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

In recent years there has been much progress in our understanding of the phylogeny and
evolution of ticks, in particular the hard ticks (Ixodidae). Indeed, a consensus about the …

Ticks are parasitiform mites that are obligate hematophagous ectoparasites of amphibians,
reptiles, birds, and mammals. A phylogeny for tick families, subfamilies, and genera has …

In this study we investigate the geographic distribution, genetic diversity, and phylogenetic

Our understanding of the phylogenetic relationships among tick lineages has been limited
by the lack of resolution provided by the most commonly used phylogenetic markers …

Evidence suggesting polyphyly of the traditionally recognised tick genus Aponomma
