Transport of ixodid ticks and tick-borne pathogens by migratory birds [PDF]

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2013
Birds, particularly passerines, can be parasitized by Ixodid ticks, which may be infected with tick-borne pathogens, like Borrelia spp., Babesia spp., Anaplasma, Rickettsia/Coxiella, and tick-borne encephalitis virus. The prevalence of ticks on birds varies over years, season, locality and different bird species.

Fibrinogen-related proteins in ixodid ticks [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2011
Background Fibrinogen-related proteins with lectin activity are believed to be part of the tick innate immune system. Several fibrinogen-related proteins have been described and characterised mainly on the basis of their cDNA sequences while direct ...

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.

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 ...

Larval thermal characteristics of multiple ixodid ticks. [PDF]

Comp Biochem Physiol A Mol Integr Physiol, 2021
Temperature limits the geographic ranges of several tick species. Little is known about the thermal characteristics of these pests outside of a few studies on survival related to thermal tolerance. In this study, thermal tolerance limits, thermal preference, and the impact of temperature on activity levels and metabolic rate were examined in larvae for

Male mating preference in an ixodid tick

Parasites & Vectors, 2022
Abstract Background Mate choice is a fundamental element of sexual selection and has the potential to shape the evolution of traits. Mate choice based on body size has been shown to be a common trait in several arthropod species.

Variable strength of forest stand attributes and weather conditions on the questing activity of Ixodes ricinus ticks over years in managed forests [PDF]

, 2013
Given the ever-increasing human impact through land use and climate change on the environment, we crucially need to achieve a better understanding of those factors that influence the questing activity of ixodid ticks, a major disease-transmitting vector ...

Babesiosis in cattle and ixodid tick distribution in Dasenech and Salamago Districts, southern Ethiopia

Scientific Reports, 2022
Babesiosis, caused by protozoan parasites of the genus Babesia, and ixodid ticks are considered to be one of the most important causes that result in significant economic losses in cattle production worldwide, including in Ethiopia.
