There has been much progress in our understanding of the phylogeny and evolution of ticks,
particularly hard ticks, in the past 5 years. Indeed, a consensus about the phylogeny of the …

We examined the phylogeny of ticks (Acari: Parasitiformes: Ixodida) and their closest known
mite relatives (Acari: Parasitiformes: Mesostigmata and Holothyrida) using 18S rRNA …

Seventy species of ticks are known from Australia: 14 soft ticks (family Argasidae) and 56
hard ticks (family Ixodidae). Sixteen of the 70 ticks in Australia may feed on humans and …

Evidence suggesting polyphyly of the traditionally recognised tick genus Aponomma

We inferred the phylogeny of 21 species and subspecies of ticks from the subfamilies
Rhipicephalinae and Hyalomminae using cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) and 12S …

Since ancient times, philosophers and taxonomists have tried to classify forms of life. This is
what taxonomy is about: the science of identifying, naming, classifying, and describing …

We inferred the phylogeny of 33 species of ticks from the subfamilies Rhipicephalinae and
Hyalomminae from analyses of nuclear and mitochondrial DNA and morphology. We used …

The hard tick family Ixodidae currently comprises over 700 species worldwide, but
information on types, developmental stages, distribution and hosts is scattered and often …
