Molecular Phylogenetic Relationships of North American Dermacentor Ticks Using Mitochondrial Gene Sequences [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Dermacentor is a recently evolved genus of hard ticks (Family Ixodiae) that includes 36 known species worldwide. Despite the importance of Dermacentor species as vectors of human and animal disease, the systematics of the genus remain largely unresolved.

The Defensin Gene in Dermacentor Variabilis and Ixodes Scapularis

open access: yes, 2005
In response to microbial challenge, invertebrates rely on their innate immune response to recognize and destroy harmful pathogens. One of the primary proteins produced by the response and that has been observed in many invertebrates, including insects, mussels, and ticks, is defensin. These proteins are responsible for forming pores in the membranes of

Evidence for the Role of Ecdysteroids in the Genital Sex Pheromone of Two species of Hard Ticks, \u3ci\u3eDermacentor variabilis\u3c/i\u3e (Say) and \u3ci\u3eDermacentor andersoni\u3c/i\u3e Stiles [PDF]

open access: yes, 1989
Neutering of part-fed females virtually eliminated copulatory behavior in Dermacentor variabilis and D. andersoni males. Extracts from the anterior reproductive tracts (ART) of part-fed (7 days) females restored the male copulatory behavior in ...

open access: yes, 2019
Dermacentor variabilis, a common human-biting tick found throughout the eastern half and along the west coast of the United States, is a vector of multiple bacterial pathogens. Historically, D.
