Ticks are important vectors of emerging health problems in humans and animals. We conducted several field surveillances to investigate the fauna of hard ticks on domestic animals in seven governorates of Egypt during 2018–2019. A total of 3265 individual

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 ...

Zoonoses and Public Health, 2021
Zoonotic diseases are significant public health issues. There is an urgent need to focus our efforts on the development of strategies that prevent and control potential arthropod vector‐borne pathogens.

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).

Richness of hard ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) from Eastern Brazilian Amazonia, state of Pará, Brazil
, 2021Ixodid or hard ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) occurs worldwide and are considered the most important vectors of pathogens to wild and domestic animals. Herein, we provide information on tick species infesting wildlife vertebrates, domestic animals (dog, donkey,

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.
