Copy Number Variation‐Based Molecular Sexing of Ixodes scapularis and Rhipicephalus microplus Immature Stages Using qPCR and ddPCR Approaches

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 11, November 2026.
We developed and validated a copy number variation (CNV)‐based molecular method to accurately determine the sex of immature ticks, Ixodes scapularis and Rhipicephalus microplus, which lack morphological sexual dimorphism. Using qPCR and ddPCR assays targeting female‐enriched genes, sex was reliably identified from DNA extracted non‐destructively from a

Spatiotemporal dynamics of Amblyomma americanum abundance and infection prevalence across a subcontinental scale

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Tick dynamics and tick infection prevalence are influenced directly by climate conditions (e.g., temperature, precipitation) and indirectly by mast seeding patterns of trees that influence the abundance of tick hosts such as small mammals. Tick and tick‐borne disease dynamic studies have been done primarily at local scales, which represent a ...

The Roles of Contrasting Host Types on the Environmental Abundance of Anaplasma phagocytophilum, an Emerging Zoonotic Pathogen

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
In this study, we analysed data collected at 40 sites in the Northwest of Scotland (from 2018 to 2020) to quantify the relative contributions of hypothesised pathogen transmission hosts (deer and sheep) and non‐transmission hosts (birds and rodents) on the environmental abundance of ecotypes I and II of Anaplasma phagocytophilum. Our results add to our

Grass species and climatic season impact on Rhipicephalus microplus temporal abundance in a tropical region

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 8950-8962, September 2026.
The interaction between grass species and climatic season shapes the population dynamics of the cattle tick, Rhipicephalus microplus. This information highlights the potential of forage species to influence off‐host tick dynamics. Additionally, minimum temperature and minimum relative humidity were the most influential microclimatic predictors of ...

Household‐Based Epidemiology of Bovine Ixodid Tick Infestation and Associated Risk Factors in Endamehoni, Raya‐Azebo and Enderta Districts, Tigray Region, Northern Ethiopia

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 5, September 2026.
Tick infestation affected 41.5% of cattle in Tigray, with Rhipicephalus species predominating. Infestation was strongly associated with poor housing, poor body condition and management practices, whereas limited awareness of tick‐borne diseases highlights the need for targeted control strategies informed by species‐specific attachment‐site preferences.

Sequencing of complete mitochondrial genomes confirms synonymization of Hyalomma asiaticum asiaticum and kozlovi, and advances phylogenetic hypotheses for the Ixodidae. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Phylogeny of hard ticks (Ixodidae) remains unresolved. Mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) are increasingly used to resolve phylogenetic controversies, but remain unavailable for the entire large Hyalomma genus.

An account of the ticks of the Northeastern of Spain (Acarina: Ixodidae) [PDF]

Annales de Parasitologie Humaine et Comparée, 1992
The tick species commonly collected at the Northeast of Spain are reported in this paper. Data on hosts, temperature and humidity requirements, vegetation relationships, altitudinal distribution, and seasonal activity are included. R. sanguineus is commonly collected in areas with Mediterranean vegetation, esteppe, and semi-desertic esteppe, ranging ...
