New records of rare Ornithodoros (Acari: Argasidae) species in caves of the Brazilian Amazon

Persian Journal of Acarology, 2015
The genus Ornithodoros is worldwide distributed and features 113 known species. However, some species are rare and collections are scarce. The present paper expands the known distribution of two species of soft ticks, O. rondoniensis and O. marinkellei,

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.

Shrubs and trees as natural insect protection for grazing animals in Switzerland and the alpine region: A systematic review of in vitro, in vivo and clinical trials Sträucher und Bäume als natürlicher Insektenschutz für Weidetiere in der Schweiz und im Alpenraum: Eine systematische Literaturübersicht über in vitro‐, in vivo‐ und klinische Studien

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Biting or irritating insects are a threat to the health and welfare of grazing animals. This systematic review reveals that several shrubs and bushes growing in the alpine area have insecticidal, insect‐repellent and/or attractant properties. The alder Alnus glutinosa, juniper Juniperus communis, spruce Picea abies and walnut Juglans regia are ...

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.

Methods of protection against ticks (Acari: Ixodida)

Annales Universitatis Paedagogicae Cracoviensis Studia Naturae, 2019
Kleszcze (Acari: Ixodida) należą do roztoczy, pasożytujących najczęściej na gadach, ptakach i ssakach. Ze względu na znaczenie epidemiologiczne, epizootiologiczne, jak również bezpośrednią szkodliwość wśród ludzi i zwierząt, zaliczają się do jednych z ...

Ixodidae

, 2023
The tick family Ixodidae is represented by 752 species and 17 genera (two genera are fossil). A total of 137 species are present in the Neotropics, most of them (about 100) endemic to this region. From all the genera distributed in the Neotropics, Amblyomma Koch, 1844 is the one with highest specific diversity.

Tick‐Borne Viruses in Finland: Public Health Risks, Interventions and Research Insights

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 6, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Ticks are obligate haematophagous arthropods that serve as vectors for diverse pathogens, including viruses, bacteria and protozoa. In Finland, the two primary tick species, Ixodes ricinus (castor bean tick) and Ixodes persulcatus (taiga tick), have been identified in the transmission of tick‐borne viruses (TBV), notably tick‐borne ...

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
