Argasid Ticks of Palearctic Bats: Distribution, Host Selection, and Zoonotic Importance

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021
The soft ticks (Ixodida: Argasidae) are ectoparasites of terrestrial vertebrates with a wide geographic distribution, occurring on all continents. These ticks are obligate blood-feeders, most of them show high degrees of host-specialization and several ...

Terminal Genome Sequences of the Soft Tick Bunyavirus

Microbiology Resource Announcements, 2020
The complete genome sequence of the soft tick bunyavirus (STBV) was obtained using the Sanger sequencing technique. Comparison with other viral sequences revealed that STBV has unique sequences in the terminal regions that are highly conserved among the genus Orthonairovirus .

Identification of Host Bloodmeal Source in Ornithodoros turicata Dugès (Ixodida: Argasidae) Using DNA-Based and Stable Isotope-Based Techniques

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021
The ecology and host feeding patterns of many soft ticks (Ixodida: Argasidae) remain poorly understood. To address soft tick–host feeding associations, we fed Ornithodoros turicata Dugès on multiple host species and evaluated quantitative PCR (qPCR) and ...
