| ticks of domestic animals in the macedonia region of greece. | a study was carried out on ticks of domestic animals in the macedonia region of greece. during 1983-1986, 11,620 tick specimens, belonging to 18 species and subspecies, were collected from cattle, sheep, goats and dogs, in 64 localities throughout macedonia. rhipicephalus bursa, the most common tick, and hyalomma marginatum marginatum occurred in all bioclimatic zones, as well as the two one-host ticks, boophilus annulatus and h. detritum scupense, which were present in fewer localities. r. tura ... | 1996 | 8792578 |
| the supercooling ability of ticks (acari, ixodoidea). | the supercooling capacity of nine laboratory-held species of ticks originating from different geographical areas, as well as five field-collected species from germany, was investigated. all but one tick species showed mean supercooling points between about -17 and -23 degrees c, suggesting that the capacity to supercool to temperatures of < or = -17 degrees c might be an inherent property of many tick species unrelated to their geographic origin. photoperiod did not influence the mean supercooli ... | 1996 | 8981761 |
| evidence for the reproductive isolation of dermacentor marginatus and dermacentor reticulatus (acari: ixodidae) ticks based on cross-breeding, morphology and molecular studies. | the species status of dermacentor marginatus and dermacentor reticulatus was evaluated by scanning electron microscope (sem) examination of adult ticks, cross-breeding experiments and molecular biological analysis of eggs derived from transspecific pairings. the sem investigations including the morphometric quantification of phenotypic features resulted in an unequivocal differentiation of adult d. marginatus and d. reticulatus ticks. the cross-breeding experiments demonstrated that irrespective ... | 1997 | 9363622 |
| spatial distribution and seasonality of ticks (acarina: ixodidae) in a protected area in the northern apennines. | infestation of small rodents by ixodid ticks and frequency of host-seeking ticks collected by dragging were studied at orecchiella natural park (northern apennines) in 1994 and 1995. levels of infestation of apodemus spp. by immature dermacentor marginatus were higher in beech wood (5.1 larvae and 1.3 nymphs per mouse) than in oak-chestnut wood and in coniferous wood. larval d. marginatus peaked in mid summer, whereas nymphs peaked in late summer. host-seeking haemaphysalis punctata were mostly ... | 1997 | 9419846 |
| 18s rrna gene sequences and phylogenetic relationships of european hard-tick species (acari: ixodidae). | the complete 18s rrna gene sequences of the following six european hard-tick species were obtained by direct pcr cycle sequencing and silver-staining methods: rhipicephalus pusillus, boophilus annulatus, dermacentor marginatus, hyalomma lusitanicum, haemaphysalis punctata, and ixodes ricinus. differences observed in the sequence alignment of these six species together with the 18s rrna gene sequences of 13 other hard-tick species demonstrate that this gene is a good marker for supraspecific diff ... | 1998 | 9491423 |

| rickettsia slovaca sp. nov., a member of the spotted fever group rickettsiae. | the name rickettsia slovaca sp. nov. (type strain is strain b) is proposed for a member of the spotted fever group (sfg) rickettsiae which was isolated from dermacentor marginatus ticks in slovakia in 1968, and was recently implicated in human febrile illness. this rickettsia can be phenotypically distinguished from other sfg rickettsiae by microimmunofluorescence serotyping, sds-page, western blotting and mabs. genotypic differences between r. slovaca and the other sfg representatives can be de ... | 1998 | 9828449 |
| body lice as tools for diagnosis and surveillance of reemerging diseases. | body lice are vectors of three bacteria which cause human disease: rickettsia prowazekii, the agent of epidemic typhus; bartonella quintana, the agent of trench fever; and borrelia recurrentis, the agent of relapsing fever. a recrudescence of body lice is being observed as the numbers of individuals living under social conditions which predispose individuals to infestation have increased. because this phenomenon may lead to the reemergence of infections transmitted by body lice, we aimed to asse ... | 1999 | 9986818 |
