| relative utilization of reptiles and rodents as hosts by immature ixodes scapularis (acari: ixodidae) in the coastal plain of north carolina, usa. | the interaction of immature black-legged ticks, ixodes scapularis, with reptiles and rodents was investigated in various woodland habitats in the coastal plain of north carolina. reptiles were sampled from april 1 to september 30, 1991. no ticks were found on 95 specimens representing 16 species of snakes. ticks were found on 54 (36.7%) of 147 lizards. i. scapularis was the only tick recovered from lizards. some lizards were collected in drift fence traps each month of the study except august. c ... | 1993 | 7628223 |
| lizards as hosts for immature ixodes scapularis (acari: ixodidae) in north carolina. | previously archived museum specimens of lizards collected throughout north carolina were examined for ixodes scapularis (say). lizards (n = 1,349) collected in 80 of north carolina's 100 counties were examined. lizards with ticks were collected in 23 (29%) of the 80 counties from which lizards were examined. i. scapularis was detected on 8.7% (n = 117) of the lizards and was the sole species of tick obtained from lizards. immature ticks were most frequently found on the southeastern five-lined s ... | 1997 | 9439111 |
| parasitism of lizards by immature stages of the blacklegged tick, ixodes scapularis (acari, ixodidae). | from 1982-1985 and 1993-1999, a total of 309 individual reptiles, mostly lizards and snakes, belonging to 12 species (american alligator, six lizard species, five snake species) was captured on st. catherine's island, liberty county, georgia, usa, and examined for ticks. three lizard species, the broad-headed skink eumeces laticeps, southeastern 5-lined skink eumeces inexpectatus, and eastern glass lizard ophisaurus ventralis, were severely infested with larvae and nymphs of the blacklegged tick ... | 2002 | 12537298 |
| further scanning electron microscope studies of lizard auditory papillae. | the papillae basilares of 12 species of lizards from seven different families were studied by sem. the iguanids, sceloporus magister and s. occidentalis, have typical "iguanid type" papillae with central short-ciliated unidirectional hair cell segments and apical and basal long-ciliated bidirectional hair cell segments. these species of sceloporus are unique among iquanids in that the bidirectional segments consist of but two rows of hair cells. the agamids, agama agama and calotes nigrolabius, ... | 1978 | 671555 |
