| does aponomma varanensis (acari: ixodida: ixodidae) occur on the taiwanese mainland? | on 15 july 1976, teams from the u.s. naval medical research unit no. 2, taipei, taiwan, made 3 collections of ticks from beneath the dorsal scales of the taiwan stink snake, elaphe carinata, at makung in the penghu islands, which lie astride the tropic of cancer in the taiwan strait between southern mainland china and taiwan proper. these ticks were later determined to be aponomma varanensis (supino, 1897), but this discovery was never published, and no member of the genus aponomma has heretofor ... | 1996 | 8691388 |
| introduction of potential heartwater vectors and other exotic ticks into florida on imported reptiles. | following the discovery of establishment of the african tortoise tick amblyomma marmoreum in florida, the present study was undertaken to determine the extent of introduction of exotic ticks into florida on imported reptiles. exotic ticks were identified on 29 (91%) of 32 reptile premises in 18 counties of florida. the ticks, found on a variety of imported tortoises, snakes, and monitor lizards, belonged to 4 amblyomma species (a. marmoreum, amblyomma nuttalli, amblyomma sabanerae, and amblyomma ... | 2000 | 10958443 |

| the international trade in reptiles (reptilia)--the cause of the transfer of exotic ticks (acari: ixodida) to poland. | the problem of the unnatural transfer of exotic ticks (acari: ixodida) on reptiles (reptilia) imported to poland is presented. in the period from 2003 to 2007, 382 specimens of reptiles belonging to the following genera were investigated: testudo, iguana, varanus, gongylophis, python, spalerosophis, psammophis. the reptiles most infested with ticks are imported to poland from ghana in africa, and are the commonly bred terrarium reptiles: varanus exanthematicus and python regius. as a result of t ... | 2010 | 20153933 |
| [the characteristics of tick species (acari: ixodida) transferred on exotic reptiles to poland]. | some natural and unusual transfers of exotic ticks on hosts have been noticed in poland. reptiles together with migratory birds and migrating mammals, are the groups of vertebrates that transfer unknown tick species to the territory of poland. the majority of exotic reptiles brought to poland for breading and commercial purpose are infested by ticks. therefore the systematic list of ticks as well as their geographical distribution in the world, tick-host specificity, characteristic and morpholog ... | 2010 | 20450006 |
| parasitisation and localisation of ticks (acari: ixodida) on exotic reptiles imported into poland. | as a result of examinations, the following species of ticks have been found parasitising on python regius brought from africa to poland: amblyomma latum, amblyomma transversale, amblyomma spp., on varanus exanthematicus: amblyomma exornatum, amblyomma flavomaculatum, amblyomma latum, amblyomma nuttalli, amblyomma spp., on varanus salvator brought from indonesia to poland: amblyomma varanensis. there were 58 specimens of monitor lizard (v. salvator and v. exanthematicus) and 92 specimens of pytho ... | 2010 | 21186765 |
| ticks of poland. review of contemporary issues and latest research. | the paper presents current knowledge of ticks occurring in poland, their medical importance, and a review of recent studies implemented in the polish research centres on ticks and their significance in the epidemiology of transmissible diseases. in the polish fauna there are 19 species of ticks (ixodida) recognized as existing permanently in our country: argas reflexus, argas polonicus, carios vespertilionis, ixodes trianguliceps, ixodes arboricola, ixodes crenulatus, ixodes hexagonus, ixodes li ... | 2012 | 23444797 |
| borrelia sp. phylogenetically different from lyme disease- and relapsing fever-related borrelia spp. in amblyomma varanense from python reticulatus. | species of the genus borrelia are causative agents of lyme disease and relapsing fever. lyme disease is the most commonly reported vector-borne disease in the northern hemisphere. however, in some parts of the world lyme borreliosis and relapsing fever may be caused by novel borrelia genotypes. herein, we report the presence of a borrelia sp. in an amblyomma varanense collected from python reticulatus. | 2016 | 27342652 |
| hepatozoon and theileria species detected in ticks collected from mammals and snakes in thailand. | we report the detection of hepatozoon and theileria in 103 ticks from mammals and snakes in thailand. by using a genus-specific 18s rrna pcr, hepatozoon and theileria spp. were detected in 8% and 18%, respectively, of ticks (n=79) removed from mammals. of the ticks removed from snakes (n=24), 96% were infected with hepatozoon spp., but none were infected with theileria. phylogenetic analysis revealed that hepatozoon spp. detected from dermacentor astrosignatus and dermacentor auratus ticks from ... | 2015 | 25736475 |
| molecular detection of rickettsia species in amblyomma ticks collected from snakes in thailand. | some reptile ticks are potential vectors of pathogens such as spotted fever group (sfg) rickettsiae. here, we report for the first time in detail the molecular evidence, dna sequences and phylogenetic studies, for the presence of rickettsia spp. in amblyomma ticks (amblyomma helvolum and amblyomma varanense) from snakes in thailand. a total of 24 tick samples was collected from 4 snake species and identified. a phylogenetic analysis inferred from the partial sequences of the glta gene indicated ... | 2014 | 25027232 |
| ticks imported to europe with exotic reptiles. | it is known that traded exotic animals carry with them an immense number of associated symbionts, including parasites. reptiles are no exception. most of the imported reptiles originate from tropical countries and their possibility to carry potentially dangerous pathogens is high. according to cites, europe is currently the main reptile importer in the world. despite this, there is no review or analysis available for the risk related to the importation of tick-borne diseases with traded reptile ... | 2015 | 25913453 |
| francisella-like endosymbiont in a tick collected from a chicken in southern thailand. | francisella is a genus of bacterial pathogens potentially lethal to humans. we report here for the first time a novel francisella-like endosymbiont discovered in a hard-tick (rhipicephalus sanguineus s.l.) obtained from a chicken (gallus domesticus) in thailand. the phylogenetic results indicate the 16s rdna sequences of this francisella bacterium form a unique clade with the francisella-like endosymbiont of the tick species, amblyomma varanense and amblyomma helvolum, that have previously been ... | 2016 | 27244963 |
| phylogenetic relationships of francisella-like endosymbionts detected in two species of amblyomma from snakes in thailand. | ticks are important vectors of several bacterial pathogens, including francisella. in this study, a total of 24 adult ticks (amblyomma varanense and amblyomma helvolum) collected from 4 species of snake from 3 provinces of thailand was screened for the presence of francisella-like endosymbionts (fles) by pcr. fles were detected in 46% (11/24) of all ticks examined. a phylogenetic analysis of the 16s rdna sequence indicated that the 11 distinct genotypes of fles amplified from a. varanense and a. ... | 2014 | 24446556 |
