Exploring the dynamic adult hard ticks-camel-pathogens interaction. [PDF]

mSphere
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. With our ticks-hosts-pathogens interface studies,

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.

Application of DNA barcodes in the genetic diversity of hard ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) in Kazakhstan. [PDF]

Exp Appl Acarol
Forty-five tick species have been recorded in Kazakhstan. However, their genetic diversity and evolutionary relationships, particularly when compared to ticks in neighbouring countries, remain unclear. In the present study, 148 mitochondrial cytochrome c
