Two Theileria species, T. annulata and T. parva, are important cattle parasites. [1] T. annulata causes tropical theileriosis and T. parva causes East Coast fever. Theileria species are transmitted by ticks. [2] The genomes of T. orientalis Shintoku [3], Theileria equi WA, [4] Theileria annulata Ankara [5] and Theileria parva Muguga [6] have ...
However, the tick has been associated with several other tickborne diseases in humans. Unfed female Haemaphysalis longicornis, ventral (underside) view, about 2.3 mm long. [4] An unfed female is typically 2.0–2.6 mm long and 1.5–1.8 mm wide, and grows to 9.8 mm long and 8.2 mm wide with engorgement. [5]
Ornithodoros moubata, commonly known as the African hut tampan [1] or the eyeless tampan, [2] is a species of tick in the family Argasidae. It is an ectoparasite and vector of relapsing fever in humans, [ 3 ] [ 4 ] and African swine fever in pigs.
Dermatobia fly eggs have been shown to be vectored by over 40 species of mosquitoes and muscoid flies, as well as one species of tick [2] (However, the source for this is somewhat old, 2007, and slightly more recent literature seems to indicate they don't need a particular species of ticks, or at least makes no mention of them only being able ...
The zebra tick or yellow back tick (Rhipicephalus pulchellus) is a species of hard tick. It is common in the Horn of Africa , with a habitat of the Rift Valley and eastward. It feeds upon a wide variety of species, including livestock, wild mammals, and humans, and can be a vector for various pathogens.
A. phagocytophilum is transmitted to humans by Ixodes ticks. These ticks are found in the US, Europe, and Asia. In the US, I. scapularis is the tick vector in the East and Midwest states, and I. pacificus in the Pacific Northwest. [8] In Europe, the I. ricinus is the main tick vector, and I. persulcatus is the currently known tick vector in ...
Ehrlichiosis ewingii infection [1] is an infectious disease caused by an intracellular bacteria, Ehrlichia ewingii. [2] The infection is transmitted to humans by the tick, Amblyomma americanum . This tick can also transmit Ehrlichia chaffeensis , the bacteria that causes human monocytic ehrlichiosis (HME).
The tick is native to the Middle East and Mediterranean. [4] It is one of the more common soft ticks to bite humans. [4] Their main food sources in Spain are pigs; the tick has been found in pig pens in the provinces of Salamanca, Badajoz, and Huelva. [5] The only human habitats the tick can enter are places in poor condition. [6]
