Quantification of ASFV DNA and RNA in Ornithodoros Soft Ticks

open access: yes, 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.

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.

The mitochondrial genomes of soft ticks have an arrangement of genes that has remained unchanged for over 400 million years

open access: yesInsect Molecular Biology, 2004
There are two major groups of ticks: soft ticks and hard ticks. The hard ticks comprise the prostriate ticks and the metastriate ticks. The mitochondrial (mt) genomes of one species of prostriate tick and two species of metastriate ticks had been ...

Subolesin/akirin orthologs from Ornithodoros spp. soft ticks: Cloning, RNAi gene silencing and protective effect of the recombinant proteins

open access: yesVeterinary Parasitology, 2012
29 p., 3 tablas, 4 figurasSubolesin/akirin is a well characterized protective antigen highly conserved across vector species and thus potentially useful for the development of a broad-spectrum vaccine for the control of arthropod infestations including ...

Two novel Rickettsia species of soft ticks in North Africa: ‘Candidatus Rickettsia africaseptentrionalis’ and ‘Candidatus Rickettsia mauretanica’

open access: yesTicks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2020
International audienceRickettsia are obligate intracellular bacteria often reported from hard ticks but more rarely from soft ticks. In this study, we detected in Northern Africa two putatively novel Rickettsia species in soft tick species of the ...

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).

On the presence of spermine in the spermatophore of a soft tick

Journal of Insect Physiology, 1980
Abstract In the spermatophore of soft ticks spermine has been found in the semen, as well as in the proteinous sacs, at much higher concentration. The spermine can be seen under the microscope to form needle-like crystals which are shown to be spermine phosphate. This is the first time that spermine has been reported in the Arthropoda.

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.
