Dermacentor variabilis (Ixodida: Ixodidae) in Panama: report associated with tourism [PDF]

Journal of Vector Ecology, 2010
Ticks are the principal vectors of several pathogenic agents in animals and can transmit disease agents to humans (Dantas-Torres et al. 2009). The global tourism industry, international pet commerce, and the general expansion of international travel have facilitated the transportation of ticks to new localities outside their natural distributions.

Anomalous phenology of Ixodes scapularis (Ixodida: Ixodidae) in Mississippi

Journal of Medical Entomology, 2023
Abstract The blacklegged tick, Ixodes scapularis Say, is one of the most important vectors of tick-borne disease agents in North America. Accordingly, it is crucial to know this species local composition, abundance, and seasonality (phenology) to help prevent tick-borne illnesses. The phenology of adult I.

Development of a DNA barcoding system for the Ixodida (Acari: Ixodida)

Mitochondrial DNA, 2013
To control the spread of tick-borne diseases, there is an urgent need to develop a reliable technique that can distinguish different species of ticks. DNA barcoding has been proved to be a powerful tool to identify species of arthropods, but this technique has not yet been developed for identifying ticks.

Ixodes chilensis (Acari: Ixodida: Ixodidae) in Argentina

Veterinary Parasitology: Regional Studies and Reports
The aim of this note is to report the first record of Ixodes chilensis Kohl, 1956 in Argentina. In June 2023, ticks were collected on bat belonging to the genus Histiotus from Dina Huapí, Rio Negro Province, Patagonian region, Argentina. Based on morphological characteristics and analysis of an obtained partial 16S rDNA gene sequence, these ticks (five

Morphological abnormalities and multiple mitochondrial clades of Rhipicephalus haemaphysaloides (Ixodida: Ixodidae)

Experimental and Applied Acarology, 2022
Rhipicephalus haemaphysaloides is endemic in South and Southeast Asia, and it is known to parasitise domestic animals such as cattle, horses, sheep, and dogs. Despite infestation on multiple hosts, little attention has been paid to its morphological and molecular variation.

Integrative taxonomy and species delimitation of Rhipicephalus turanicus (Acari: Ixodida: Ixodidae)

International Journal for Parasitology, 2020
Rhipicephalus turanicus ticks are widely distributed across the Palearctic and Afrotropics. These two continental populations display differences in morphological characters that raise the question of a potential species boundary. However, the taxonomic status of these morphologically divergent lineages is uncertain because R. turanicus from Cyprus and

Journal of Medical Entomology
Abstract Ticks of the Amblyomma maculatum (Ixodida Ixodidae) complex, the Amblyomma cajennense (Ixodida Ixodidae) complex and Amblyomma ovale (Ixodida Ixodidae) are known to transmit various Rickettsia species in Colombia, but their exact distribution is unknown.

Detection in Malaysia of a Borrelia sp. From Haemaphysalis hystricis (Ixodida: Ixodidae)

Journal of Medical Entomology, 2017
Spirochetes from the Borrelia genus are known to cause diseases in humans, namely Lyme disease and relapsing fever. These organisms are commonly transmitted to humans by arthropod vectors including ticks, mite, and lice. Here, we report the molecular detection of a Borrelia sp.
