Carryover Effects of Thermal Conditions on Tick Survival, Behavior, and Simulated Detectability. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Recent thermal history affects the abundance and behavior of adult Amblyomma americanum. Thermal responses impacted simulated tick detection through combined effects on movement and mortality. ABSTRACT Carryover effects occur when environmental history of an organism influences its behavior, fitness, and population dynamics.

Rickettsia spp. and Anaplasmataceae in Ticks From Domestic Animals in Northern Colombia. [PDF]

Zoonoses Public Health
ABSTRACT Introduction Tick‐borne diseases have a significant impact on public and animal health and represent a considerable financial burden on livestock farming. However, in many regions of Latin America, comprehensive epidemiological data, including species identification, geographical distribution and molecular profiling of ticks and their ...

Prevalence and Species Identifications of Camel Ixodid Ticks in Habru District, North Wollo Zone, Northeast Ethiopia. [PDF]

Vet Med Sci
The overall tick infestation rate was 55.21% in camels. The most common tick species was H. dromedarii (28.7%). Most tick species had male‐predominant sex ratios. They were more located beneath the animals' tails (30.06%). Ticks were commonly found in the study area.

Seasonal dynamics of Amblyomma sculptum: a review

Parasites & Vectors, 2022
Background Amblyomma sculptum is a hard tick that is associated with domestic animals and the transmission of Brazilian spotted fever. This association has motivated several field studies on this ixodid tick within its distribution area in South America.

Comparative mitogenomics elucidates the population genetic structure of Amblyomma testudinarium in Japan and a closely related Amblyomma species in Myanmar

Evolutionary Applications, 2022
Ticks are the second most important vector capable of transmitting diseases affecting the health of both humans and animals. Amblyomma testudinarium Koch 1844 (Acari: Ixodidae), is a hard tick species having a wide geographic distribution in Asia.

The bacterial community of the lone star tick (Amblyomma americanum)

Parasites & Vectors, 2021
Background The lone star tick ( Amblyomma americanum ), an important vector of a wide range of human and animal pathogens, is very common throughout the East and Midwest of the USA. Ticks are known to carry non-pathogenic bacteria that may play a role in

Lone Star Ticks (Amblyomma americanum):

Delaware journal of public health, 2021
Public health messaging in the eastern United States has historically underemphasized the risks posed by lone star ticks (Amblyomma americanum), focusing instead on blacklegged ticks (Ixodes scapularis).
