Participation of Rhipicephalus sanguineus (Acari: Ixodidae) in the epidemiology of canine visceral leishmaniasis

TL;DR: It is suggested that the vectorial capacity of R. sanguineus for L. chagasi should be evaluated further, opening new perspectives in the epidemiology of ZVL.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prevalence, distribution and risk associated with tick infestation of dogs in Great Britain.

TL;DR: This study presents the results of a randomized sample of dogs and gives a prevalence higher than those previously recorded in Great Britain, as well as a number of risk factors affected the likelihood of tick attachment on dogs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparison of the external morphology of Rhipicephalus sanguineus (Latreille, 1806) (Acari: Ixodidae) ticks from Brazil and Argentina.

TL;DR: Different differences were detected among the R. sanguineus collected at the two localities, such as body size, shape of the genital pore, and morphology of the sensory structures, which indicate the need for further comparisons and, the taxonomical revision of this species of tick in the Neotropics.

An annotated bibliography of the spinose ear tick, Otobius megnini (Dugès, 1883) (Acari: Ixodida: Argasidae) 1883-2000

TL;DR: The following annotated bibliography is the first attempt to gather references to these writings into a single alphabetically organized document as an historical aid to those interested in furthering their knowledge or research efforts on this species.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evidence of transstadial and mechanical transmission of lumpy skin disease virus by Amblyomma hebraeum ticks.

TL;DR: Findings implicate A. hebraeum as a possible maintenance host in the epidemiology of the disease and provide further evidence of mechanical/intrastadial and, for the first time, transstadial transmission of LSDV by A.
