Conclusion:The dominant tick species on cattle in Hainan is Rhipicephalus microplus. The ticks were found to carry Anaplasma pathogens, and this study provides important data support for the prevention and treatment of Anaplasma diseases in the region.DENG Wanxin...
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. ...

Recently, North American members of the subgenus Pholeoixodes have been included in such molecular analyses [27]. However, no phylogenetic study has been performed on Pholeoixodes tick species collected from carnivores in Europe. Therefore, the aims of the present study were to morphologically ...
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, ...

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...
That’s enough scaremongering for one post. It is always best to focus onpositively identifyinga species rather than over-dwelling on things itmight be– if you can tick off the identification points for young and old specimens in these two pictures you have very little to worry about. And...
