The genus Hyalomma Koch, 1844: v. re-evaluation of the taxonomic rank of taxa comprising the H. (Euhyalomma) marginatum koch complex of species (Acari: Ixodidae) with redescription of all parasitic stages and notes on biology
TLDR
The systematic morphology of species within the HyalommA (Euhyalomma) marginatum Koch complex of ticks is illustrated and their relationships within this assemblage are discussed.Abstract:
The systematic morphology of species within the Hyalomma (Euhyalomma) marginatum Koch complex of ticks is illustrated and their relationships within this assemblage are discussed. Traditionally this group comprises the extremely polymorphic species Hyalomma (Euhyalomma) marginatum Koch, 1844 subdivided into four subspecies, namely H. (E.) marginatum marginatum Koch, 1844; H (E.) marginatum rufipes Koch, 1844; H (E.) marginatum isaaci Sharif, 1928 and/H. (E.) marginatum turanicum Pomerantzev, 1946. A fifth member of the association, namely H (E.) glabrum Delpy, 1949, has recently been re-instated as a full species. The taxonomic rank of the first mentioned four ticks is herein raised to species level. Details on the repositories of type specimens, synonyms, descriptions, variability, hosts, geographic distribution, and disease relationships of these four ticks are provided, and all their developmental stages are illustrated.read more

Impact of climate trends on tick-borne pathogen transmission
TL;DR: How vector tick species occupy the habitat as a function of different climatic factors, and how these factors impact on tick survival and seasonality is discussed.

Assessment of four DNA fragments (COI, 16S rDNA, ITS2, 12S rDNA) for species identification of the Ixodida (Acari: Ixodida)

TL;DR: As the standard DNA barcode, COI should be the first choice for tick species identification, while 16S ribosomal DNA, ITS2, and 12S rDNA could be used when COI does not produce reliable results.

TL;DR: Because the vector relationship is critical to the epidemiology of these parasites, current knowledge of the vector ecology of these tick-borne equine pathogens is highlighted, emphasizing tick transmissibility and potential control strategies to prevent their spread.

TL;DR: It was only in 1967, when Soviet workers first used the generally accepted newborn white mouse inoculation technique for CCHF virus isolation and study, that the etiologic agent could be characterized antigenically, physiochemically, and morphologically.
