The hard ticks of the world (Acari: Ixodida: Ixodidae)
(Springer Science, 2014)
The hard tick family Ixodidae currently comprises over 700 species worldwide, but information on types, developmental stages, distribution and hosts is scattered and often difficult to access. We have undertaken the task ...
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 ...
Tick Infection of Caiman crocodilus fuscus at the Hidroprado Hydroelectric Dam in Colombia: New Records, Parasite Prevalence, and Blood Loss Rate
(Sociedade Brasileira de Herpetologia, 2020-08)
The main goal of this research was to identify the hard ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) found in 10 individuals of spectacled caiman (Caiman crocodilus fuscus) from 349 individuals captured at the Hidroprado hydroelectric dam in ...
A meta-analysis of host specificity in Neotropical hard ticks (Acari: Ixodidae)
(Cambridge University Press, 2013-02)
Host specificity of Neotropical hard ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) was analyzed by using the number of hosts species for each tick species and the index of host specificity STD*, which integrates phylogenetic and ecological ...
