First report of Ornithodoros peropteryx in Brazil, and the occurrence of Ornithodoros cavernicolous in the western Brazilian Amazon [PDF]

open access: possibleSystematic and Applied Acarology, 2018
More than half of the Brazilian soft ticks (Argasidae) are represented by species associated with bats. Based on a morphological and molecular approach of free-living ticks collected inside two unexplored caves in Rondônia state, western Brazilian Amazon, we report the occurrence of Ornithodoros peropteryx for the first time in Brazil.

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.

Morphological descriptions of the nymph and adults of Ornithodoros clarki, the larva and nymph of Ornithodoros rondoniensis, with notes on their phylogenetic relationships

Systematic Parasitology, 2021
Based on tick specimens collected recently in Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama and Brazil, we provide morphological descriptions of the nymph and adults of Ornithodoros clarki Jones & Clifford, 1972 from the first three countries, and the larva and nymph of Ornithodoros rondoniensis (Labruna, Terassini, Camargo, Brandão, Ribeiro & Estrada-Peña, 2008) from ...

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.

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 ...

Sex Pheromone Regulation of Mating Behavior in the Tick Ornithodoros (Ornithodoros) savignyi (Audouin) (Acari: Argasidae)

Journal of Medical Entomology, 1990
Bioassays performed on Ornithodoros (Ornithodoros) savignyi (Audouin) demonstrated the presence of a female sex pheromone. Unfed adults and fed adults, after various postfeeding periods, were cross-tested. Two independent criteria were used: the percentage of positive male responses and the time elapsed before these responses.

Piroplasmal sporozoites in the Argasid Ornithodoros erraticus (Lucas) [PDF]

open access: possibleExperientia, 1977
The infective forms of Nuttallia meri, a small-mammal piroplasm, first appear as spindle-shaped sporozoites in and around the salivary glands of Ornithodoros erraticus (small race) 30 days after the ticks had fed on infected blood. O. erraticus is the only soft tick so far proved to transmit a piroplasm.
