High impact information on Tick Paralysis

Temperature-dependent inhibition of evoked acetylcholine release in tick paralysis [1].
The seasonal occurrence of Karoo paralysis in relation to the infestation density of female Ixodes rubicundus was investigated in an enzootic area of the southwestern Orange Free State, South Africa. Young and adult Angora goats were exposed to infestation during two paralysis tick seasons [2].
Most veterinarians (76%) reported that they never used atropine in the treatment of tick paralysis in either dogs or cats [3].
Lufenuron and tick paralysis [4].
Glutaraldehyde treatment of the toxin of the Australian paralysis tick Ixodes holocyclus produced a potent, immunogenic toxoid [5].

Chemical compound and disease context of Tick Paralysis

Spatial distribution of the Karoo paralysis tick (Ixodes rubicundus) has been studied in a paralysis enzootic area of the southwestern Orange Free State. Significantly more females than males were collected from the vegetation [6].
