A method for semi-field rearing of Varroa destructor (Acari: Varroidae) to obtain mites of controlled age and specific life cycle
(Les Amis d'Acarologia, 2023-03)Varroa destructor is one of the most devastating ectoparasites of the honey bee, Apis mellifera, worldwide. Given that V. destructor has very low survivability and exhibits no successful reproduction away from their natural ... -
A new model formulation for host depletion in parasitoids
(Elsevier, 2023-01)A new model of host depletion in the functional response of parasitoids is presented. Most existing models describe the dynamics of prey consumption as a sequential-memoryless/Markovian process of searching for, handling, ... -
Amblyomma parvitarsum (Acari: Ixodidae): localities, hosts and host-parasite ecology
(2014-01)Only a few aspects of the biology of Amblyomma parvitarsum Neumann are known. Adults of this hard tick species are parasites of South American camelids in the Andean plateau of Argentina, Bolivia, Peru and Chile and also ... -
A community approach to the Neotropical ticks-hosts interactions
(Springer Nature, 2020-06-09)The relationships between ticks and hosts are relevant to capture the ecological background driving the evolution of these parasites. We used a set of 4,764 records of ticks of the genera Amblyomma, Ixodes, and Haemaphysalis ... -
Comparative analysis of the midgut microbiota of two natural tick vectors of Rickettsia rickettsii
(Elsevier, 2020-05)Although the ticks Amblyomma sculptum and Amblyomma aureolatum are important vectors of Rickettsia rickettsii, causative agent of the life-threatening Rocky Mountain spotted fever, A. aureolatum is considerably more ... -
Dermacentor nitens Neumann, 1897: Ampliación de su distribución al Nordeste de Argentina
(Facultad de Ciencias Veterinarias, Universidad Nacional del Nordeste, 2024-05)Dermacentor nitens es una garrapata Neotropical con reportes desde el norte de Argentina (provincias de Salta y Jujuy), hasta el sur de México, sin registros en Chile y Uruguay. Tiene como principal hospedador a equinos, ... -
Ecología y fisiología del comportamiento de búsqueda y explotación de huéspedes por el parasitoide Ibalia leucospoides Hochenwarth (Hymenoptera: Ibaliidae)
(Facultad de Ciencias Exactas y Naturales, Universidad de Buenos Aires, 2005)El presente trabajo de Tesis estudia diversos aspectos del comportamiento individual de Ibalia leucospoides, parasitoide de Sirex noctilio, una de las plagas de coníferas más importante del país. En particular analiza los ... -
Ecology of the interaction between Ixodes loricatus (Acari: Ixodidae) and Akodon azarae (Rodentia: Criceridae)
(2015-10)The present study explores associations of different factors (i.e. host parameters, presence of other ectoparasites and [mainly biotic] environmental factors) with burdens of Ixodes loricatus immature stages in one of its ... -
Embryogenesis and apoptosis appears as key molecular pathways involved in Varroa destructor reproduction
(Springer, 2023-10)In this study, we identified candidate genes associated with the reproductive success of Varroa destructor in Apis mellifera brood cells at a key point in time, the 4th day after host cell capping. First-life cycle reproducing ... -
Factors affecting patterns of Amblyomma triste (Acari: Ixodidae) parasitism in a rodent host
(2015-07-30)Here we offer a multivariable analysis that explores associations of different factors (i.e., environmental, host parameters, presence of other ectoparasites) with the interaction of Amblyomma triste immature stages and ... -
Food and Host Searching Decisions Made by Ibalia leucospoides (Hymenoptera: Ibaliidae), a Parasitoid of Sirex noctilio (Hymenoptera:Siricidae)
(2012-07)During their adult life, parasitoids—insects that lay eggs in or on other arthropods eventually killing them- spend a significant proportion of their lifetime searching for hosts, this behavior will determine their future ... -
Las garrapatas de Uruguay : especies, hospedadores, distribución e importancia sanitaria
(Sociedad de Medicina Veterinaria del Uruguay, 2003-06)Se presenta una actualización de las especies de garrapatas de Uruguay. La lista comprende 31 especies que se clasificaron en las siguientes categorías: residentes (15 especies); probablemente residentes (3 especies); ... -
Host Interaction and Population Dynamics of Ceratitis capitata in Agroecological Systems: Level Infestation in Key Hosts in Irrigation Oasis of San Juan, Argentina
(MedWin Publishers, 2024-12-11)This study focuses on the infestation and abundance of Ceratitis capitata (the Mediterranean fruit fly) in various host fruit species in San Juan, Argentina, where agriculture plays a key role in the local economy. The aim ... -
Host selection, oviposition behaviour and leaf traits in a specialist willow sawfly on species of Salix (Salicaceae)
(Wiley, 2013-12)Plant genotype influences plant–herbivore interactions by affecting insect attraction, acceptance and development. Here we linked oviposition behaviour of the specialist willow sawfly Nematus oligospilus Förster (Hymenoptera: ... -
Host-parasite association between Didelphis albiventris (Didelphimorphia: Didelphidae) and Ixodes loricatus (Acari: Ixodidae) in their southern ranges
(2018-05)The parasitism of Ixodes loricatus Neumann on white-eared opposum, Didelphis albiventris Lund, was analysed in the southern ranges of both. In central Argentina, 118 wild opossums were captured from 2005 to 2012. Adults ... -
Host-related volatile cues used by a parasitoid wasp during foraging for its woodboring host
(Wiley, 2018-12)Parasitoids relymainly on infochemicals to search for their herbivore hosts to oviposit on. Megarhyssa nortoni (Cresson) (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) is a parasitoid of siricid wasp larvae which are concealed inside tree ... -
