Hard ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) infesting domestic animals in Egypt: diagnostic characters and a taxonomic key to the collected species

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, 2021
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

A cross‐sectional study of hard ticks (acari: ixodidae) on horse farms to assess the risk factors associated with tick‐borne diseases

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.

Color Patterning in Hard Ticks (Acari: Ixodidae)

Journal of Medical Entomology, 2017
Among 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 ...

Coxiella symbionts are widespread into hard ticks

Parasitology Research, 2016
Ticks are blood-feeding arthropods and can harbor several bacteria, including the worldwide zoonotic disease Q-fever agent Coxiella burnetii. Recent studies have reported a distinct group of Coxiella mostly associated with Ixodidae ticks, including the primary endosymbionts of Amblyomma americanum.

Richness of hard ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) from Eastern Brazilian Amazonia, state of Pará, Brazil

, 2021
Ixodid 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,

Identification of Hard Ticks in the United States: A Practical Guide for Clinicians and Pathologists

American journal of dermatopathology, 2021
: According to guidelines published by the Infectious Disease Society of America, Lyme disease prophylaxis is possible if a tick can be identified as Ixodes scapularis (nymphal or adult) within 72 hours of tick removal.

Hard ticks as vectors—some basic issues

Wiener klinische Wochenschrift, 2018
There 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 ...

Digestive enzymes in ?hard ticks? (ixodoidea, ixodidae)

Zeitschrift f�r Parasitenkunde, 1973
The proteolytic activity of gut extracts prepared from Hyalomma excavatum female ticks was studied at different stages of blood feeding. Proteolytic enzyme activity was shown to be negligible in unfed ticks, increased from the onset of the tick feeding, reached a maximum at 60–70 hours post attachment and then declined to the initial low level ...

Types of Parasitism of Hard Ticks (Ixodidae)

Entomological Review, 2020
Critical 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).
