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.

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.

The Subgenus Persicargas (Ixodoidea: Argasidae: Argas)1

Journal of Medical Entomology, 1985
The female Argas (P.) arboreus coxal organ consists of a nitration chamber, a tubular system, and an accessory gland. The nitration chamber, formed of ramified podocytes with thin, membranous diaphragms between successive pedicels, serves for passive fluid transport.

A checklist of the ticks (Acari: Argasidae, Ixodidae) of Japan

Experimental and Applied Acarology, 2018
Ticks significantly affect the health of humans and animals in Japan. However, no complete checklist has been produced for the Japanese tick fauna in English, and even recent checklists in Japanese do not include all presently known tick species found on the Japanese islands. Here, a complete species list of all tick taxa known to occur within Japan is

Autogeny in the Tick Ornithodoros Tholozani (Ixodoidea, Argasidae)1

Journal of Medical Entomology, 1973
Autogeny is described as a characteristic (but variable) feature in certain species of argasid ticks. In Ornithodoros tholozani, females which are relatively large at ecdysis are autogenous, and smaller ones are not. The smallest females did not attract males before feeding.

Techniques for Mass Rearing Soft Ticks (Acari: Argasidae)1

Journal of Medical Entomology, 1986
Techniques are described for efficiently producing thousands of soft ticks for experimental use. A general method is described for each of the following feeding categories: (1) small species with short-term-feeding larvae ( Ornithodoros turicata, O. parkeri, O. erraticus ); (2) small species with long-term-feeding larvae ( O. puertoricensis, O. dugesi )

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.

The updated list of ticks (Acari: Ixodidae & Argasidae) occurring in Iran with a key to the identification of species

Systematic and Applied Acarology, 2019
This study encompasses an updated species list of ticks (Ixodoidea superfam.) in Iran and knowledge on their distribution and host animals are provided. The present list is based on previous literatures as well as observations by the authors on the ticks
