A New Ligation Technique for Soft Ticks (Acari: Argasidae)
Journal of Medical Entomology, 1988A new technique is described for the ligation of soft ticks using standard office staples. The technique was applied to Ornithodoros parkeri . The method is simple and easy; it results in complete separation of the tick body and causes low mortality.

Respiratory metabolism of the soft tick, Ornithodoros turicata (Dug�s)
Experimental and Applied Acarology, 1995The rate of oxygen consumption was investigated in fed larval, nymphal and adult Ornithodoros turicata ticks and in starved nymphal and adult ticks. Oxygen consumption rate of fed adult ticks increased with increasing temperature. The metabolic rate of adult ticks was affected by starvation whereby starved adult ticks showed a significantly lower ...

Sound as a host-detection cue for the soft tick Ornithodoros concanensis
Nature, 1977Two parasitic flies are attracted to their invertebrate hosts by sound: a tachinid, Euphasiopteryx ochracea, is attracted to field crickets by their song1 and a sarcophagid, Colcondamyia auditrix, orients acoustically to cicada song2. We now report that an acarine, the argasid tick Ornithodoros concanensis, makes use of the vocal sounds of a vertebrate

Mosquitoes and soft ticks cannot transmit Lyme disease spirochetes
Parasitology Research, 2002Investigators frequently assume that the discovery of a pathogen in a blood-feeding arthropod provides conclusive proof that these arthropods participate in the enzootic cycle of that pathogen. This assumption may lead to the conclusion that soft ticks and mosquitoes are vectors of the agent of Lyme disease, Borrelia bugdorferi sensu lato.

On the Origin of soft ticks (Parasitiformes, Ixodoidea, Argasidae)
ПаразитологияThe origin of the common evolutionary branch of soft and hard ticks is dated to the later Permian, approximately coinciding with the Permian extinction, and divergence of the common branch of Ixodoidea into ancestral forms of Argasidae and Ixodidae occurred in the Triassic.

Copulation and Spermatophore Formation in Soft and Hard Ticks
1973The reproduction i.e., copulation, fertilization and oviposition aroused the interest of acarologists already at the beginning of this century (Samson, 1909; Nuttall and Merriman, 1911). However, these processes in ticks are so unusual and different from those in other groups of Arthropods, that even continued research by Robinson (1942), Wagner ...
