CYTOGENETIC DETECTION OF INFECTIOUS AGENTS IN IXODID TICKS
Aim: To test whether the cytogenetic techniques can be used for detection of infectious agents in ixodid ticks. Materials and Methods: Suspensions of ixodid ticks were tested for encephalitis virus (TBEV) and pathogenic Borrelia (PB ...

Both active and passive questing ticks, Hyalomma excavatum and Ixodes ricinus, were assessed for behavioural responses to two novel plant‐derived repellent volatile organic compound blends. Both tick species were repelled by the products, and both novo blends were significantly more repellent than currently available commercial products.

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.

Longistatin, a plasminogen activator, is key to the availability of blood-meals for ixodid ticks. [PDF]
Ixodid ticks are notorious blood-sucking ectoparasites and are completely dependent on blood-meals from hosts. In addition to the direct severe effects on health and productivity, ixodid ticks transmit various deadly diseases to humans and animals ...
