Overview

Atilio J. Mangold is affiliated with the National Agricultural Technology Institute in Argentina. Their work primarily focuses on parasitology, infectious diseases, and agricultural and biological sciences, with a notable emphasis on vector-borne infectious diseases and animal health.

Their recent research covers a range of topics within medicine, immunology, microbiology, and ecological systematics, specializing in the study of mites, tick-borne diseases, and helminth infections. This research spans fields such as veterinary parasitology and entomology, highlighting the role of acaricides and control strategies for cattle ticks and other vectors.

Some representative papers authored or co-authored by Mangold include:

  • Resistance of the cattle tick Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus to ivermectin in Argentina, 2020, Research in Veterinary Science
  • Management strategies to minimize the use of synthetic chemical acaricides in the control of the cattle tick Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus (Canestrini, 1888) in an area highly favourable for its development in Argentina, 2020, Medical and Veterinary Entomology
