can also parasitize other bird and mammal species, including man that can develop gamasoidosis when bitten at work or private residences. The control of the mite infestations has relied in synthetic acaricides, but the development of resistances and the restricted list of authorized products make fundamental the development of novel control measure. The combination of alternative control measures, such as monitoring of the mite infestation, plant-derived products, inner dusts, biological control and vaccines, poses as the best way for achieving satisfactory results.

Download or read book Trends in Acarology written by Maurice W. Sabelis and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-11-16 with total page 511 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mites and ticks are everywhere and acarologists go after them – some explore their bewildering diversity, others try to understand their how and why. For the past 50 years, the International Congress of Acarology has been the forum for worldwide communication on the knowledge of Acari, helping researchers and students to look beyond their disciplines. Many mites and ticks are economic factors as they are pests of agricultural, veterinary and medical importance, and several species have become model organisms in modern biology. The 96 contributions to Trends in Acarology – reflecting fields as molecular biology, biochemistry, physiology, microbiology, pathology, ecology, evolutionary biology, systematic biology, soil biology, plant protection, pest control and epidemiology – have been reviewed and carefully edited. This volume contains a wealth of new information, that may stimulate research for many years to come.

This book was released on 2020-06-17 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of both unicellular and multicellular living beings and the diseases they produce from a biological point of view requires constant review of their relationship with their host and environment, given their indisputable sanitary importance. In this sense, in parasitology and microbiology, updated and concise information on life cycle, taxonomic classification, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, treatment, epidemiological behavior, and control measures is of vital importance. This is what we pursue with this book. The approach to parasitology and microbiology and the research that is carried out on it is unquestionable because the associations between life forms have been present from the very beginning of life.Research in parasitology and microbiology is necessary and indispensable for controlling diseases that affect much of the world with serious economic and social consequences. The challenge is to promote research to keep these diseases at bay. This book shows what has been done up to now and what can be done in the future to combat infectious diseases.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The poultry red mite Dermanyssus gallinae (De Geer) is a blood feeding ectoparasite that infests many bird species. Economically it is the most important parasite affecting egg-laying hens. The aim of this study was to identify vaccine candidate proteins from D. gallinae using a number of approaches. An immunisation trial was conducted using four protein fractions derived from D. gallinae. The fractions were injected into hens and immunoglobulin Y was purified from the yolk of eggs laid by the hens. An in vitro feeding assay in which mites were fed these antibodies showed a significant increase (p = 0.013) in mortality of mites fed with antibodies against a PBS-soluble fraction of D. gallinae. The PBS-soluble proteins were then fractionated by anion exchange chromatography into three fractions, which were then used to immunise hens. One fraction produced antibodies that caused the greatest percentage mortality of mites, based on the results from a single feeding assay. To identify further potential vaccine antigens, three expressed sequence tag (EST) databases were produced. A complementary DNA (cDNA) library was prepared from a mixed gender and life stage population and 46 contigs were identified with significant homology to proteins from other organisms. A second database was generated using a suppression subtractive hybridisation approach and 133 "fed mite enriched" contigs identified with significant homology to proteins in either the NCBI non-redundant (nr) protein, KEGG databases or had a domain predicted by InterProScan. The most abundant proteins in this database were vitellogenin and GP80, a precursor molecule of vitellogenin. Roche 454 sequencing technology was used to generate an EST database of 13,363 contigs, of which 26 % had significant homology to a protein in the NCBI nr protein database. The majority of contigs (45 %) were classified as Cellular Processes and Signalling proteins. Illumina Solexa sequencing technology was also used to analyse the expression levels of genes in fed and starved mites. A total of 66 contigs were obtained with a significant and greater than three-fold change in expression level between the two groups. The contig with the largest fold change was homologous to vitellogenin (fold change 110). Paramyosin and tropomyosin have been used successfully to immunise hosts against other parasitic species. Tropomyosin had previously been characterised in D. gallinae. In this study paramyosin was characterised and recombinant versions of both proteins were used in an immunisation trial. Anti-tropomyosin (p
Download or read book Public Health Significance of Urban Pests written by Xavier Bonnefoy and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2008 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second half of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century witnessed important changes in ecology, climate and human behaviour that favoured the development of urban pests. Most alarmingly, urban planners now face the dramatic expansion of urban sprawl, in which city suburbs are growing into the natural habitats of ticks, rodents and other pests. Also, many city managers now erroneously assume that pest-borne diseases are relics of the past. All these changes make timely a new analysis of the direct and indirect effects of present-day urban pests on health. Such an analysis should lead to the development of strategies to manage them and reduce the risk of exposure. To this end, WHO invited international experts in various fields - pests, pest-related diseases and pest management - to provide evidence on which to base policies. These experts identified the public health risk posed by various pests and appropriate measures to prevent and control them. This book presents their conclusions and formulates policy options for all levels of decision-making to manage pests and pest-related diseases in the future. [Ed.]
