Journal of Avian Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 3, May 2025.Ticks are blood‐feeding parasites which act as major vectors for various pathogenic microorganisms affecting both animal and human health. Hard ticks are known to move passively (i.e. ‘hitchhike') on migratory birds as they transit between breeding and non‐breeding grounds.

A microRNA profile of saliva and the role of miR-375 in Haemaphysalis longicornis (Ixodida: Ixodidae) [PDF]
Parasites & Vectors, 2019 Tick saliva contains many bioactive molecules that are involved in attachment to the host, blood-feeding and transmission of pathogens. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of short non-coding RNAs with a length of 19-24 nucleotides. They act as regulators of gene expression by binding to their target mRNA at the post-transcriptional level and control a ...

Journal of Avian Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 3, May 2025.Interactions between wild birds and ticks exert significant selective forces, influencing the host's evolution and fitness. Tick infestation rates vary among bird species due to life history and morphology. Understanding tick infestation probability is crucial for conservation efforts, as birds play an important role in the tick life cycle and can ...

Oikos, Volume 2025, Issue 5, May 2025.Seabird health is linked to their marine and terrestrial environments, but health–environment relationships are rarely described. Parasites are common among seabird colonies, however reductions to seabird health may occur if the delicate parasite–host relationship is imbalanced.

Amblyomma auricularium(Ixodida: Ixodidae) in Florida: New Hosts and Distribution Records [PDF]
Journal of Medical Entomology, 2016 Previous published evidence for the occurrence of an exotic armadillo tick, Amblyomma auricularium (Conil), in Florida is scant, but we found it is fully established and integrated into the state's tick fauna. We collected 11,192 specimens of this tick from naturalized nine-banded armadillos, Dasypus novemcinctus L., and 14 other species of wild native

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 72, Issue 3, Page 313-323, May 2025.ABSTRACT Introduction Humans acquire tick‐borne pathogens (TBPs) from infected ticks contacted during outdoor activities. Outdoor activity is at its highest in urban green spaces, where the presence of tick populations has increasingly been observed. Consequently, more insight into factors influencing the presence of ticks therein is needed.

A transcriptome-based phylogenetic study of hard ticks (Ixodidae)
Scientific Reports, 2019 Hard ticks are widely distributed across temperate regions, show strong variation in host associations, and are potential vectors of a diversity of medically important zoonoses, such as Lyme disease.
