Color Patterning in Hard Ticks (Acari: Ixodidae)
Journal of Medical Entomology, 2017Among the hard ticks (Acari: Ixodidae), many species in the section Metastriata have intricate ornamentation on the scutum that is often used as a taxonomic character. However, the biological function(s) of this ornamentation remains unknown. Here, we summarize the main functions of color patterns recognized in the animal kingdom-thermoregulation ...

Coxiella symbionts are widespread into hard ticks
Parasitology Research, 2016Ticks are blood-feeding arthropods and can harbor several bacteria, including the worldwide zoonotic disease Q-fever agent Coxiella burnetii. Recent studies have reported a distinct group of Coxiella mostly associated with Ixodidae ticks, including the primary endosymbionts of Amblyomma americanum.

Hard ticks as vectors—some basic issues
Wiener klinische Wochenschrift, 2018There are various arthropods (e.g. insects, chiggers, mites, ticks) that take one or more blood meals on terrestrial vertebrates in the course of their lifetime. Among them are ixodid ticks (Acari, Ixodidae), all of which are obligately hematophagous. Their parasitic lifestyle predestines them to act as transmitters or vectors of microparasites, often ...

Digestive enzymes in ?hard ticks? (ixodoidea, ixodidae)
Zeitschrift f�r Parasitenkunde, 1973The proteolytic activity of gut extracts prepared from Hyalomma excavatum female ticks was studied at different stages of blood feeding. Proteolytic enzyme activity was shown to be negligible in unfed ticks, increased from the onset of the tick feeding, reached a maximum at 60–70 hours post attachment and then declined to the initial low level ...

Types of Parasitism of Hard Ticks (Ixodidae)
Entomological Review, 2020Critical revision of the terms “pasture (non-nidicole) type of parasitism” and “nest-and-burrow (nidicole) type of parasitism” widespread in the literature forces us to abandon these terms. All the hard ticks are characterized by the same type of parasitism: they belong to a group of temporary ectoparasites with prolonged feeding (Balashov, 2009).

Austrian hard ticks as vectors of Borrelia burgdorferi, overview
Zentralblatt für Bakteriologie, Mikrobiologie und Hygiene. Series A: Medical Microbiology, Infectious Diseases, Virology, Parasitology, 1986Hard ticks or members of the family Ixodidae are represented by about sixteen different species in Austria (Tab. 1). Most of them are specialized and can be found only on a distinct group of host species such as birds, bats, carnivores and others.

Teratological abnormalities in hard ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) from Pakistan
Experimental and Applied AcarologyStudying teratological abnormalities in ticks are taxonomically important because this poorly understood biological phenomenon causes difficulties in tick's identification. Globally, reports regarding these abnormalities in ticks, reasons of their causes and their impacts are scarce.
