Morphological anomalies in hard ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) from Brazil

, 2023
Tick abnormalities have been unusual in nature, and they can be divided into local and general. In the present study, external morphological anomalies were described in 31 individual adult ticks of 15 different species of Ixodidae, which were collected ...

The bacterial patterns suggesting the dynamic features of tick-associated microorganisms in hard ticks. [PDF]

BMC Microbiol
Abstract Background Ticks are blood-feeding significant arthropods that can harbour various microorganisms, including pathogens that pose health risks to humans and animals. Tick-symbiont microorganisms are believed to influence tick development, but the intricate interactions between these microbes and the relationships

Hard ticks and tick-borne pathogens in Mongolia—A review

Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2019
Ticks and tick-borne pathogens (TBPs) pose a considerable threat to human and animal health in Mongolia; a large and sparsely inhabited country whose economy is largely dependent on animal production. Intensive contact between herdsmen and their livestock, together with the use of pastures without fencing, allows contact between wildlife, domestic ...

A meta-analysis of host specificity in Neotropical hard ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) [PDF]

, 2013
Host specificity of Neotropical hard ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) was analyzed by using the number of hosts species for each tick species and the index of host specificity STD*, which integrates phylogenetic and ecological information. The analyses were based

Hard ticks infesting domestic ruminants, species composition and infection with Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus in a highland province, SW Iran [PDF]

Journal of Health Sciences and Surveillance System, 2019
Background: Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a neglected tick-borne viral zoonotic disease. The aim was to detect CCHF virus (CCHFV) among wild ticks from Artiodactyla, Bos taurus, Ovis aries, and Capra hircus, in a previously declared CCHFV ...

First molecular survey of Anaplasma phagocytophilum in hard ticks (Ixodidae) from Southwestern Iran

Journal of Vector Borne Diseases, 2021
Anaplasma phagocytophilum is a gram-negative obligate intracellular tick-borne rickettsia with veterinary and public health importance worldwide. This organism is an etiologic agent of tick-borne fever (TBF) in domesticated animals and human granulocytic

A glimpse into the world of microRNAs and their putative roles in hard ticks. [PDF]

Front Cell Dev Biol
Ticks 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 ...

Evolution, expansion and expression of the Kunitz/BPTI gene family associated with long-term blood feeding in Ixodes Scapularis

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2012
Background Recent studies of the tick saliva transcriptome have revealed the profound role of salivary proteins in blood feeding. Kunitz/BPTI proteins are abundant in the salivary glands of ticks and perform multiple functions in blood feeding, such as ...

First Detection of Jingmen Tick Virus in Hard Ticks Collected Across Multiple Regions of Italy. [PDF]

Viruses
Jingmen tick virus (JMTV) is a novel flavi-like virus first identified in 2010 in Rhipicephalus microplus in the Jingmen region of Hubei Province, China and has been reported in different Asian countries, Central and South America, Africa, and Europe. Beyond ticks, JMTV has been detected in a range of other arthropods and in vertebrate hosts. In humans,
