Maria Teresa Zanatta Coutinho,Lilian Lacerda Bueno,Annelise Sterzik,Ricardo Toshio Fujiwara,José Ramiro Botelho,Mário De Maria,Odair Genaro,Pedro Marcos Linardi +7 more
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

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.

Evidence of transstadial and mechanical transmission of lumpy skin disease virus by Amblyomma hebraeum ticks.
Jimmy Clement Lubinga,Eeva S.M. Tuppurainen,R. Mahlare,Jacobus A.W. Coetzer,W. H. Stoltsz,Estelle Hildegard Venter +5 more
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.
