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 ...

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.

Abstract Lipocalins are low molecular weight membrane transporters that are abundantly expressed in the salivary glands and other tissues of ticks. In this study, we identified a lipocalin‐like molecule, designated as otlip , from the soft ticks ...

In 1949, one of us (L.M.) reported the transmission of Borrelia dugesii by Ornithodoros turicata. As Ornithodoros dugesi is the normal tick vector of this spirochete, this was the first reported major break in the specific tick-spirochete relationship in the Western Hemisphere. In 1952, the senior author of this report requested a strain of B.

Ticks (Class Arachnida: Order Ixodida) are obligatory ectoparasites with diverse vertebrate host groups and vectors of more than 35 human and zoonotic pathogens, which causes untold economic damages. For the past several decades, applications of ecological principles based on tick-host-pathogen interactions have led to the development of effective and ...
