Ticks Tick Borne Dis
. 2011 Jul;
1(1):11-22.
PMID: 21771507
Ticks have attracted a great deal of scientific attention primarily because of their role as vectors of numerous pathogens. The majority of tick researchers worldwide focus primarily on microbiological and...

Exp Appl Acarol
. 2010 Aug;
53(2):167-78.
PMID: 20711799
Lees (Proc Zool Soc Lond 121:759-772, 1952) concluded that the ixodid tick Ixodes ricinus grows endocuticle during the slow but not during the rapid, phase of engorgement, a conclusion supported...

J Exp Biol
. 2010 Aug;
213(Pt 16):2820-31.
PMID: 20675552
The degree of plasticization of the alloscutal cuticle of a 'hard' (ixodid) tick, Amblyomma hebraeum, and a 'soft' (argasid) tick, Ornithodoros moubata, was assessed throughout the blood-feeding period. Cuticle viscosity...

J Insect Physiol
. 2009 Jun;
55(10):936-42.
PMID: 19555693
The normal engorged body weight of female ixodid ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) is about 100x the unfed weight. Virgin female Amblyomma hebraeum normally do not feed beyond 10x the unfed weight....

Exp Appl Acarol
. 2008 Oct;
47(1):71-86.
PMID: 18830675
Reducing or replacing the use of chemical pesticides for tick control is a desirable goal. The most promising approach would be to develop vaccines that protect hosts against tick infestation....

J Insect Physiol
. 2008 Jul;
54(7):1175-83.
PMID: 18634796
Earlier work from our laboratory indicated that injection of 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E) into non-vitellogenic female Amblyomma hebraeum ticks stimulates the synthesis of vitellogenin (Vg), but not its uptake into oocytes [Friesen,...

Insect Biochem Mol Biol
. 2008 Jun;
38(7):721-9.
PMID: 18549958
In most ticks of the family Ixodidae, gonad maturation and spermatogenesis are stimulated by the taking of a blood meal. Previous work from this laboratory identified 35 genes that are...

J Insect Physiol
. 2006 Nov;
53(3):264-73.
PMID: 17113595
The central issue dealt with here is the role of copulation in the control of feeding behaviour in ticks and some haematophagous insects. Female ticks of the family Ixodidae normally...

. 2006 Jul;
39(3-4):297-313.
PMID: 16874555
Eggs of the tick Amblyomma hebraeum Koch (Acari: Ixodidae) inhibited the growth of Escherichia coli and Serratia marcescens (Gram-negative bacteria) in solid culture, but not the growth of Staphylococcus epidermidis,...

J Exp Biol
. 2006 Jun;
209(Pt 13):2525-34.
PMID: 16788036
Female ticks of the family Ixodidae osmoregulate by secreting the excess fluid of the blood meal back into the host's circulation via the salivary glands. At least three receptors control...
