Research Excerpts

Overview

ExcerptReference
"Tick paralysis is a preventable cause of morbidity and death that, when diagnosed promptly, requires a simple low-cost intervention."( Greenstein, P, 2002)
"Tick paralysis is an acute, progressive, and potentially fatal muscle paralysis secondary to a toxin secreted by a pregnant tick during a bite."( Burke, MS; Fordham, LA; Hamrick, HJ, 2005)

Context

ExcerptReference
"Tick paralysis has not been reported in horses in North America."( Camp, JW; Lewis, MJ; Parsley, AL; Taylor, SD; Trumpp, KM, 2019)

Treatment

ExcerptReference
"Questions referred to dogs and cats treated for tick paralysis over a period of three years: the number treated, treatment protocols and adverse systemic reactions to tick antitoxin serum."( Atwell, RB; Campbell, FE, 2001)
