Welcome! If you are familiar with the subject of this article, you can contribute to this open access knowledge base by deleting incorrect information, restructuring or completely rewriting any text. Read more.

Disease relevance of Psoroptidae

The bacterium Serratia marcescens isolated from surface-sterilised Psoroptes cuniculi was found sensitive to the antibiotic Amikacin [1].

High impact information on Psoroptidae

Adult Psoroptes ovis were successively extracted in saline, 1% Tween, 1% Triton and 8 m urea +0.1% CHAPS [2].
Sera from sheep infected with Psoroptes ovis (sheep anti-P. ovis sera) showed positive reactions in dot blots to P. ovis antigen and cross-reactivity to crude antigen extracts from Sarcoptes suis, Notoedres cati and Chorioptes bovis [3].
CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The 2 formulations of deltamethrin were equally able to eradicate Psoroptes infestation of sheep after 2 dippings performed in accordance with the label recommendations [4].
We did not detect live Psoroptes mites in scrapings after day 7 (AMP group) or after day 14 (AMG group) [4].
Expression and characterisation of a Psoroptes ovis glutathione S-transferase [5].

Biological context of Psoroptidae

Structure/activity relationship of some natural monoterpenes as acaricides against Psoroptes cuniculi [6].

Associations of Psoroptidae with chemical compounds

Field efficacy of flumethrin pour-on against Psoroptes ovis in cattle [7].
Efficacy of some pyrethroids against a strain of the rabbit ear mite (Psoroptes cuniculi): an unusual cross-resistance pattern [8].
Fenvalerate [Cyano(3-phenoxyphenyl)methyl-4-chloro-alpha-(1-methylethyl) benzene acetate] was evaluated as a one- or two-dip treatment at two different concentrations against cattle infested with Psoroptes ovis (Hering) [9].
Phosphatases, C4 and C8 esterases, leucine and valine aminopeptidases, N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase, beta-glucosidase, beta-galactosidase and beta-glucuronidase were detected in extracts of the parasitic mite Psoroptes cuniculi [10].
Resistance of the sheep scab mite Psoroptes ovis to propetamphos [11].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Psoroptidae

An in vitro immersion bioassay was used to compare the efficacy of selected pyrethroids against a deltamethrin-resistant strain of rabbit ear mite (Psoroptes cuniculi) [8].
