Ticks of new world tapirs
(IUCN/SSC Tapir Specialist Group, 2009-12)
In this paper, we present an updated list of ticks that have been found infesting New World tapirs. For this purpose, literature records were obtained from the INTA tick database. Data are presented according to tick ...
Tick host specificity: An analysis based on host phylogeny and tick ecological features using Amblyomma triste and Amblyomma tigrinum immature stages
(Elsevier Gmbh, 2018-05)
Here we have evaluated tick host specificity with two different methodological approaches considering Amblyomma tigrinum and Amblyomma triste immatures as targets. Firstly, the Std* index was applied, which considers host ...
Comparative proteomics for the characterization of the most relevant Amblyomma tick species as vectors of zoonotic pathogens worldwide
(Elsevier Science, 2014-06)
Ticks transmit zoonotic pathogens worldwide. Nevertheless, very little information is available on their genome, transcriptome and proteome. Herein, we characterized the proteome of Amblyomma americanum adults and nymphs ...
A community approach to the Neotropical ticks-hosts interactions
(Springer, 2020-06)
The relationships between ticks and hosts are relevant to capture the ecological background driving the evolution of these parasites. We used a set of 4,764 records of ticks of the genera Amblyomma, Ixodes, and Haemaphysalis ...
Ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) of northern Misiones Province, Argentina
(Systematic and Applied Acarology Society, 2014-12)
Information on distribution and hosts of hard ticks of northern Misiones Province in Argentina is presented in this study. Ticks were identified by morphological characters and by sequences of a 410 bp fragment of the ...
Molecular detection of rickettsial bacteria in ticks of the genus Ixodes from the Southern Cone of America
(Elsevier Science, 2020-10)
To obtain information about rickettsial bacteria in ticks of the genus Ixodes from Argentina and Uruguay, specimens of I. fuscipes (previously named as I. aragaoi), Ixodes pararicinus, Ixodes sp. cf. I. affinis, and Ixodes ...
Functional genomics and evolution of tick–Anaplasma interactions and vaccine development
(Elsevier Science, 2010-02)
The genus Anaplasma (Rickettsiales: Anaplasmataceae) includes several tick-transmitted pathogens that impact veterinary and human health. Tick-borne pathogens cycle between tick vectors and vertebrate hosts and their ...
Ticks infesting cattle and humans in the Yungas Biogeographic Province of Argentina, with notes on the presence of tick-borne bacteria
(Springer, 2018-01)
This study was performed to determine the tick species that infest cattle and humans throughout an altitudinal gradient in the Yungas Biogeographic Province of Argentina. The presence of tick-borne bacteria of the genera ...
Species occurrence of ticks in South America, and interactions with biotic and abiotic traits
(Nature Publishing Group, 2019-12)
The datasets of records of the distribution of ticks and their hosts are invaluable tools to understand the phylogenetic patterns of evolution of ticks and the abiotic traits to which they are associated. Such datasets ...
Towards an Effective, Rational and Sustainable Approach for the Control of Cattle Ticks in the Neotropics
(Molecular Diversity Preservation International, 2019-12)
Ticks and transmitted pathogens constitute a major burden for cattle industry in the Neotropics. To address this limitation, the Spanish Ibero-American Program of Science and Technology in Development office (CYTED) supported ...
