Systematics and Biogeography of Hard Ticks, a Total Evidence Approach [PDF]
Cladistics, 2000 Systematic 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 ...

A Versatile Model of Hard Tick Infestation on Laboratory Rabbits
Journal of Visualized Experiments, 2018 The use of live animals in tick research is crucial for a variety of experimental purposes including the maintenance of hard tick colonies in the laboratory. In ticks, all developmental stages (except egg) are hematophagous, and acquiring a blood-meal when attached to their vertebrate hosts is essential for the successful completion of their life cycle.

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 ...
