Integrative taxonomy of Afrotropical Ornithodoros (Ornithodoros) (Acari: Ixodida: Argasidae) [PDF]
Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2018 Afrotropical Ornithodoros (Ornithodoros) ticks are revised based on qualitative morphology of females and nymphs, as well as tarsus I shape outlines of females measured in a geometric morphometric framework. These lines of evidence corroborate lineages based on 16S rRNA nucleotide sequence data. Four previously unrecognized species are described, along

Note sur la sensibilité de la tique Otobius Megnini (Duges, 1883) (Argasidae) à différents insecticides ; emploi du Sevin (1-Naphthyl-N-Methyle-Carbamote) dans la lutte contre cette tique [PDF]
, 1965 Des tests in vitro ont montré: Les adultes d'otobius megnini sont insensibles à l'H. C. H., au Sevin et au D. D. T., employés dans des concentrations actives contre d'autres espèces de tiques; la dieldrine et le toxaphène ont une très lente action; le ...

Coxiella symbiont in the tick Ornithodoros rostratus (Acari: Argasidae)
Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2012 In the present study, the presence of tick-associated bacteria and protozoa in Ornithodoros rostratus ticks (adults, nymphs, and eggs) from the Pantanal region of Brazil were determined by molecular detection. In these ticks, DNA from protozoa in the genera Babesia and Hepatozoon, and bacteria from the genera Rickettsia, Borrelia, Anaplasma, and ...
