Begging and ectoparasite attraction [PDF]

, 2016
Honesty of offspring begging behaviours is the keystone to understanding the evolution of parent eoffspring communication. Three main begging costs have been traditionally advocated that ensure the reliability of offspring signalling: energy ...

Ornithodoros moubata: Spermateleosis and secretory activity of the sperm [PDF]

Experimental Parasitology, 1985
Cytological aspects of spermateleosis in the tick Ornithodoros moubata were studied by electron microscopy. During spermateleosis, detachment of the operculum from the outer sheath of the prospermium results from the fusion of the plasma and the cisternal membranes.

Detection of relapsing fever Borrelia spp., Bartonella spp. and Anaplasmataceae bacteria in argasid ticks in Algeria. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2017
Argasid ticks (soft ticks) are blood-feeding arthropods that can parasitize rodents, birds, humans, livestock and companion animals. Ticks of the Ornithodoros genus are known to be vectors of relapsing fever borreliosis in humans.

Microbiota‐driven vaccination in soft ticks: Implications for survival, fitness and reproductive capabilities in Ornithodoros moubata

Molecular Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 18, September 2024.
Abstract The Ornithodoros moubata (Om) soft tick, a vector for diseases like tick‐borne human relapsing fever and African swine fever, poses challenges to conventional control methods. With diminishing insecticide efficacy, harnessing the tick's microbiota through innovative approaches like microbiota‐driven vaccination emerges as a promising strategy ...

Acaricidal activity of fluralaner against Ornithodoros moubata and Ornithodoros erraticus argasid ticks evaluated through in vitro feeding [PDF]

Veterinary Parasitology, 2017
Ornithodoros erraticus and Ornithodoros moubata are argasid tick vectors that transmit severe diseases such as African swine fever and human relapsing fever. Elimination of the synanthropic populations of these vectors would facilitate the control of these diseases. Fluralaner is a novel isoxazoline that selectively blocks the GABA- and glutamate-gated

Experimental design impacts the vector competence of Ornithodoros ticks for African swine fever virus: a meta-analysis of published evaluations

Peer Community Journal
African Swine Fever (ASF) is a highly economically devastating viral disease for swine. Soft ticks of the genus Ornithodoros are involved in its epidemiology, as vectors and natural reservoirs of African Swine Fever Virus (ASFV). The vector competence of

Successful Infection of Domestic Pigs by Ingestion of the European Soft Tick O. Erraticus That Fed on African Swine Fever Virus Infected Pig

Viruses, 2020
African swine fever is a highly lethal hemorrhagic fever of Suidae, threatening pig production globally. Suidae can be infected by different ways like ingestion of contaminated feed, direct contact with infected animals or fomites, and biting by infected

Reassessment of the genetic basis of natural rifampin resistance in the genus Rickettsia

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 13, Issue 4, August 2024.
Contrary to previous studies, the natural resistance of Rickettsia, a genus of intracellular bacteria, to the antibiotic rifampin is not solely due to the Leu‐973 residue in the RNA polymerase β subunit. Abstract Rickettsia, a genus of obligate intracellular bacteria, includes species that cause significant human diseases.
