Analyzing Animal Disease, Stocker Cattle Production Systems, and Policy Choices in Production Agriculture
Benavidez, Justin Reynaldo (2018-12-07)Agricultural producers across a diverse set of enterprises face significant risk each year when planting begins, livestock are purchased, or a new investment is made in machinery or facilities. Participants in other ... -
Bioinformatic and Biochemical Characterization of Amblyomma americanum (Acari: Ixodidae) Serine Protease Inhibitors (Serpins)
Porter, Lindsay Michelle (2016-05-06)Ticks bites are a source of morbidity and mortality for humans and animals. Chemicals have been insufficient for tick control whereas an anti-tick vaccine may be an effective alternative. Hosts use serpins to control their ... -
Effects of Temperature and Tissue Type on the Development of Megaselia scalaris (Loew) (Diptera: Phoridae)
Thomas, Joshua (2015-12-08)The scuttle fly, Megaselia scalaris (Loew), is a Dipteran from the Phoridae family of medical, veterinary, and forensic importance. In the case of the latter, M. scalaris is commonly associated with indoor death scenes and ... -
Germline transformation and isolation of midgut related genes from the potato tuber moth, Phthoramiaea operculella, (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae).
Mohammed, Ahmed Mohammed Ahmed (Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)Potato production in tropical and subtropical countries suffers from damage caused by the potato tuber moth (PTM), Phthorimiaea operculella. Development of a germline transformation system and the identification of genes ... -

Insecticide Resistance of Alphitobius diaperinus (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) to β-Cyfluthrin And Associated Heat Tolerance
Lyons, Brandon Nicholas (2014-05-01)The lesser mealworm Alphitobius diaperinus (Panzer) (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) is an important economic pest to poultry producers globally that cause structural damage and spread pathogens to poultry. Adult lesser mealworms ... -
Localization and partial immunological characterization of Fasciola hepatica Thioredoxin
McKown, Richard Dwayne (Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)This study reports the localization and partial characterization of thioredoxin from the parasitic trematode Fasciola hepatica. Snails (Pseudosuccinia columella) were raised in culture and infected with F. hepatica so that ... -
Molecular characterization of Theileria spp. using ribosomal RNA
Bendele, Kylie Gayle (Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)The molecular characterization of twenty six Theileria spp. isolates and one C. felis isolate were done on the small subunit ribosomal RNA (SSU rRNA) gene, the 5.8S gene, and the two internal transcribed spacer regions ... -
Nocturnal light and temperature influences on necrophagous, carrion-associating blow fly species (Diptera: Calliphoridae) of forensic importance in Central Texas
Kirkpatrick, Ryan Scott (Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)It is commonly thought that blow flies are nocturnally inactive. Blowflies are often important in helping to estimate post mortem intervals (PMI) for corpses found at death scenes. If blow flies oviposit during nocturnal ... -
Studies Involving Three Species of Ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) Arising From an Outbreak of Equine Piroplasmosis (Theileria equi) in South Texas
Donaldson, Taylor G (2019-04-09)Equine piroplasmosis (EP) is a tick-borne disease of equines caused by Theileria equi. In 2009, an outbreak occurred in Texas, USA. Known intrastadial vectors of EP include Amblyomma mixtum and Dermacentor variabilis. ...
