Molecular Ecology of Vectors

2008
Molecular ecology is a recently developed discipline in biology. During the midtwentieth century, ecology and molecular biology occupied almost opposite positions in biological studies. Molecular biology is the study of organisms at the molecular level mainly for DNA, RNA and proteins.

Ticks as vectors: taxonomy, biology and ecology

Revue Scientifique et Technique de l'OIE, 2015
Ticks are prominent parasites and competent vectors of pathogens that affect both humans and animals. This review outlines and illustrates the main features of the morphology of ticks of the families Ixodidae and Argasidae, and summarises the basic components of their life cycles.

Chemical ecology and olfaction in arthropod vectors of diseases

Current Opinion in Insect Science, 2015
Hematophagous arthropods (ticks and insects, collectively hereafter referred to as vectors) transmit various life threatening diseases resulting in over one million human deaths annually. Exploiting vertebrates for blood demanded extensive sensory and behavioral adaptations that are apparent across the evolutionary range of vector species, from ...

Ecology of Simuliid Vectors of Onchocerciasis in Guatemala

American Midland Naturalist, 1954
Onchocerca volvulus, the parasite causing human onchocerciasis, was first described from Africa by Leuckart in 1893. Although early workers speculated a good deal concerning the transmission of the parasite from one person to another, it was the discovery of the presence of the disease in Guatemala by Robles in 1915 (Calderon, 1917; Robles, 1919) that ...

The ecology of Lyme borreliosis vector ticks

1999
The main vectors of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, the cause of Lyme borreliosis, are ixodid ticks of the Ixodes persulcatus species complex. These ticks, which occur throughout the northern temperate zone, have very similar life cycles and ecological requirements. All are three-host ticks, with the immature stages mainly parasitizing small to medium-
