Hard ticks and their bacterial endosymbionts (or would be pathogens)
Folia Microbiologica, 2013The symbiotic microorganisms of arthropod vectors are highly significant from several points of view, partly due to their possible roles in the transmission of pathogenic causative agents by blood-sucking vectors. Although ticks are well studied because of their significance to human health, novel microbial associations remain to be described.

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).

An Overview of Hard and Soft Ticks and Their Control Methods
2021Ticks are important ectoparasites of livestock in tropical and sub-tropical countries. They are responsible for the enormous economic losses both through the direct effects of blood sucking and indirectly as vectors of disease pathogens and toxins. Morphologically, ticks are classified into two families known as Ixodidae (hard ticks) and Argasidae ...

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 ...

Biological control studies of soft and hard ticks in Egypt
Parasitology Research, 1997The potential activity of three varieties of Bacillus thuringiensis (kurstaki, israeliensis, and thuringiensis) against the soft tick Argas persicus and the hard tick Hyalomma dromedarii was investigated. Soft ticks succumbed within a period ranging from 36 h to 5 days and hard ticks died at between 48 h and 10 days posttreatment, depending on the dose.

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.

Ontogenesis of the questing behavior of hard ticks (Ixodidae)
Entomological Review, 2015The present review is devoted to the analysis of literary and the author’s own data on the questing behavior of larvae, nymphs, and adult ticks in the main genera of the family Ixodidae. The evolutionary trends in the questing behavior of hard ticks and the role of immature stages in this process are discussed.

Copulation and Spermatophore Formation in Soft and Hard Ticks
1973The reproduction i.e., copulation, fertilization and oviposition aroused the interest of acarologists already at the beginning of this century (Samson, 1909; Nuttall and Merriman, 1911). However, these processes in ticks are so unusual and different from those in other groups of Arthropods, that even continued research by Robinson (1942), Wagner ...
