Ticks (Acari: Ixodoidea: Argasidae, Ixodidae) of China

Experimental and Applied Acarology, 2010
This paper presents results of an investigation and listing of tick species found in China during a survey in all 28 provinces. This will be a step towards a definitive list of tick species and their distribution. To date, the tick fauna of this area consists of 117 species in the following families: Argasidae-Argas (7 species), Carios (4 species) and ...

Laboratory Biology of Ornithodoros (Alectorobius) puertoricensis (Acari: Argasidae)

Journal of Medical Entomology, 1991
The laboratory biology of Ornithodoros (Alectorobius) puertoricensis Fox was studied over a 2-yr period. Approximately 100-150 ticks were reared individually at each of four temperatures: 22, 27, 33, and 40 degrees C and 90-95% RH. The mean egg incubation periods at those temperatures were 20.3, 11.1, 7.3, and 6.1 d, respectively.

An overview on Sardinia’s soft ticks (Ixodida: Argasidae)

Experimental and Applied Acarology, 2016
Knowledge about soft ticks (Ixodida: Argasidae) in Sardinia is incomplete and distribution data need to be updated. This work studies soft ticks on the island focusing on two species, Argas reflexus and Ornithodoros maritimus, both recently recorded. A total number of 12 specimens of these species of interest were collected between 2004 and 2015.

Occurrence of Ornithodoros kelleyi (Acari: Argasidae) in Kentucky

Journal of Medical Entomology, 1992
A new distribution record is established for the tick Ornithodoros kelleyi Cooley & Kohls for Kentucky. Collections of this tick were associated with bat roosting sites in attics of houses. Scanning electron microscopy was used as an aid in distinguishing various taxonomic characteristics and morphological structures of O. kelleyi.

Colonization and Laboratory Development of Otobius megnini (Acari: Argasidae)

Journal of Economic Entomology, 1986
Laboratory colonization techniques for Otobius megnini (Duges) are reported on rabbits and cattle. All life stages were held in darkness at 26 ± 1°C and 65 ± 5% RH, except unfed larvae, which were held at 85 ± 2% RH. Respective mean engorgement times for larvae and nymphs fed on cattle were 4.7 ± 2.1 and 38.2 ± 7.4 days.

Artificial immunization of pigeons against Argas polonicus (Ixodoidea, Argasidae)

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, 1990
Abstract. Two subcutaneous injections of salivary gland antigen (SGA) or larval homogenate (LH) at 2‐week intervals induced a resistance in pigeons to Argas (Argas) polonicus Siuda, Hoogstraal, Clifford and Wassef larvae and induced anti‐tick antibodies.

A New Ligation Technique for Soft Ticks (Acari: Argasidae)

Journal of Medical Entomology, 1988
A new technique is described for the ligation of soft ticks using standard office staples. The technique was applied to Ornithodoros parkeri . The method is simple and easy; it results in complete separation of the tick body and causes low mortality.

Life Cycle of Ornithodoros (Alectorobius) talaje (Acari: Argasidae) in Laboratory

Journal of Medical Entomology, 1995
Specimens of Ornithodoros (Alectorobius) talaje (Guérin-Mèneville) collected in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, were used to start a laboratory colony. Larvae were fed on chicks and nymphs and adults were fed on adult chickens. From the specimens that emerged after the third molt, 97.6% were nymphs and 2.4% were males.
