The Ticks (Arachnida: Acari: Ixodida) of Arkansas [PDF]

, 2016
Although ticks are a nuisance to humans and other animals, they are an important part of the biota of North America. In addition, they are vectors of many tick-borne disease agents that can negatively affect higher vertebrates.

Alpha‐Gal, epitope responsible for allergy to red meat, in the Mediterranean tick Hyalomma lusitanicum

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 38, Issue 3, Page 366-371, September 2024.
The presence of α‐Gal epitope ( was confirmed by the presence of reactive proteins of >250 kDa in samples from engorged and unfed H. lusitanicum ticks. The highest concentrations of α‐Gal were detected in salivary glands. Neither sex nor diet influenced the concentration of α‐Gal, which seems to indicate its endogenous production and its possible ...

Coincident Tick Infestations in the Nostrils of Wild Chimpanzees and a Human in Uganda [PDF]

, 2013
Ticks in the nostrils of humans visiting equatorial African forests have been reported sporadically for decades, but their taxonomy and natural history have remained obscure. We report human infestation with a nostril tick in Kibale National Park, Uganda,

Insect–microbe interactions and their influence on organisms and ecosystems

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2024.
Insect‐symbiont interactions can have a variety of impacts on organisms and the ecosystem. These multitrophic interactions can result in differential attraction of beneficial insects or natural enemies. Additinoally, these interactions can influence plant and/or soil health as well as microbiome composition.

Assessment of four DNA fragments (COI, 16S rDNA, ITS2, 12S rDNA) for species identification of the Ixodida (Acari: Ixodida)

Parasites & Vectors, 2014
Background The 5’ region of cytochrome oxidase I (COI) is the standard marker for DNA barcoding. However, COI has proved to be of limited use in identifying some species, and for some taxa, the coding sequence is not efficiently amplified by PCR.

Estimating pathogen‐spillover risk using host–ectoparasite interactions

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2024.
Understanding the interacting factors that lead to pathogen transmission in a zoonotic cycle could help identify novel hosts of pathogens and the patterns that lead to disease emergence. We use parasite ecology, phylogenetics, and geography to predict known and unknown hosts of hantavirus.

Ticks (Ixodida) from the collection of the Natural History Department, Museum of Upper Silesia in Bytom, Poland – A contribution to knowledge on tick fauna and the first record of Hyalomma marginatum presence in Poland

Annals of Agricultural and Environmental Medicine, 2016
There is no doubt that museum collections provide a wide variety of information on ticks. The tick collection at the Natural History Department of the Museum of Upper Silesia in Bytom consists only of 37 specimens as the department is focused mainly on ...

Host sweet host: Rodent communities support similar ectoparasite diversity regardless of anthropogenic disturbance

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 148, Issue 5, Page 537-552, June 2024.
Abstract Rodents are important hosts for ectoparasites, such as fleas, ticks, and mites, which means they are also important intermediate hosts for many zoonotic diseases. As anthropogenic environments bring humans and rodents into closer contact, an understanding of host–ectoparasite ecology is essential to predict and manage disease spillover risks ...
