Female ixodid ticks grow endocuticle during the rapid phase of engorgement
: Lees (Proc Zool Soc Lond 121: 759-772, 1952) concluded that the ixodid tick Ixodes ricinus grows endocuticle during the slow but not during the rapid, phase of engorgement, a conclusion supported by Andersen and Roepstorff (Insect Biochem Mol Biol 35 ...

Vasoconstriction induced by salivary gland extracts from ixodid ticks [PDF]
In their quest for blood, most haematophagous parasites secrete vasodilators in their saliva to counter the host haemostatic response of vasoconstriction.

Gonadulin and Insulin‐Like Growth Factor Involved in Rhipicephalus microplus Reproduction
Insulin‐like growth factor (IGF2) in ovaries of Rhipicephalus microplus partially engorged females. Ovaries from females at different feeding stages were used to detect IGF2. ABSTRACT Gonadulin and insulin‐like growth factor (IGF) are neuropeptides synthesized by the central nervous system (CNS) of arthropods.

Ticks of four-toed elephant shrews and Southern African hedgehogs
Several studies on ticks infesting small mammals, including elephant shrews, have been conducted in South Africa; however, these studies have included only a single four-toed elephant shrew and no hedgehogs.

Molecular detection of pathogens in an equine fever diagnostic panel: 2019–2023
Abstract Background A common diagnostic approach for febrile horses is to test for a panel of potential pathogens. Panels are curated by expert opinion and vary between diagnostic laboratories. Objectives To report the results of a newly developed equine fever diagnostic panel (EFDP) between 2019 and 2023 and evaluate the frequency of positive results.

ABSTRACT Tick saliva is known to cause immunosuppression and help pathogen transmission. Amblyomma sculptum is a public health concern as a vector of Rickettsia rickettsii. Another close‐related species is Amblyomma cajennense sensu stricto (s.s.). The impact of saliva from these species on murine macrophages remains unclear.

Typing of Borrelia Relapsing Fever Group Strains
Partial sequencing of the 16S-23S rDNA intergenic spacer showed two to four genotypes each for Borrelia hermsii and B. turicatae, both relapsing fever agents transmitted by argasid ticks, and for B. miyamotoi and B. lonestari, transmitted by ixodid ticks.
