ixodid tick attacks on man in israel: medical implications.various species of ixodid ticks that have been recorded to attack man were surveyed, and boutonneuse fever caused by rickettsia conorii, which is transmitted in israel by rhipicephalus sanguineus s.l., is reviewed. only in one case were a complement fixation test and exact determination of the species of the tick performed. tick toxicosis and tick paralysis are discussed, and the possibility of human babesiosis and lyme disease or erythema chronicum migrans appearing in israel is considered.19863957641
[experimental transmission of monanema nilotica el bihari & coll., 1977, a filaria with skin-dwelling microfilaria parasitic in african murids].the value of monanema of murids as experimental models of ocular lesions due to onchocerciasis would be greatly increased if we could experiment with several host and parasite species since, in many cases, the lesions induced are more significant when the host-parasite association is poorly adapted. the life cycle of 2 isolates of monanema nilotica is completed, one from lemniscomys striatus from the central african republique and the other from arvicanthis niloticus of mali. as in m. globulosa, ...19853985535
