In vitro feeding assays for hard ticks [PDF]
Trends in Parasitology, 2007 Prevention of tick bites and transmission of tick-borne pathogens requires the use of molecules that target physiological processes crucial to both tick and pathogen survival. These molecules are best tested in standardized in vitro assays. Because hard ticks require several days to feed to repletion, the development of in vitro feeding assays for ...

Hard ticks in Burmese amber with Australasian affinities
Parasitology, 2022 AbstractThree examples of metastriate hard ticks (Ixodida: Ixodidae) with apparent affinities to modern Australasian genera are described from the mid-Cretaceous (ca. 100 Ma) Burmese amber of Myanmar. Two nymphs of Bothriocroton muelleri sp. nov. represent the oldest (and only) fossil record of this genus, living members of which are restricted to ...

Neuropeptides in Rhipicephalus microplus and other hard ticks
Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2022 The synganglion is the central nervous system of ticks and, as such, controls tick physiology. It does so through the production and release of signaling molecules, many of which are neuropeptides. These peptides can function as neurotransmitters, neuromodulators and/or neurohormones, although in most cases their functions remain to be established.

Borrelia spirochetes in European exotic farm animals
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2022 Ticks transmit a broad spectrum of pathogens, threatening both animal and human health. Tick survival and proliferation are strongly dependent on host selection and suitability. The hard tick Ixodes ricinus, which is widespread throughout most of Europe,

Hard ticks and tick-borne pathogens in Mongolia—A review
Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2019 Ticks and tick-borne pathogens (TBPs) pose a considerable threat to human and animal health in Mongolia; a large and sparsely inhabited country whose economy is largely dependent on animal production. Intensive contact between herdsmen and their livestock, together with the use of pastures without fencing, allows contact between wildlife, domestic ...

No-touch management in tick infestation of periocular skin
Indian Journal of Ophthalmology. Case Reports, 2022 Ixodidae ticks are vectors of Lyme borreliosis, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, tick-borne encephalitis, and relapsing fever. We present a case of eyelid tick infestation in a 49-year-old patient for 1 week.
