Description of nymphal instars of Ornithodoros mimon Kohls, Clifford & Jones, 1969 (Acari: Argasidae).
Ornithodoros mimon is an argasid tick common on Chiroptera in the Neotropical region, where it also bites humans aggressively. Here we describe for the first time all nymphal instars (N1, N2 and N3) of O. mimon based on optical and scanning electron microscopy. Although the nymphal instars of O. mimon resemble each other closely, there are characters that differentiate them: the N3 are taller t...
متن کاملMortality caused by experimental infection with the yeast Candida haemulonii in the adults of Ornithodoros moubata (Acarina: Argasidae).
A relatively high rate of mortality among engorged females of Ornithodoros moubata (Murray, 1877) was observed in our laboratory colony. The general aim of the study was to identify the causative agent responsible for this mortality. The diagnostic tests were performed by Yeast Identification Service (CBS-Delft, Netherlands) and the pathogen was identified as the yeast Candida haemulonii (van U...
متن کاملAssessment of the Geographic Distribution of Ornithodoros turicata (Argasidae): Climate Variation and Host Diversity
BACKGROUND Ornithodoros turicata is a veterinary and medically important argasid tick that is recognized as a vector of the relapsing fever spirochete Borrelia turicatae and African swine fever virus. Historic collections of O. turicata have been recorded from Latin America to the southern United States. However, the geographic distribution of this vector is poorly understood in relation to env...
متن کاملPathogenicity of entomopathogenic fungi to Ornithodoros erraticus and 1 Ornithodoros moubata ( Acari : Argasidae ) 2 3 4
24 25 The argasid ticks O. erraticus and O. moubata are of great medical and veterinary 26 importance because they are vectors of the African swine fever virus and several species of 27 human relapsing fever borreliae. Biocontrol of these ticks using entomopathogenic fungi has not 28 been previously reported. We examined the pathogenicity to different developmental stages of 29 these two argasi...
متن کاملPreliminary analysis of the transcriptome of salivary glands of Ornithodoros brasiliensis (Acari: Argasidae)
Ornithodoros brasiliensis Aragão is an endemic tick to Brazil, restricted to highlands of the state of Rio Grande do Sul[1]. It is a very aggressive species to humans, causing fever, great pain and intense inflammatory response at the bite site[2]. To build a cDNA library from the salivary glands of this tick. Pirosequencing was used, Model GS454 Junior to sequencing the cDNA obtained from mRNA...
