A Catalogue of the Species of Mesostigmata (Arachnida, Acari, Parasitiformes) Recorded from Ireland Including Information on Their Geographical Distribution and Habitats
"The study of Irish Mesostigmata extends back for more than 100 years, and most of the principal Irish habitat types have been studied. In this paper we provide a catalogue of the species of Mesostigmata (Arachnida, Acari, Parasitiformes) recorded from Ireland over that time. The catalogue includes 329 species, information on the habitats and locations where they occurred and provides a comprehensive list of the literature related to the Irish fauna. This catalogue increases the number of Mesostigmata species known in Ireland by 40% over the number recorded in the most recent catalogue (Luxton, 1998). Keywords: Arachnida, Acari, Parasitiformes"--page 4.
The Hard Ticks of the World
This book has been designed to summarize current, essential information for every one of the world’s 700+ hard tick species. Under each species name, we will cite the original description, followed by information on type depositories, known stages, distribution (by zoogeographic region and ecoregion), hosts, and human infestation (if any). Each species account will also include a list of salient references and, where necessary, remarks on systematic status. We envision eight chapters: six devoted to the major ixodid tick genera (Amblyomma, Dermacentor, Haemaphysalis, Hyalomma, Ixodes, Rhipicephalus), one covering eight minor genera (including two that are fossil), and a concluding summary chapter. There will be two tables on host associations and zoogeography in each major genus chapter, as well as five tables in the summary chapter, for a total of 17 tables. No similar synopsis of the world’s hard tick species exists in any language.
Biology of Ticks Volume 1
Spanning two volumes, this is the most comprehensive work on tick biology and tick-borne diseases.
Ticks
Ticks are some of the world's most fascinating bugs! This book's easy-to-read text and larger-than-life photos bring the tick's world to life, introducing readers to a tick's diet, habitat, enemies, and methods of defense. Diagrams help readers investigate the concept of metamorphosis and identify body parts, from the tick's mouthparts to its abdomen. The nervous, respiratory, and circulatory systems are also described. A step-by-step approach to scientific classification helps place these arachnids within the order Acarina. Readers are also encouraged to consider how ticks impact our daily lives, including prevention and treatment. From deer ticks to dog ticks, young entomologists will enjoy uncovering the lives of these amazing creatures. Informative sidebars and Bug Bytes aim to peak readers' interest, while bolded glossary terms, phonetic spellings, and an index enhance readability. Checkerboard is an imprint of ABDO Publishing Company.
Biology of Ticks Volume 2
Biology of Ticks is the most comprehensive work on tick biology and tick-borne diseases. This second edition is a multi-authored work, featuring the research and analyses of renowned experts across the globe. Spanning two volumes, the book examines the systematics, biology, structure, ecological adaptations, evolution, genomics and the molecular processes that underpin the growth, development and survival of these important disease-transmitting parasites. Also discussed is the remarkable array of diseases transmitted (or caused) by ticks, as well as modern methods for their control. This book should serve as a modern reference for students, scientists, physicians, veterinarians and other spe...
