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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

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.

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.

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 ...
