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.

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

Today, 61 species belonging to nine genera (Argas (1 sp.), Antricola (3 spp.), Carios (10 spp.), Ornithodoros (3 spp.), Amblyomma (30 spp.), Dermacentor (1 sp.), Haemaphysalis (3 spp.), Ixodes (8 spp.), and Rhipicephalus (2 spp.)) are regarded as endemic or established in Brazil. The presence of 11 species

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

Impact of climate change on the geographical distribution of ticks of public health significance in Colombia: Amblyomma ovale (Ixodida: Ixodidae), the Amblyomma maculatum (Ixodida: Ixodidae) complex and the Amblyomma cajennense (Ixodida: Ixodidae) complex

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.

Does Aponomma varanensis (Acari: Ixodida: Ixodidae) Occur on the Taiwanese Mainland?

The Journal of Parasitology, 1996
On 15 July 1976, teams from the U.S. Naval Medical Research Unit No. 2, Taipei, Taiwan, made 3 collections of ticks from beneath the dorsal scales of the Taiwan stink snake, Elaphe carinata, at Makung in the Penghu Islands, which lie astride the Tropic of Cancer in the Taiwan Strait between southern mainland China and Taiwan proper.
