High impact information on Argasidae

The current study determined the gene structure for HBP2 and TSGP1, TSGP2 and TSGP4, lipocalins identified from the soft tick Ornithodoros savignyi (Argasidae) [1].
Strong repellency (greater than 90%) against adults of the hard and soft ticks was observed for 9 and 7 days respectively with 40% DEET [2].
Biochemical effects of juvenile hormone III on the tick, Argas (Persicargas) arboreus (Acari: Argasidae), during embryogenesis [3].
Induction of apolysis and cuticle formation in female Ornithodoros parkeri (Acari: Argasidae) by hemocoelic injections of beta-ecdysone [4].
