Boophilus microplus

Many non-volatile extracts have been studied for their effectiveness against Boophilus sp. Those obtained from legumes plants seem to be particularly promising. Cruz-Vazquez et al. evaluated the tropical species Stylosanthes humilis and S. hamata (Fabaceae) against the larvae of Boophilus microplus in plots experimentally infested [119]. They... 

The purification and characterization of BmSI-7 and BmSI-6, two subtilisin inhibitors from Boophilus microplus (BmSI) was reported by Sasaki et al. (2008). The inhibitors were found to exhibit significant inhibition on the activity of purified Prl proteases from M. anisopliae.

The formamidine acaricides and insecticides, chlordimeform and ami-traz, are lethal to all life stages of acarines, but their activity to insects is considerably more restricted (1). Using the southern cattle tick, Boophilus microplus, and the twospotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae, the structural requirements of formamidines for lethality have been elucidated ( -5), an< t ie structure (lethal moiety) for maximum activity is shown in Figure 1. Briefly, the ring must contain two substituents, and they must be located at positions two and four maximum activity was observed when position...

The acaricidal activity of Piquerols A and B against the common cattle ticks Boophilus microplus was also tested [59]. Both compounds induced 100% mortality at a concentration of 300 Xg/ml on larvae and gravid female ticks. TTieir activity was similar to that exhibited by commercial organophosphorus acaricides tested with the same protocol and at similar concentrations. However, piquerol A and B did not prevented ovoposition as the organophosphorus acaricides did [122]. 

Ixodidin, an antimicrobial 65-peptide from the hemocytes of the cattle tick Boophilus microplus, with inhibitory activity against serine proteases. The name is derived from the family Ixodidae. The 65-mer ixodidin contains five intrachenar disulfide bonds and an N-terminal pyroglutamic acid residue. In addition to growth inhibition of E.coli and Micrococcus luteus, it exerts inhibitory activity against elastase...
