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 ...

A glimpse into the world of microRNAs and their putative roles in hard ticks. [PDF]
Front Cell Dev BiolTicks are important blood feeding ectoparasites that transmit pathogens to wildlife, domestic animals, and humans. Hard ticks can feed for several days to weeks, nevertheless they often go undetected. This phenomenon can be explained by a tick’s ability to release analgesics, immunosuppressives, anticoagulants, and vasodilators within their saliva ...

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.
