An overview on Sardinia’s soft ticks (Ixodida: Argasidae)
Experimental and Applied Acarology, 2016Knowledge 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.

On the presence of spermine in the spermatophore of a soft tick
Journal of Insect Physiology, 1980Abstract 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.

An Overview of Hard and Soft Ticks and Their Control Methods
2021Ticks are important ectoparasites of livestock in tropical and sub-tropical countries. They are responsible for the enormous economic losses both through the direct effects of blood sucking and indirectly as vectors of disease pathogens and toxins. Morphologically, ticks are classified into two families known as Ixodidae (hard ticks) and Argasidae ...

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 ...

Bat-associated soft tick Carios vespertilionis in Belarus
Veterinary Parasitology: Regional Studies and ReportsThe soft tick Carios vespertilionis is a nidicolous ectoparasite of bats with a wide Old World distribution, yet its occurrence in Belarus remains poorly documented. This study provides the first detailed account of C. vespertilionis in Belarus based on field surveys conducted between 2020 and 2023, supplemented by two additional records from a private

Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 2006
A yellow-pigmented Gram-negative bacterium, Chryseobacterium indologenes, was found in the gut contents of about 65% of soft ticks Ornithodoros moubata from a perishing laboratory colony. The isolated putative pathogen, C. indologenes, was susceptible to cotrimoxazol and addition of this antibiotic (Biseptol 480) to the blood meal significantly ...

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.

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.
