Climate influences on reproduction and immunity in the soft tick, Ornithodoros moubata.

Climate, ticks and disease, 2021
This expert opinion considers the physiological processes regulating reproduction and immune responses in the soft tick, Ornithodoros moubata, and the potential impact of climate change.

Photoperiodic response in the soft tick, Ornithodoros turicata

International Journal for Parasitology, 1996
The effects of photoperiod on the feeding, development and quiescent behavior of the burrow-dwelling soft tick, Ornithodoros turicata (Dugès) were investigated. Ticks were assigned randomly to either continuous darkness (DD), a short-day photoperiod (L:D 10:14), a long-day photoperiod (L:D 14:10) or constant light (LL).

An overview on Sardinia’s soft ticks (Ixodida: Argasidae)

Experimental and Applied Acarology, 2016
Knowledge about soft ticks (Ixodida: Argasidae) in Sardinia is incomplete and distribution data need to be updated. This work studies soft ticks on the island focusing on two species, Argas reflexus and Ornithodoros maritimus, both recently recorded. A total number of 12 specimens of these species of interest were collected between 2004 and 2015.

Quantification of ASFV DNA and RNA in Ornithodoros Soft Ticks

2022
Molecular biology methods are highly sensitive to detect the genome of pathogens and to study their biology. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and reverse transcription followed by a polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) permit the detection of the presence and the replication of African swine fever virus in soft ticks.

Mosquitoes and soft ticks cannot transmit Lyme disease spirochetes

Parasitology Research, 2002
Investigators 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.

A New Ligation Technique for Soft Ticks (Acari: Argasidae)

Journal of Medical Entomology, 1988
A 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.

Leptus (Leptus) simonettae Haitlinger, 2000 (Trombidiformes: Erythraeidae) parasitizing a soft tick (Ixodida: Argasidae) in Brazil

International Journal of Acarology, 2019
Leptus Latreille is the most diverse genus of Erythraeidae Robineau-Desvoidy, with 275 species (based on larval stage) worldwide described. Their larval stage parasitizes different species of arthropods.

Respiratory metabolism of the soft tick, Ornithodoros turicata (Dug�s)

Experimental and Applied Acarology, 1995
The 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 ...

Reproductive bionomics of the soft tick, Ornithodoros turicata (Acari: Argasidae)

Experimental and Applied Acarology, 1996
The 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.
