Hard Ticks as Vectors: The Emerging Threat of Tick-Borne Diseases in India [PDF]
PathogensHard ticks (Ixodidae) play a critical role in transmitting various tick-borne diseases (TBDs), posing significant global threats to human and animal health. Climatic factors influence the abundance, diversity, and vectorial capacity of tick vectors.

Hard ticks in Burmese amber with Australasian affinities. [PDF]
Parasitology, 2023 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. [PDF]
Ticks Tick Borne Dis, 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.

Coendangered hard-ticks: threatened or threatening? [PDF]
Parasites & Vectors, 2011 The overwhelming majority of animal conservation projects are focused on vertebrates, despite most of the species on Earth being invertebrates. Estimates state that about half of all named species of invertebrates are parasitic in at least one stage of ...

Exploring the dynamic adult hard ticks-camel-pathogens interaction. [PDF]
mSphereABSTRACT The ability of ticks to interact and adapt to different ecologies and hosts determines their vectorial competence for various pathogens; however, ticks-livestock-pathogens interaction studies are limited.
