Pesticide effects of Consolida orientalis extract on larval stage of Argas persicus (Acari: Argasidae)

Persian Journal of Acarology, 2019
The extract of some plants has acaricidal properties that can be used for controlling arthropods. This study reports the effects of Consolida orientalis (Ranunculaceae) extract on the larval stage of Argas persicus (Acari: Argasidae).

Current stewardship practices in invasion biology limit the value and secondary use of genomic data

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 5, July 2025.
Abstract Invasive species threaten native biota, putting fragile ecosystems at risk and having a large‐scale impact on primary industries. Growing trade networks and the popularity of personal travel make incursions a more frequent risk, one only compounded by global climate change.

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.

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 ...

Multiple Introductions of the Asian Longhorned Tick (Haemaphysalis longicornis) to the United States Revealed Using Mitogenomics

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2025.
The Asian longhorned tick, Haemaphysalis longicornis, is a significant global vector and threat to both agriculture and public health. Formerly known only in the Eastern Hemisphere, parthenogenetic ALT have been reported from 20 states across the eastern and central US, with a pattern of expansion suggestive of multiple distinct populations.

Inventory and update on argasid ticks and associated pathogens in Algeria

New Microbes and New Infections, 2018
Argasid ticks include vectors of relapsing fevers caused by Borrelia spp. in humans, and they can transmit arboviruses and other bacterial pathogens. Knowledge about soft ticks (Ixodida: Argasidae) in Algeria is incomplete, and distribution data need to ...

Potential mechanisms implied in tick infection by arboviruses and their transmission to vertebrate hosts

Integrative Zoology, Volume 20, Issue 2, Page 315-330, March 2025.
We summarize the recent progress in understanding defense mechanisms in specific tissues or sites that are encountered by arboviruses and discuss their possible roles in virus infection or transmission. Abstract Ticks can transmit many pathogens, including arboviruses, to their vertebrate hosts.

Novel use of a servosphere to study apodous insects: Investigation of blow fly post‐feeding larval dispersal

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 39, Issue 1, Page 14-21, March 2025.
A servosphere was used to record the speed, directionality and phototaxis of individual post‐feeding larvae of two species of blow fly (Diptera: Calliphoridae) on a smooth plastic surface over time. The servosphere rotates to compensate for the movement of an insect placed at its apex, thereby facilitating its unimpeded locomotion in any direction and ...

Diversity of lice and flea‐ and lice‐borne pathogens in free‐ranging dogs in Uzbekistan

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 39, Issue 1, Page 216-222, March 2025.
Lice (Trichodectes canis, Linognathus africanus and Bovicola bovis) and fleas were collected from dogs across five regions of Uzbekistan and subjected to molecular analysis. Molecular screening detected Dipylidium caninum and Bartonella spp. in fleas, while Rickettsia spp. were identified in both fleas and lice.
