On the Origin of soft ticks (Parasitiformes, Ixodoidea, Argasidae)
The origin of the common evolutionary branch of soft and hard ticks is dated to the later Permian, approximately coinciding with the Permian extinction, and divergence of the common branch of Ixodoidea into ancestral forms of Argasidae and Ixodidae occurred in the Triassic.

Atlas of ticks (Acari: Argasidae, Ixodidae) in Germany [PDF]
AbstractAn updated and increased compilation of georeferenced tick locations in Germany is presented here. This data collection extends the dataset published some years ago by another 1448 new tick locations, 900 locations of which were digitized from literature and 548 locations are published here for the first time.

Multilocus Sequence Typing Unveils Two Novel Genospecies of <i>Borrelia burgdorferi</i> Sensu Lato in Ticks Infesting Cricetid Rodents of Northern Chile. [PDF]
Tick‐borne spirochetes of the genus Borrelia are maintained in enzootic transmission cycles involving wild vertebrates such as rodents. The genus includes the lyme disease group (LDG), transmitted by hard ticks (Ixodidae), and the relapsing fever group (RFG), mostly transmitted by soft ticks (Argasidae).

Prevalence and Identification of Livestock Tick by Sex Ratio and Host in Tehran Province. [PDF]
This study identified tick species infesting livestock and poultry in Tehran Province, revealing a female‐biased sex ratio and sheep as the most infested hosts. Rhipicephalus sanguineus sensu lato was the dominant species. These findings underscore the need for host‐targeted tick control to mitigate disease transmission and economic losses.
