. 2018 Oct;
76(3):365-380.
PMID: 30306503
The mechanical properties of the cuticle of Ixodes pacificus (Ip) are compared to those of Amblyomma hebraeum (Ah) from our earlier work. The 10-fold size difference between the species is...

PMID: 26872533
Female Amblyomma hebraeum ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) increase their weight ∼10-fold during a 'slow phase of engorgement' (7-9 days), and a further 10-fold during the 'rapid phase' (12-24h). During the rapid...

. 2015 Jul;
218(Pt 17):2806-14.
PMID: 26163583
Female ticks of the family Ixodidae increase their mass up to 100-fold during the 7-10 day feeding period. We determined the material properties of the alloscutal cuticle of female Amblyomma...

. 2014 Aug;
5(6):821-33.
PMID: 25108782
We have identified full-length cDNAs encoding two vitellogenins (Vg) from the African bont tick Amblyomma hebraeum Koch (1844). Vg is a large storage protein that is the precursor to vitellin...

Ticks Tick Borne Dis
. 2014 Jun;
5(5):569-74.
PMID: 24973274
It is well known that female ixodid ticks undergo salivary gland degeneration and the greater part of ovarian development following engorgement. The process has been particularly well studied in Amblyomma...

Ticks Tick Borne Dis
. 2014 May;
5(5):516-22.
PMID: 24865927
The feeding cycle of female ixodid ticks is divided into preparatory, slow, and rapid feeding phases. When a female Amblyomma hebraeum is removed from the host after achieving a minimum...

PMID: 24128609
We have identified the full-length cDNA encoding a vitellogenin receptor (VgR) from the African bont tick Amblyomma hebraeum Koch (1844). VgRs are members of the low-density lipoprotein receptor superfamily that...
