Distribution and phenology of ixodid ticks in southern Zambia [PDF]

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, 2002
Abstract Distribution data for epidemiologically important ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) in the Southern Province of Zambia, one of the main cattle areas of the country, are presented. Boophilus microplus (Canestrini) was not recorded in southern Zambia, whereas

Automated identification of spotted‐fever tick vectors using convolutional neural networks

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 39, Issue 4, Page 829-841, December 2025.
We evaluate the performance of convolutional neural networks (CNN) AlexNet, ResNet‐50 and MobileNetV2 for the automated identification of tick species capable of transmitting spotted fever. CNNs achieved accuracy rates of ~90% in identifying ticks and showed sensitivities of 59%–100% according to species, sex, position or image resolution.

SOME EPIZOOTOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF DISTRIBUTION OF CATTLE IXODIDOSIS IN DIFFERENT LANDSCAPE ZONES OF DAGESTAN

Российский паразитологический журнал, 2016
Distribution and seasonal activity of ixodid ticks in various landscape zones of Dagestan is studied. During investigation of ixodid fauna in cattle we took into account the intensity of infection and index of abundance. After examination of50 animals in

The impact of climate change on the expansion of Ixodes persulcatus habitat and the incidence of tick-borne encephalitis in the north of European Russia

Global Health Action, 2011
The increase in tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) incidence is observed in recent decades in a number of subarctic countries. The reasons of it are widely discussed in scientific publications.

A STRUCTURE ON THE TARSI OF IXODID TICKS [PDF]

Australian Journal of Entomology, 1965
AbstractObservations are reported on a structure on the dorsal surface of tarsi II, III and IV in five species of ixodid ticks. The possibility that the structure is a sense organ is discussed.

Stable isotope analysis of ectoparasites as a tool for understanding trophic interactions with mammalian hosts

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 39, Issue 4, Page 664-674, December 2025.
Ectoparasites showed significant δ15N enrichment compared to their hosts, indicating trophic enrichment, but δ13C preservation varied. Lice, fleas and ticks preserve their hosts' isotopic fingerprints to varying degrees, with lice reflecting host dietary patterns most closely, likely due to their exclusive, host‐specific feeding behaviour. The presence

Neural control of salivary glands in ixodid ticks [PDF]

Journal of Insect Physiology, 2012
Studies of tick salivary glands (SGs) and their components have produced a number of interesting discoveries over the last four decades. However, the precise neural and physiological mechanisms controlling SG secretion remain enigmatic. Major studies of SG control have identified and characterized many pharmacological and biological compounds that ...

Harnessing 50 years of tick population genetics: Choosing the right molecular tool for contemporary research

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 94, Issue 11, Page 2159-2177, November 2025.
Population genetics reveals how ticks interact with hosts, microbiomes and environments. This review guides researchers in choosing the best tool for the job, weighing cost, resolution, reproducibility and throughput to study tick population structure. Abstract Ticks are ectoparasites of major medical, veterinary and ecological importance, transmitting

Risk for Human Tick-Borne Encephalitis, Borrelioses, and Double Infection in the Pre-Ural Region of Russia

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2001
We assessed the risk for human tick-borne encephalitis (TBE), ixodid tick-borne borrelioses, and double infection from 1994 to 1998 in Perm, which has among the highest rates of reported cases in Russia.
