Hard tick in female external genitalia: A rare site of tick bite

Indian Journal of Health Sciences and Biomedical Research (KLEU), 2023
Ticks are principal vectors for the transmission of numerous arthropod-borne infections like Lyme disease, human granulocytic anaplasmosis, babesiosis, viral encephalitis, Borrelia, and rickettsial infections. Rarely, tick infestation of lower eyelid has been reported. So far, there has been no case report about tick infestation in genitalia. Hence, we

Contributions to the knowledge of hard ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) in Colombia [PDF]

Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2018
The known tick fauna of Colombia includes 58 species (15 Argasidae and 43 Ixodidae). To add to the knowledge of the biology of ticks in Colombia, hard ticks (Ixodidae) were collected from domestic animals or vegetation during 2014-2016 in 10 of Colombia's Departments. Ticks were identified to species through morphological examinations.

Two kinds of ferritin protect ixodid ticks from iron overload and consequent oxidative stress.

PLoS ONE, 2014
Ticks are obligate hematophagous parasites that have successfully developed counteractive means against their hosts' immune and hemostatic mechanisms, but their ability to cope with potentially toxic molecules in the blood remains unclear.
