Resumo: | Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus (Acari: Ixodidae), popularly known as cattle tick, is considered the main ectoparasite in tropical and subtropical countries. The control of this tick is carried out mainly by the use of synthetic acaricides, and numerous reports of resistant populations are described worldwide. Given this scenario, it is essential to develop new products for the control of this parasite, as well as new methods that assess with greater precision and less subjectivity the tick resistance and the selection of potential drugs for the control of R. (B.) microplus. The present study was divided into two chapters. Chapter I aimed to develop and validate a new automatic counting method to assess tick larval mortality. A software for differentiating live and dead larvae was developed in different stages: obtaining videos; image segmentation using the firefly algorithm; larvae detection with the fast radial symmetry transformation (FRST) technique; and tracking of larvae based on particle displacement over time. To validate the developed software, larval immersion tests of R. (B.) microplus with ivermectin, cypermethrin and fipronil were performed in triplicate. The assessment of larval mortality was performed by recording videos at 60, 40 and 20s for further analysis in the counting software. In addition, manual counts of the same samples were performed by three different analysts, each responsible for counting a replica of each test. There was no statistical difference in LCs50 determined in manual and automatic assessments for ivermectin and fipronil. For cypermethrin, the LC50 calculated after manual assessment was 2.2 times lower than that of automatic assessment. Video acquisition time was 2.9 to 4.4 times faster than manual evaluation. The average processing time for each video was 5.73 min, regardless of their duration. Chapter II aimed to evaluate the in vivo and in vitro acaricide activity of a formulation containing synthetic pyrethroid associated with a monoterpene. From the associations between the monoterpene and the pyrethroid, in vitro tests were carried out on R. (B.) microplus larvae, verifying a possible synergism. In the in vitro test of engorged females, the formulation with the association of pyrethroid + monoterpene (0.4 mg/mL) presented a percent control of 57.50%, a value higher than that obtained with the formulations with pyrethroid alone. In the in vivo tests, the association of pyrethroid + monoterpene (0.4 mg/mL) presented an average percent control (67.3%) higher than the formulation with only pyrethroid (57.7%), with the best results. visualized between days +1 and +7, when the percentage of control presented values of 93.75% and 71.84%, compared to 50.20% and 40.05% of the pyrethroid formulation alone. According to the results obtained in this study, we demonstrate that the method developed for automatic counting of tick larvae was validated and can be considered a viable alternative for determining the percentage of tick larvae mortality. Furthermore, the formulation developed in this work (synthetic pyrethroid + monoterpene) has the potential to be used in the control of R. (B.) microplus and should be considered as a basis for further studies. |

O controle deste carrapato é realizado principalmente pela utilização de carrapaticidas sintéticos, e inúmeros relatos de populações resistentes são descritos no mundo todo. Diante deste cenário, é imprescindível o desenvolvimento de novos produtos para o controle desse parasito, assim como novos métodos que avaliem com maior precisão e menor subjetividade a resistência carrapaticida e a seleção de drogas potenciais para o controle de R. (B.) microplus. O presente estudo foi dividido em dois capítulos. O capítulo I teve como objetivo desenvolver e validar um novo método de contagem automática para avaliar a mortalidade larval de carrapatos. Um software para diferenciação de larvas vivas e mortas foi desenvolvido em diferentes etapas: obtenção de vídeos; segmentação de imagens usando o algoritmo de vaga-lume; detecção de larvas com a técnica de transformação de simetria radial rápida (FRST); e rastreamento das larvas baseado no deslocamento de partículas ao longo do tempo. Para validação do software desenvolvido, testes de imersão larval de R. (B.) micropluscom ivermectina, cipermetrina e fipronil foram realizados em triplicata. A avaliação da mortalidade larval foi realizada por meio de gravações de vídeos nos tempos de 60, 40 e 20s para posterior análise no software de contagem. Além disso, foram realizadas contagens manuais das mesmas amostras por três analistas diferentes, cada um responsável pela contagem de uma réplica de cada teste. Não houve diferença estatística nas CLs50 determinadas nas avaliações manuais e automática para ivermectina e fipronil. Para cipermetrina, a CL50 calculada após avaliação manual foi até 2,2 vezes menor que a da avaliação automática. O tempo de aquisição dos vídeos foi de 2.9 a 4.4 vezes mais rápido que a avaliação manual. O