investigations into sex dimorphism during nuclear interphase of the argasid tick, ornithodoros savignyi (audouin, 1827).		1966	4165342
experimental transmission of african swine fever virus by ornithodoros savignyi (audouin).	the 'sand tampan', ornithodoros savignyi, is susceptible to oral infection with african swine fever (asf) virus in the laboratory. infected ticks can transmit the virus transstadially and are able to maintain it for at least 106 days. transmission of asf virus by infected ticks to healthy pigs was achieved on five separate occasions between 50 and 106 days after infection. pigs infected in this way developed typical acute african swine fever. the distribution of o savignyi in africa suggests tha ...	1985	4081341
the identification of a shared immunogen present in the salivary glands and gut of ixodid and argasid ticks.	the identification of a 70-kda immunogen present in salivary gland extracts of several ixodid species, namely hyalomma truncatum (sweating-sickness-inducing (ss+) and non-inducing (ss-) strains), hyalomma marginatum rufipes and rhipicephalus evertsi evertsi, is reported. the immunogen was identified by western blots using a monoclonal antibody of the igm isotype directed against a 70-kda immunogen present in the salivary glands of (ss-) female h. truncatum ticks. cross-reactivity with the gut of ...	1992	1446571
proteins and free amino acids in the salivary secretion and haemolymph of the tick amblyomma hebraeum.	electrophoretic and chromatographic separations of the salivary secretion of amblyomma hebraeum showed a less complex protein pattern than that of ornithodoros savignyi. a hyaluronidase active component was isolated. the haemolymph protein pattern showed a major protein fraction with a mobility slightly faster than that of bovine serum albumin.	1978	754123
neurosecretion in ornithodoros savignyi (audouin) (ixodoidea: argasidae). the distribution of neurosecretory cells in the brain.	the arrangement of the brain and peripheral nerves in ornithodoros savignyi (audouin) is similar to that of other argasid and ixodid ticks. histological studies, using a specialized staining technique (aldehyde fuchsin), have shown 15 groups of neurosecretory cells in the cortex of the brain.	1977	614529
