Endogenous Viral Elements in Ixodid Tick Genomes [PDF]
Viruses, 2023 The documentation of endogenous viral elements (EVEs; virus-derived genetic material integrated into the genome of a nonviral host) has offered insights into how arthropods respond to viral infection via RNA interference pathways. Small non-coding RNAs derived from EVE loci serve to direct RNAi pathways in limiting replication and infection from ...

Ethanol inactivation of orthonairoviruses in ixodid ticks. [PDF]
Exp Appl Acarol, 2021 AbstractIxodid ticks represent vectors and reservoirs for a broad range of zoonotic pathogens. Collected ticks from field studies are therefore usually stored in ethanol, which in higher concentrations effectively inactivates most of the known tick-borne pathogens.

Measures of parasitism of the hard ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) infesting goats Capra aegagrus in Basrah province, Iraq, with remarks on ecology [PDF]
Iraqi Journal of Veterinary Sciences, 2023 Goats are one of the essential economic animals in Iraq. Many species of ticks parasitize goats, and cause systemic diseases worldwide. The study was designed with a total of 240 goats in Basrah province, southern Iraq, from January to June 2021.

Rickettsiae in Ixodid Ticks, Sicily
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2005 To the Editor: Members of the spotted fever group rickettsiae are intracellular bacteria usually associated with ixodid ticks, which are transferred to vertebrates by salivary secretions and within ticks transtadially and transovarially. Several tickborne rickettsiae cause human or animal diseases and, in the last 10 years, the increased use of ...
