Evidence suggesting polyphyly of the traditionally recognised tick genus Aponomma
Neumann, 1899 is summarized. Continued recognition of this genus in its current concept …

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 …

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

The mitochondrial 16S rRNA gene sequences of the following eight European Metastriata
tick species were obtained by direct polymerase-chain-reaction cycle sequencing and silver …

Recent molecular and morphological studies of the genera Rhipicephalus Koch, 1844 and
Boophilus Curtice, 1891 revealed that the five species of Boophilus make the genus …

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 …

A systematic analysis of generic/subgeneric relationships in the ixodid lineage Metastriata
was conducted based on 82 structural and developmental characters, 15 of which have …

The tick family Argasidae is a complex and diverse assemblage of about 190 species. Taxa
within the Family Ixodidae had received considerable attention by contemporary …

A portion of mitochondrial 12S rDNA sequences (337–355 base pairs) and 63
morphological characters of 36 hard-tick species belonging to 7 genera were analyzed to …

We establish two new monotypic genera, Robertsicus n. gen. and Archaeocroton n. gen.,
based on two enigmatic species of Amblyomma. Robertsicus, with the type species R …
