| ixodes philipi (acari: ixodidae): phylogenetic status inferred from mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit i gene sequence comparison. | ixodes philipi ticks were collected from the nest burrows of streaked shearwaters, calonectris luecomelas, on 3 different islands of japan (awashima: 38 degrees 45'n, 139 degrees 24'e; mikurajima: 33 degrees 52'n, 139 degrees 36'e; and omorijima: 36 degrees 8'n, 133 degrees 10'e). the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit i (coi) gene sequence was determined for each tick. the coi sequences of 9 other ixodid tick species also were determined, and they were used for taxonomic positioning of i. ... | 2007 | 17626375 |
| ixodes philipi: redescription of female and first description of male, with records from streaked shearwater in japan (acarina: ixodidae). | ixodes philipi keirans & kohls, 1970 is so far known only from two female specimens taken from the streaked shearwater, puffinus leucomelas (temminck, 1835) [presently calonectris leucomelas (temminck, 1835)], or the madeiran storm-petrel, oceanodroma castro (harcourt, 1851), in japan. we redescribe the female and describe the male of this species. we used nine adults (four males and five females) taken from the bodies of c. leucomelas and/or soil samples of their nest burrows in japan, indicati ... | 2005 | 15962766 |
