Hyperparasitism in Ornithodoros erraticus

The Journal of Parasitology, 1983
Hyperparasitism is common in laboratory colonies of Egyptian Ornithodoros erraticus whether the ticks are on or off the rodent host. Sex, recent engorgement, and size appear to be major factors in this feeding relationship. Males, and nymphs that produced males (N-male), parasitized females and nymphs that produced females (N-female) more frequently ...

Antigens of Interest for the Diagnosis of Parasitism in Pigs by Ornithodoros erraticus and Ornithodoros moubata

The Journal of Parasitology, 1997
We show by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and western blot that the composition of the soluble extracts of salivary glands (SGE-2) of Ornithodoros erraticus and Ornithodoros moubata is similar to that of the saliva (pilocarpine-induced), and that the extracts are a valid source of antigens for the detection of anti-argasid ...

Ornithodoros moubata: Breeding in vitro

Experimental Parasitology, 1977
Abstract In vitro breeding of Ornithodoros moubata (Murray) was achieved by feeding the ticks on defibrinated porcine and bovine blood through bat's wing membrane. On either type of blood, the life cycle was completed and the ticks reached equal weights and consumed equal meals.

Genus Ornithodoros Koch, 1844

Parasitism of Larval Ixodes Ticks by Chigger Mites and Fed Female Ornithodoros Ticks by Ornithodoros Males

The Journal of Parasitology, 1986
tapeworms; Pappas (1981, loc. cit.) used 12-dayold tapeworms; while Pappas (1984, loc. cit.) and the current study used 6-day-old tapeworms), or different species of intermediate hosts. It has been shown that tapeworms of different ages differ physiologically and/or biochemically (e.g., Mettrick and Cannon, 1970, Parasitology 61: 229243; Watts and ...

Ultrastructure of salivary glands ofOrnithodoros (Ornithodoros) moubata(Ixodoidea: Argasidae)

Journal of Morphology, 1985
AbstractThe paired salivary glands of unfed adultOrnithodoros (Ornithodoros) moubataare composed of type I (agranular) and type II (granular) alveoli. Type I alveoli consis of one large central cell surrounded by peripheral cells having the morphology of fluid‐transporting epithelia.
