This study describes a five-year survey of ticks and tick-borne bacteria circulating in different areas of Sardinia, Italy. R. sanguineus s.l. and R. bursa were the most frequently detected tick species on the island and were also the most frequent species found on humans in this study. ...
With few exceptions, wolf spider species can be difficult to identify without a microscopic examination of the body. The largest wolf spiders belong to either the Hogna or Tigrosa genera. Smaller species live in the leaf litter and grass found in residential areas. Size is another reason that ...
Being aware of this problem, new molecular methods have been introduced for species identification of sand flies: DNA barcoding (e.g. Kumar et al., 2012, Nzelu et al., 2015, Polseela et al., 2015) and protein profiling using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass...
In the immunoblot assay, three proteins 51, 55 and 63 kDa showed 100% reactivity to the urine of 47 VL patients and nonreactive to 18 healthy and other diseases. Mass spectrometry revealed the identity of 51, 55 and 63 kDa proteins as elongation factor 1α (EF1-α), α-tubulin, ...
Big-eyed Tick-jawed spiders come in multiple colors. A red morph is common in this species. The red variant has a dark red cephalothorax and a light red abdomen. These morphs also have light red legs. Orange or red-brown marks are common on the abdomen of the species. ...

<although we cannot ID this by species, one look at the claws (if not knowing the general omnivorous behavior of most all crabs) reminds us that form follows function: those claws are not there for algae grazing. This crab like most all, is not reef safe. Do remove it please> will my...
In the present study, a total of 991 ticks from bovines (n=690 from cattle; n =301 from buffaloes) were collected during July to October 2019 from six sampling sites in Rajanpur District to report identification and prevalence of collected tick species. During the current investigation, 16 ...
The predominant tick species recorded is Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) annulatus. The maximum intensity of tick infestation as a function of age is between 3 and 4 years and 5 and 6 years (39 ticks/cow). The study shows that the comparison between the prevalence of infestation in females and ...
