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 ...

Reproductive bionomics of the soft tick, Ornithodoros turicata (Acari: Argasidae)
Experimental and Applied Acarology, 1996The 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.

Systematic relationships in the soft ticks (Acari: Ixodida: Argasidae)
Systematic Entomology, 1993Abstract. A phylogenetic analysis of relationships at the generic to subgeneric level is carried out for the family Argasidae. The analysis is based on a total of eighty‐three characters drawn from larval and adult body and leg morphology, Haller's organ morphology ...

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 ...

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 ...
