Maternal Care in the Soft Tick Antricola marginatus
Journal of Parasitology, 2012 Among spiders, scorpions, and whip spiders, a common type of maternal care consists of females carrying newly hatched offspring on their body for a few days until they are able to live independently. While this maternal care has been suggested to occur in different argasid tick species, it has been recorded only once, for Antricola marginatus in Cuba ...

Rickettsia lusitaniae in Ornithodoros Porcinus Ticks, Zambia
Pathogens, 2021 Rickettsial pathogens are amongst the emerging and re-emerging vector-borne zoonoses of public health importance. Though traditionally considered to be transmitted by ixodid ticks, the role of argasid ticks as vectors of these pathogens is increasingly ...

Identification of a rickettsial endosymbiont in a soft tick Ornithodoros turicata americanus
PLOS ONE, 2022 Bacterial endosymbionts are abundantly found in both hard and soft ticks. Occidentia massiliensis, a rickettsial endosymbiont, was first identified in the soft tick Ornithodoros sonrai collected from Senegal and later was identified in a hard tick Africaniella transversale.

Detection of relapsing fever Borrelia spp., Bartonella spp. and Anaplasmataceae bacteria in argasid ticks in Algeria. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2017 Argasid ticks (soft ticks) are blood-feeding arthropods that can parasitize rodents, birds, humans, livestock and companion animals. Ticks of the Ornithodoros genus are known to be vectors of relapsing fever borreliosis in humans.

A novel clade of cysteinyl leukotriene scavengers in soft ticks [PDF]
Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2008 Inflammation is an important vertebrate defense mechanism against ecto-parasites for which ticks have evolved numerous mechanisms of modulation. AM-33 and TSGP4, related lipocalins from the soft ticks Argas monolakensis and Ornithodoros savignyi bind cysteinyl leukotrienes with high affinity as measured by isothermal titration calorimetry.
