| tick-borne infections in human and animal population worldwide. | the abundance and activity of ectoparasites and its hosts are affected by various abiotic factors, such as climate and other organisms (predators, pathogens and competitors) presenting thus multiples forms of association (obligate to facultative, permanent to intermittent and superficial to subcutaneous) developed during long co-evolving processes. ticks are ectoparasites widespread globally and its eco epidemiology are closely related to the environmental conditions. they are obligatory hematop ... | 2015 | 27047089 |
| morphological and genetic diversity of rhipicephalus sanguineus sensu lato from the new and old worlds. | the taxonomic status of the brown dog tick (rhipicephalus sanguineus sensu stricto), which has long been regarded as the most widespread tick worldwide and a vector of many pathogens to dogs and humans, is currently under dispute. | 2013 | 23880226 |
| east and west separation of rhipicephalus sanguineus mitochondrial lineages in the mediterranean basin. | rhipicephalus sanguineus belongs to a complex of hard tick species with high veterinary-medical significance. recently, new phylogenetic units have been discovered within r. sanguineus, which therefore needs taxonomic revision. the present study was initiated to provide new information on the phylogeography of relevant haplotypes from less studied regions of europe and africa. with this aim, molecular-phylogenetic analyses of two mitochondrial markers were performed on 50 ticks collected in hung ... | 2017 | 28115024 |
| genetic analysis of rhipicephalus sanguineus sensu lato ticks parasites of dogs in africa north of the sahara based on mitochondrial dna sequences. | the aim of this work was to determine the evolutionary relationship among tick populations of rhipicephalus sanguineus sensu lato distributed in africa north of the sahara and different lineages of r. sanguineus s.l. distributed in different regions of sub-saharan africa, america and europe through the analysis of dna sequences of two mitochondrial genes. one hundred and thirty six 16s rrna gene sequences and twenty-seven 12s rrna gene sequences of r. sanguineus s.l. were analyzed. phylogenetic ... | 2017 | 28495189 |
