Ticks (Ixodida: Ixodidae) parasitising humans in Uruguay

Annals of Tropical Medicine & Parasitology, 2003
During routine collections between November 1999 and November 2002, three species of tick (Amblyomma tigrinum, Amblyomma triste and Rhipicephalus sanguineus) were found on humans in southern Uruguay. The finding of R. sanguineus and A. triste on humans is of particular concern because these tick species may be involved in the transmission of the ...

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.

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
