scanning and transmission electron microscopy of the spermiophores of ornithodoros ticks: an attempt to explain their motility.the spermiophores of two tick species, the kangaroo tick, ornithodoros gurneyi and the cave tick, ornithodoros tholozani have been examined by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. the anterior end (head) of the spermiophore is a hemisphere covered with a hexagonal network of small projections. the rest of the spermiophore is covered with longitudinal ridges, seen in sections as cellular processes whose membranes are attached only at their anterior ends by specialized 'feet'. in the cyt ...1976982419

novel borrelia species detected in echidna ticks, bothriocroton concolor, in australia.to date, little has been documented about microorganisms harboured within australian native ticks or their pathogenic potential. recently, a borrelia sp. related to the relapsing fever (rf) group was identified in a single tick removed from a wild echidna (tachyglossus aculeatus). the present study investigated the presence of borrelia in 97 bothriocroton concolor ticks parasitizing echidnas in queensland, new south wales, and victoria, australia, using nested pcr with borrelia-specific primers ...201627301754
