The Nontransmission of the Relapsing Fever Spirochete, Borrelia dugesii (Mazzotti, 1949) by the Argasid Tick Ornithodoros turicata (Duges, 1876)

The Journal of Parasitology, 1953
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.

Habitat - Host - Vector Interactions of Ornithodoros turicata Dugès (Ixodida: Argasidae) in Texas, USA

2017
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 ...

Life-history metrics of Ornithodoros turicata (Acari: Argasidae) fed exclusively on swine blood through an artificial membrane system

Journal of Medical Entomology
Abstract Ornithodoros turicata (Dugès) originating from Texas was reared under laboratory conditions by feeding each post-embryonic stage defibrinated swine blood through an artificial system using Parafilm M without the use of phagostimulants or blood treatments.

Vertical transmission of Borrelia turicatae (Spirochaetales: Borreliaceae ) by autogenously reproducing Ornithodoros turicata (Ixodida: Argasidae) female naturally infected with the spirochetes.

bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology
Ornithodoros turicata is a vector of relapsing fever (RF) spirochetes in North America and transmits Borrelia turicatae to a variety of vertebrate hosts. The remarkably long lifespan of O. turicata and its ability to maintain spirochetes horizontally (between life stages) and vertically to progeny promotes the perpetuation of B.
