Ornithodoros turicata (Dugès) on a Feral Hog in Real County, Texas, USA
Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 2022The potential introduction of African swine fever virus (ASFV) into the US has researchers evaluating routes of potential transmission and the establishment of sylvatic cycles. To help document vector-host associations related to ASFV transmission, the finding of O. turicata on a feral hog in Real County, Texas is reported.

Reproductive bionomics of the soft tick, Ornithodoros turicata (Acari: Argasidae)
Experimental and Applied Acarology, 1996The effects of different temperatures and relative humidities (RHs) were tested on various reproductive parameters of Ornithodoros turicata, an argasid tick that inhabits gopher tortoise burrows in Florida, USA. The pre-oviposition, oviposition and incubation periods of the ticks decreased as temperature increased.

A "Ticktorium" for the Propagation of a Colony of Infected Ornithodoros turicata
The Journal of Parasitology, 1940A feasible method of maintaining a laboratory colony of ticks of the genus Ornithodoros is of value not only for a study of the biology of the tick, but also as a means of maintaining the relapsing fever spirochetes for which the tick serves as a vector, and which are difficult if not impossible to cultivate in vitro.

Biological and physiological aspects of blood feeding in nymph and adult Ornithodoros turicata were investigated using an in vitro technique combined with electrophysiological recordings and respirometry. The duration of blood feeding through a Parafilm® membrane was similar (19.2-22.6 min) in both developmental stages.

Burrows of the gopher tortoise, Gopherus polyphemus Daudin, were sampled for Ornithodoros turicata (Dugès) infestation using carbon dioxide baits and vacuum extraction. Ticks were captured, marked, released, and recaptured, and population estimates were made using the Lincoln index. Estimated population ranged from 47 to 1,338 ticks per burrow.

Field studies were conducted to assess the reliability of carbon dioxide baits in sampling Ornithodoros turicata Duges. Tick response to about 50 g of dry ice placed at various distances away from tick-infested burrows was monitored over a 2-h period. In addition, tick attraction to different flow rates of carbon dioxide was monitored.

ABSTRACT Molecular methods to understand host feeding patterns of arthropod vectors are critical to assess exposure risk to vector-borne disease and unveil complex ecological interactions. We build on our prior work discovering the utility of PCR-Sanger sequencing bloodmeal analysis that work remarkably well for soft ...
