Detection of human blood in the bat tick Carios (Ornithodoros) kelleyi (Acari: Argasidae) in Iowa.
The argasid tick Carios (Ornithodoros) kelleyi Cooley & Kohls is a common ectoparasite of bats and has been found in massive numbers in homes with associated bat colonies in eastern Iowa. This tick feeds nearly exclusively on bats in nature. Several inhabitants of infested homes complained of "bug bites" at night while asleep that may have resulted in erythematous, edematous, urticaric skin les...
متن کاملGenetic characteristics of Borrelia coriaceae isolates from the soft tick Ornithodoros coriaceus (Acari: Argasidae).
Two Borrelia isolates (CA434 and CA435) cultured from the soft tick Ornithodoros coriaceus were analyzed by contour-clamped homogeneous electric field gel electrophoresis of unrestricted and ApaI-restricted DNA, standard electrophoresis of BamHI- and HindIII-restricted DNA, Southern hybridization, restriction fragment length polymorphism and sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene, and amplification of...
متن کاملDescription of a new species of bat-associated argasid tick (Acari: Argasidae) from Brazil.
A new species of argasid tick (Acari: Argasidae) is described from immature and adult specimens collected from several localities in Brazil. A complete morphological account is provided for all postembryonic life stages, i.e., larva, nymph, female, and male. Ornithodoros cavernicolous n. sp. is the 113(th) in the genus. Morphologically, the new species shares common features, e.g., presence of ...
متن کاملExperimental infection of the bat tick Carios fonsecai (Acari: Ixodidae) with the rabies virus.
INTRODUCTION This study assessed the viability of the rabies virus in the argasid tick Carios fonsecai following experimental infection. METHODS The mouse inoculation test (MIT), fluorescent antibody test (FAT) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) were used. The rabies virus was administered to ticks via the intra-coelomic route, and the ticks were sacrificed at different time points. RESULT...
متن کاملExperimental vector incompetence of a soft tick, Ornithodoros sonrai (Acari: Argasidae), for Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus.
Adults and nymphs of a soft tick, Ornithodoros sonrai Sautet & Witkowski, were allowed to feed on suckling mice that had been experimentally infected with Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) virus (IbAr 10200 strain). The mean viral titer of mouse blood at the time of tick feeding was 10(3.2) plaque-forming units (PFU) per ml. Samples of ticks were assayed on 12 occasions between days 0 and ...
