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 ...

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.

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 ...

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).

Systematics and Biogeography of Hard Ticks, a Total Evidence Approach
Cladistics, 2000Systematic relationships among the basal Ixodidae are examined using one morphological and three molecular data sets, 18S and 28S nuclear and 16S mitochondrial rDNA. Although different combinations of partitions are incompatible in a partition homogeneity test, combining them produces similar or better support for most major lineages through both ...

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.

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 ...
