Ectoparasite Diversity and Infection Burden on Two Sympatric Bat Species, Myotis lucifugus and M. septentrionalis (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
Ectoparasite community diversity is similar between two endangered bat species in Atlantic Canada. Ectoparasite burden of the two most common ectoparasites varies between bat species in conjunction with their behavior and roosting differences. ABSTRACT Parasites are an abundant and diverse group of organisms that are often excluded from biodiversity ...

Range Modeling and Surveillance of Ornithodoros turicata Ticks: Implications for Detecting African Swine Fever Virus in the United States

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
Ornithodoros turicata collected from a dry ice baited tick trap. ABSTRACT African Swine Fever virus (ASFv) is a re‐emerging global swine disease that, if introduced to the United States, would cause severe economic consequences. The widespread presence of feral hogs in addition to the presence of competent tick vectors, specifically Ornithodoros ...

Genetic diversity of viruses of Chenuda virus species (Orbivirus, Reoviridae) circulating in Central Asia

Вопросы вирусологии, 2017
Chenuda virus (CNUV) (Orbivirus, Reoviridae) is the only known orbivirus associated with argas (Argasidae) ticks. Scientific study of this group is necessary for understanding of Orbivirus genus evolution patterns.

Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Blood Parasite Infections and Impacts on Avian Health and Reproduction

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 24, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Parasitic infections are ubiquitous in nature, but their consequences are often difficult to evaluate in wildlife. This is particularly the case for chronic infections for which fitness impacts can be subtle or confounded with other intrinsic and extrinsic factors.

Study on Hard and Soft Ticks of Domestic and Wild Animals in Western Iran

Journal of Arthropod-Borne Diseases, 2023
Background: Ticks are blood-sucking ectoparasites of many vertebrates and act as vectors of a wide range of vector-borne diseases. Alongside pathogens transmission, ticks also cause economic losses in animal industry such as produc­tion loss, physical ...

Harnessing 50 years of tick population genetics: Choosing the right molecular tool for contemporary research

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 94, Issue 11, Page 2159-2177, November 2025.
Population genetics reveals how ticks interact with hosts, microbiomes and environments. This review guides researchers in choosing the best tool for the job, weighing cost, resolution, reproducibility and throughput to study tick population structure. Abstract Ticks are ectoparasites of major medical, veterinary and ecological importance, transmitting

A review of the systematics of the tick family Argasidae (Ixodida) [PDF]

Acarologia, 2010
The tick family Argasidae is a complex and diverse assemblage of about 190 species. Taxa within the Family Ixodidae had received considerable attention by contemporary researchers, but currently there is no consensus about the relevant morphological features for the determination of argasid species nor there is consensus on the appropriate genus for ...

Morphological and molecular data on the bat flies, Basilia silvae (Brèthes, 1913) and Trichobius parasiticus Gervais, 1844 parasitizing Chilean bats

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 39, Issue 3, Page 422-430, September 2025.
We determined morphological and molecularly two species of bat flies: T. parasiticus (Streblidae), and B. silvae (Nycteribiidae). We generated the first sequences for both species in the country for the cytochrome oxidase subunit I. We do recover monophyletic groups for both species, and we discussed the tree topology.

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 ...
