Fleas From the Northern Hairy‐Nosed Wombat and Other Mammalian Hosts of Australia

David K. Mardon, F. Richard Allison, Stephen C. Barker

ABSTRACT One of us (DKM) amassed a collection of 283 adult fleas (18 species) from donations by staff of the Queensland National Parks and Wildlife Service and other mammalogists, over 20 years (1967–87). Among this large collection were the first fleas to …

Description of the female, nymph and larva and mitochondrial genome, and redescription of the male of Ixodes barkeri Barker, 2019 (Acari: Ixodidae), from the short-beaked echidna, Tachyglossus aculeatus, with a consideration of the most suitable subgenus for this tick

Dayana Barker, Samuel Kelava, Renfu Shao, Owen D. Seeman et autres

A new subgenus, Australixodes n. subgen. (Acari: Ixodidae), for the kiwi tick, Ixodes anatis Chilton, 1904, and validation of the subgenus Coxixodes Schulze, 1941 with a phylogeny of 16 of the 22 subgenera of Ixodes Latreille, 1795 from entire mitochondrial genome sequences

Seasonal changes in the population structure of Australpavlovskyella gurneyi , the kangaroo soft tick, associated with seasonal changes in the wallowing behaviour of the Osphranter rufus , the red kangaroo, and the weather

Β. M. Doube, Stephen C. Barker

ABSTRACT Abstract Figure The kangaroo soft tick, Australpavlovskyella gurneyi (Warburton, 1926), is found in sandy depressions (‘wallows’), under desert shade trees, formed by the activity of the red kangaroo, Osphranter rufus , resting under shade trees ( https://youtu.be/AYLoqqPsifc ). The field biology …

Attachment‐site preferences of Ixodes holocyclus , the eastern paralysis tick of Australia: insights from 10,311 cases of tick infestations in dogs and cats

Ernest J.M. Teo, RB ATWELL, Henry Norris Russell, T.D. Lambert et autres

The eastern paralysis tick of Australia, Ixodes holocyclus, is by far the most important ectoparasite of dogs and cats in eastern Australia. In spite of the development of tick-antisera and the availability of highly effective tick-preventative medications, thousands of dogs and cats …

Two new genera for the Australian species of the subgenus Pavlovskyella Pospelova-Shtrom, 1950 (genus Ornithodoros Koch, 1844) (Acari: Ixodida: Argasidae: Ornithodorinae): Apanaskevichiella gen. nov. for O. (P.) macmillani Hoogstraal & Kohls, 1966; and Australpavlovskyella gen. nov. for O. (P.) gurneyi Warburton, 1926

Stephen C. Barker, Samuel Kelava, Matthew D. Shaw, Ernest J.M. Teo et autres

We establish Apanaskevichiella gen. nov. for Ornithodoros (Pavlovskyella) macmillani Hoogstraal & Kohls 1966, McMillans Australian tree-hollow argasid; and Australpavlovskyella gen. nov. for Ornithodoros (Pavlovskyella) gurneyi Warburton, 1926, the kangaroo soft tick. www.youtube.com/@Tick_video-j2m.

Independent lineages from five zoogeographic realms: the mitochondrial genome of Ornithodoros (Pavlovskyella) gurneyi Warburton, 1926 (Acari: Argasidae) confirms paraphyly of the subgenus Pavlovskyella Pospelova-Shtrom, 1950

Ben J. Mans, Samuel Kelava, Matthew D. Shaw, Ernest J.M. Teo et autres

Mitochondrial (mt) genomes have played a major role in elucidating evolutionary relationships in ticks (Ixodida), especially in soft ticks (Argasidae). Mitochondrial genomes have been sequenced for representatives of most of the genera and other major lineages. This includes members of the Afrotropical, …

Metagenomic resolution of spotted-fever group Rickettsia tasmanensis and novel DNA viruses in Australian wildlife ticks, with spatial modelling of Rickettsia exposure zones

Ernest J.M. Teo, Mary E. Petrone, Adam G. Stewart, Delaney Burnard et autres

Abstract Australia’s spotted fever group (SFG) rickettsiae cause significant illness, yet microbial diversity in wildlife ticks remains incompletely understood. Metagenomic sequencing of nine tick pools representing three Ixodidae species, Ixodes tasmani , I. holocyclus , and Haemaphysalis bancrofti , from Australian wildlife …

Exploring Borrelia in Australia: Isolation, genomic characterisation, and host and vector associations

Alexander William Gofton, M.N. Short, Michelle Michie, Dakota Gallaway et autres

Borrelia are tick-borne spirochetes that include important pathogens that cause Lyme borreliosis and relapsing fevers. While multiple Borrelia species have been identified in Australia, further research is needed to understand their ecological roles and potential zoonotic risks. This study aimed to isolate …

Are there 16 species of brown dog ticks? Phylogenies from 60 entire mitochondrial genomes and 162 cox1 sequences reveal 16 species-level clades in the Rhipicephalus (Rhipicephalus) sanguineus group☆☆

Samuel Kelava, Ryo Nakao, Ben J. Mans, Mingeun Cho et autres

The Rhipicephalus sanguineus group, the brown dog ticks, are cosmopolitan and doubtless the most important ticks of domestic dogs, clinically and economically. Despite four decades of taxonomic enquiry with nucleotide sequences and morphology, the taxonomy of the R. sanguineus group is confused, …

Validation of Sharifiella Santos Dias, 1958 (Acari: Ixodidae) as a genus of hard ticks containing S. theilerae (Hoogstraal, 1953), a parasite of tail-less tenrec, Tenrec ecaudatus (Schreber) (Afrosoricida: Tenrecidae) on Madagascar

Dmitry A. Apanaskevich, Stephen E. Greiman, Steven Michael Goodman, Maria A. Apanaskevich et autres

We establish Sharifiella Santos Dias, 1958 (Acari: Ixodidae), formerly considered a subgenus of Haemaphysalis Koch, 1844, at full genus rank. The only species of this genus, S. theilerae (Hoogstraal, 1953), is a specific parasite of tenrecs (Afrosoricida: Tenrecidae) on Madagascar. Several morphological …
