A community approach to the Neotropical ticks-hosts interactions
(Springer Nature, 2020-06-09)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 ... -
Comparative proteomics for the characterization of the most relevant Amblyomma tick species as vectors of zoonotic pathogens worldwide
(2014-06-13)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 ... -
Description of a new soft tick species (Acari: Argasidae: Ornithodoros) parasite of Octodon degus (Rodentia: Octodontidae) in northern Chile
(Elsevier, 2020-05)A new argasid (Argasidae) tick is herein described based on morphology and molecular data obtained from larvae parasitizing Octodon degus and from ticks collected inside burrows in northern Chile. Unfed laboratory-reared ... -
Description of a new species of Ixodes (Acari: Ixodidae) and first report of Ixodes lasallei and Ixodes bocatorensis in Brazil
(Elsevier, 2020-07)In a recent study, we relegated the taxon Ixodes aragaoi Fonseca, 1935 to a junior synonym of Ixodes fuscipes Koch, 1844, and reinstated Ixodes spinosus Neumann, 1899 (a former synonym of I. fuscipes) to a valid species. ... -
Description of all the stages of Ixodes inopinatus n. sp. (Acari: Ixodidae)
(2014-10)All of the parasitic stages of Ixodes inopinatus n. sp. are described from specimens collected by flagging and on lizards and foxes. The new species replaces I. ricinus in dry areas of the Mediterranean region in Spain, ... -
Description of Ornithodoros montensis n. sp. (Acari, Ixodida: Argasidae), a parasite of the toad Rhinella arenarum (Amphibia, Anura: Bufonidae) in the Monte Desert of Argentina
(Springer, 2019-05)A new tick species of the genus Ornithodoros (Acari: Argasidae) was described from larvae collected on the toad Rhinella arenarum in a locality from Argentina belonging to the Monte Biogeographic Province. Ornithodoros ... -
Detección de la garrapata exótica Amblyomma Varanense (acari: ixodidae) en especímenes importados de Varanus salvator (Squamata: Varanidae) en la Argentina
(Facultad de Ciencias Veterinarias, Universidad de Buenos Aires, 2019-12)La importación de animales vivos, especialmente reptiles, ha contribuido al transporte e introducción de garrapatas exóticas en muchas regiones del mundo. Se describe el hallazgo de 11 especímenes (un macho, dos hembras y ... -
Detection of a putative novel genotype of Anaplasma in gray-brocket deer (Mazama gouazoubira) from Uruguay
(Springer, 2020-07)Anaplasmataceae includes the genera Anaplasma, Ehrlichia, Neorickettsia and Wolbachia, comprising a group of obligate intracellular bacteria. The genus Anaplasma has pathogenic species transmitted by ticks of veterinary ... -
Determinación de la concentración letal 50 para rhipicephalus (boophilus) microplus de la formamidina (amitraz) en diferentes poblaciones de la Argentina
(2013)Se determinó la concentración letal 50 (CL 50) para el amitraz (Az) en poblaciones susceptibles de Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus (R. (B) microplus) utilizando tela de nylon (Type 2320, Cerex Advanced Fabrics, ... -
Different lines of evidence used to delimit species in ticks : a study of the South American populations of Amblyomma parvum (Acari: Ixodidae)
(2016-10)The goal of this work was to combine different lines of evidence besides that of molecular markers to delimit species in ticks when the molecular data are not totally congruent. Two groups (Argentina, Brazil) of South ... -
Distribution and genetic variation of Amblyomma triste (Acari: Ixodidae) in Argentina
(2013-09)A study was conducted to investigate the distribution of Amblyomma triste in Argentina under the hypothesis that this tick prevails in riparian localities along the Paraná River and adjacent humid environments from 34°30′ ... -
Divergent environmental preferences and areas of sympatry of tick species in the Amblyomma cajennense complex (Ixodidae)
(2014-12)Four species of Neotropical ticks, Amblyomma mixtum, Amblyomma cajennense, Amblyomma tonelliae and Amblyomma sculptum (formerly included in the catch-all name A. cajennense), have an allopatric distribution in much of their ... -
Do parapatric populations of the ticks Amblyomma tonelliae Nava, Beati & Labruna, 2014 and Amblyomma sculptum Berlese, 1888 (Acari: Ixodidae) hybridize?
(Royal Entomological Society, 2023-02-02)This work aimed to determine if the tick species, Amblyomma sculptum and Amblyomma tonelliae, hybridize along their contact zones in Argentina. Free-living adults and nymphs of A. sculptum and A. tonelliae were collected ... -
