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.

The complete mitochondrial genome of Haemaphysalis japonica (Ixodida: Ixodidae) [PDF]

Mitochondrial DNA Part B, 2019
The complete mitochondrial genome of Haemaphysalis japonica is reported for the first time in this study. Its entire mitogenome is 14,685 bp in length, containing 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and two non-coding regions. The phylogenetic analysis by Bayesian inference method show that H.
