In a related article, also published in Parasites & Vectors, Michael Leschnik and colleagues test the effectiveness of common anti-tick measures at preventing tick-borne infections in dogs. Their results suggest that owners should be much more careful to follow the manufacturers' instructions.
Dog owners throughout central Europe secretly dread the arrival of spring. Of course it is more pleasant taking a pet for a walk when the sun is shining but having to search the animal's fur afterwards for ticks is hardly most people's idea of fun. Georg Duscher and colleagues at the University of Veterinary Medicine, Vienna's Institute of Parasitology have now shown just how much more likely dogs are to pick up ticks when the temperatures rise. The researchers analysed data for 700 ticks found on a total of 90 dogs that were regularly walked in a particular area in eastern Austria. Of the three species that occurred, the commonest, Ixodes ricinus, primarily infected dogs in April and May, although a second peak in infection occurred in September; Dermacentor reticulatus was largely found in March/April, with lower numbers in October; while Haemaphysalis concinna seemed to favour the summer, with the majority found in June and July. In other words, although the precise species of tick their animals are most likely to encounter varies with the season, dog owners need to pay attention to the possibility of ticks throughout the year, especially from March until November.
But surely it is possible to use commercially available products to keep Fido free of bloodsuckers? Unfortunately not: the scientists discovered that the number of ticks per day on animals treated with an acaricide, either alone or together with a repellent, was not significantly lower than on untreated animals. Worryingly, the ticks in question are capable of causing disease. Dogs in central Europe are at risk of four major tick-borne diseases: canine babesiosis, canine granulocytic anaplasmosis, canine borreliosis and tick-borne encephalitis (TBE). For dogs to contract one of these diseases, a tick carrying the appropriate microorganism or virus must feed for long enough to transmit the pathogen into the animal's blood. By analysing blood samples from the 90 dogs in the study, Michael Leschnik of the Vetmeduni Vienna's Small Animal Clinic was able to show that over half of them had become infected with one or more of the pathogens during the study period. Disappointingly, the chance of being infected did not seem to be reduced by the use of an acaricide, either alone or together with a repellent. Leschnik is keen to qualify this finding, pointing out that "the poor performance of the drugs in our study may relate to low owner compliance: many owners only applied the spot-on drugs after finding ticks and they did not use the drugs often enough. The efficiency is much higher under laboratory conditions, so we should try to raise the owners' awareness of how to apply the products correctly."
During their work on ticks in eastern Austria the scientists at the Vetmeduni Vienna made another very interesting observation. On humans, ticks are known to select particular sites for attaching and sucking blood, wandering over our bodies until they find somewhere warm and sheltered to feed. It is widely assumed that the same behaviour is shown by ticks that feed on dogs but Duscher and colleagues found instead that the ticks seem to be largely confined to the heads, shoulders and chests of dogs, presumably the places where the ticks arrive on the animals. As Duscher says, "their body shape makes it difficult for them to crawl through dense fur, so ticks probably attach close to where they arrive rather than risking being knocked off by vegetation."

How To Build Lists Through Email Marketing
It is likely that you have been the recipient of marketing emails previously. Email marketing gives you the ability to both work to retain current customers while also engaging potential customers. Keep reading to find out how email marketing can work for you.
Carefully select the best time to send your messages, based on the needs of your readers. For example, a newsletter that has to do with business does best if it?s distributed during business days. Newsletters related to leisure time or families will be most successful when sent out on the weekend.
Your marketing emails need to stay short. Your language should be as direct as possible. This will show the reader that you respect how much their time is worth. This is also effective at making readers more likely to go over the whole message. Although your most important information should be at the top of the email, there are always important links and content near the end as well.
All images included in the messages should be tagged with Alt data. If the image does not load, the Alt tag will be helpful. The tag should appropriately describe the missing image. You should also use descriptions for your links.
Your email?s subject line should jump out at the reader and make them want to know more. Your customers should be excited when they read the subject line, so they want to open the email. Emails that have headlines or subjects which are suspicious will be deleted or remain unopened.
Do not use email messages that require graphical elements in order to present key facts. Images are frequently not displayed automatically by many email clients, particularly web-based ones. This can make your messages ugly or even unreadable if they are too reliant on images. You should always present vital information in plain text, and make certain that all of your images utilize alt tags.
You should think about combining your email campaigns with other marketing techniques, such as social media marketing. These networks make it easier for customers to share your information with others, and you can grow your mailing list organically by interacting with visitors at your social networking sites, drumming up interest for your content.
SMS messages can be a great side kick to an email strategy. When used together, your readers are able to receive all of the information you wish them to have. Text messages will allow you to increase your brand awareness.
Keep up with your competitors? actions when it comes to their campaigns for email marketing. Signing up with their email lists is an easy way to accomplish this. By seeing what they?re doing, you will be able to make your emails better than theirs. See if you can find niches not addressed by your competition. If they are offering promotions, find ways to offer higher quality promotions.
With the increased use of email over the last decade, email marketing is known to most people now. By using simple email messages, companies can market their products and services. It can work very well as a marketing strategy if utilized right and that can be easily done by using the advice given to you in this article.
