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

open access: yesPersian 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).

Disc mower versus bar mower: Evaluation of the direct effects of two common mowing techniques on the grassland arthropod fauna

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 2, Page 360-370, February 2025.
Our findings suggest that mowing in general has a negative impact on abundant arthropod groups in grassland, regardless of the method used. Tractor‐driven double‐blade bar mowers do not seem to be a truly insect‐friendly alternative to a conventional disc mower.

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

open access: yesParasites & 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.

Establishing Historical Baselines of Arthropod Assemblages Using Rodent Paleomiddens

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 34, Issue 2, February 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Arthropods are under‐represented in paleoecological studies but are critical agents in ecological processes. Despite rigorous documentation of diverse arthropod assemblages from ancient rodent (or paleo) middens worldwide, their use for studying ancient arthropod diversity has stalled in recent decades. Here, we review published studies to

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

open access: yesAnnals 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 ...

Ticks and tick‐borne pathogens in selected abattoirs and a slaughter slab in Kumasi, Ghana

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 10, Issue 5, September 2024.
•Amblyomma variegatum was the predominant tick species. •Zoonotic pathogens R. africae, R. aeschlimannii, C. burnetii and CCHFV were identified. •Abattoir workers are at risk of zoonotic infections. Abstract Background Ticks are vectors of pathogens that affect the health of animals and humans. With the constant trade of livestock across borders, there

Inventory and update on argasid ticks and associated pathogens in Algeria

open access: yesNew 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 ...

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

open access: yesMedical 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 ...
