On the spermatophore of ixodid ticks

Journal of Insect Physiology, 1983
Abstract Structure and formation of the spermatophore and the extrusion of its contents in ixodid ticks were studied. The structure of the ectospermatophore resembles that of argasid ticks, whereas that of the endospermatophore differs completely; it is composed of several organelles which are absent in argasids.

Copulation in Ixodid Ticks

The Journal of Parasitology, 1971
Copulation of Hyalomma excavatum and Rhipicephalus sanguineus belonging to the Metastriata group of the Ixodidae has been studied. Methods of observation and inducing copulation off the host are described. Similarities and differences in male behavior of the Ixodidae have been compared with Argasidae. It has been found that the pattern of copulation in

Identification of an anellovirus and genomoviruses in ixodid ticks

Virus Genes, 2017
Ticks are blood-feeding arachnids that are vectors of several important human and animal pathogens. Little is known about single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) viruses that are associated with these ectoparasites. As part of a pilot study to identify ssDNA viruses present in ticks, female American dog ticks (Dermacentor variabilis) and blacklegged ticks (Ixodes ...

Ixodid ticks in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Experimental and Applied Acarology, 2010
Ticks of the Ixodidae family represent an enormous threat to human and animal health. From January to December 2004, a total of 10,050 ixodid ticks were collected from 26 areas in Bosnia and Herzegovina and determined to the species level. Ticks were collected from dogs, sheep, cows, goats, rodents, humans and plants.

IXODID TICKS ON FERAL SWINE IN FLORIDA

Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 1984
More than 99% of the 645 feral swine (Sus scrofa L.) in southern Florida harbored ixodid ticks. Dermacentor variabilis (American dog tick) was present on 99.6% of the swine and comprised 82.5% of the ticks collected. Amblyomma maculatum (Gulf Coast tick) occurred on 85.9% of the hosts and 17.4% of the collections were of this species.

[Ixodid ticks and rickettsia].

Trudy Instituta imeni Pastera, 1995
Ixodid ticks are an important link in the ecology of rickettsiae. Some tick species became specific vectors as well as reservoirs of certain species of rickettsiae ensuring their long lasting maintenance via interstadial and transovarial transmission often over generations in nature.

Variation in genome size of argasid and ixodid ticks

Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2007
The suborder Ixodida includes many tick species of medical and veterinary importance, but little is known about the genomic characteristics of these ticks. We report the first study to determine genome size in two species of Argasidae (soft ticks) and seven species of Ixodidae (hard ticks) using flow cytometry analysis of fluorescent stained nuclei ...

Molecular characterization of the major hemelipoglycoprotein in ixodid ticks

Insect Molecular Biology, 2008
Abstract The major hemelipoglyco‐carrier protein (CP) found throughout the development of male and female adult American dog ticks, Dermacentor variabilis (Say) was sequenced. DvCP is a single transcript coding for two protein subunits that together contain three motifs: (1)

Ixodid ticks avoid contact with liquid water

Journal of Experimental Biology, 1999
ABSTRACT Larvae of the cattle tick Boophilus microplus and all life stages of the European sheep tick Ixodes ricinus avoid walking on a wet membrane surface surrounding a dry patch. Of 170 reactions made at a border with liquid water by 22 B.