tempo médio de processamento de cada vídeo foi de 5,73 min, independente da duração dos mesmos. O capítulo II teve como objetivo avaliar a atividade carrapaticida in vivo e in vitro de uma formulação contendo piretróide sintético associado a um monoterpeno. A partir de associações entre o monoterpeno e o piretróide, foram realizados testes in vitro sobre larvas de R. (B.) microplus, verificando-se um possível sinergismo. No teste in vitro sobre fêmeas ingurgitadas a formulação com a associação de piretróide + monoterpeno (0,4 mg/mL) apresentou um percentual de controle de 57,50%, valor superior aos obtidos com as formulações com piretróide isoladamente. Nos testes in vivo, a associação de piretróide + monoterpeno (0,4 mg/mL) apresentou um percentual de controle médio (67,3%) superior ao da formulação com apenas o piretróide (57,7%), com os melhores resultados visualizados entre os dias +1 e +7, quando o percentual de controle apresentou valores de 93,75% e 71,84%, comparado aos 50,20% e 40,05% da formulação de apenas piretróide. De acordo com os resultados obtidos nesta tese, demonstramos que o método desenvolvido para contagem automática de larvas de carrapato foi validado, podendo ser considerado uma alternativa viável para determinação do percentual de mortalidade de larvas de carrapatos. Além disso, a formulação desenvolvida neste trabalho (piretróide sintético + monoterpeno) tem potencial para ser utilizada no controle de R. (B.) microplus e deve ser considerada como base para estudos posteriores.Submitted by Maria Aparecida (cidazen@gmail.com) on 2022-08-05T17:23:16Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Isabella Chaves.pdf: 2801877 bytes, checksum: 44ec27a5855b18fdcec9cd2f97d5b9d1 (MD5)Made available in DSpace on 2022-08-05T17:23:16Z (GMT).

Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus (Acari: Ixodidae), popularly known as cattle tick, is considered the main ectoparasite in tropical and subtropical countries. The control of this tick is carried out mainly by the use of synthetic acaricides, and numerous reports of resistant populations are described worldwide. Given this scenario, it is essential to develop new products for the control of this parasite, as well as new methods that assess with greater precision and less subjectivity the tick resistance and the selection of potential drugs for the control of R. (B.) microplus. The present study was divided into two chapters. Chapter I aimed to develop and validate a new automatic counting method to assess tick larval mortality. A software for differentiating live and dead larvae was developed in different stages: obtaining videos; image segmentation using the firefly algorithm; larvae detection with the fast radial symmetry transformation (FRST) technique; and tracking of larvae based on particle displacement over time. To validate the developed software, larval immersion tests of R. (B.) microplus with ivermectin, cypermethrin and fipronil were performed in triplicate. The assessment of larval mortality was performed by recording videos at 60, 40 and 20s for further analysis in the counting software. In addition, manual counts of the same samples were performed by three different analysts, each responsible for counting a replica of each test. There was no statistical difference in LCs50 determined in manual and automatic assessments for ivermectin and fipronil. For cypermethrin, the LC50 calculated after manual assessment was 2.2 times lower than that of automatic assessment. Video acquisition time was 2.9 to 4.4 times faster than manual evaluation. The average processing time for each video was 5.73 min, regardless of their duration. Chapter II aimed to evaluate the in vivo and in vitro acaricide activity of a formulation containing synthetic pyrethroid associated with a monoterpene. From the associations between the monoterpene and the pyrethroid, in vitro tests were carried out on R. (B.) microplus larvae, verifying a possible synergism. In the in vitro test of engorged females, the formulation with the association of pyrethroid + monoterpene (0.4 mg/mL) presented a percent control of 57.50%, a value higher than that obtained with the formulations with pyrethroid alone. In the in vivo tests, the association of pyrethroid + monoterpene (0.4 mg/mL) presented an average percent control (67.3%) higher than the formulation with only pyrethroid (57.7%), with the best results. visualized between days +1 and +7, when the percentage of control presented values of 93.75% and 71.84%, compared to 50.20% and 40.05% of the pyrethroid formulation alone. According to the results obtained in this study, we demonstrate that the method developed for automatic counting of tick larvae was validated and can be considered a viable alternative for determining the percentage of tick larvae mortality. Furthermore, the formulation developed in this work (synthetic pyrethroid + monoterpene) has the potential to be used in the control of R. (B.) microplus and should be considered as a basis for further studies. |
