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 ...

An insight into the sialome of the soft tick, Ornithodorus parkeri [PDF]
Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2008 While hard ticks (Ixodidae) take several days to feed on their hosts, soft ticks (Argasidae) feed faster, usually taking less than 1h per meal. Saliva assists in the feeding process by providing a cocktail of anti-hemostatic, anti-inflammatory and immunomodullatory compounds. Saliva of hard ticks has been shown to contain several families of genes each

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 .

Comparative Analysis of Tick-Borne Relapsing Fever Spirochaetes from Ethiopia and Nigeria
Pathogens, 2023 Despite increasing reports of tick-borne diseases in Africa, remarkably, reports of tick-borne relapsing fever (TBRF) in Nigeria are lacking. Ornithodoros savignyi from Nigeria have been reported with the relapsing fever Candidatus Borrelia kalaharica ...

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 ...

Cell lines from the soft tick Ornithodoros moubata [PDF]
Experimental and Applied Acarology, 2009 Primary cell cultures (n = 16) were initiated from tissues of embryonic and neonatal larval Ornithodoros moubata following methods developed for hard ticks. After maintenance for 20-25 months in vitro, cell multiplication commenced in surviving cultures, leading to the establishment of six cell lines designated OME/CTVM21, 22, 24, 25, 26 and 27.
