Improved understanding of tick phylogeny has allowed testing of some biogeographical patterns. On the basis of both literature data and a meta-analysis of available sequence data, there is strong support for a Gondwanan origin of Ixodidae, and probably Ixodida. A particularly strong pattern is observed for the genus Amblyomma, which appears to have originated in Antarctica/southern South America, with subsequent dispersal to Australia. The endemic Australian lineages of Ixodidae (no other…

A remarkable assemblage of ticks from mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber
TLDR
Four fossil ticks from mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber of Myanmar are described, including Ixodes antiquorum sp.
New records of Ixodes amarali (Acari: Ixodidae) in the Amazon biome, with description of the male
TLDR
Phylogenetic analysis inferred from 16S rRNA partial sequences showed that I. amarali (male and female) from Amazon grouped with a sequence of I. loricatus from southeastern Brazil and with sequences of Ixodes luciae Sénevet, 1940, and Ixode schulzei Aragão and Fonseca, 1951, which constitute the so-called “I. lricatus group”.
Molecular phylogeny of Amblyomma exornatum and Amblyomma transversale, with reinstatement of the genus Africaniella (Acari: Ixodidae) for the latter.
Association between guilds of birds in the African-Western Palaearctic region and the tick species Hyalomma rufipes, one of the main vectors of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus
Ecological Niche Models of Four Hard Tick Genera (Ixodidae) in Mexico
TLDR
Ecological niche models have proven to be useful in estimating the geographic distribution of many taxa of ticks and can improve the understanding of the dynamics of vector-borne diseases and can assist public health decision-making processes.
Phylogenies from mitochondrial genomes of 120 species of ticks: Insights into the evolution of the families of ticks and of the genus Amblyomma.
Relations of the imago of Ixodes persulcatus (Schulze, 1930) and large mammals in natural biogeocenoses of the Northern Urals of Russia
TLDR
The objective of the research was to study the composition of the hosts of adult Ixodes persulcatus living in the Northern Urals of Russia and to determine their significance in the life of these parasites.
The mitochondrial genome of the ornate sheep tick, Dermacentor marginatus
TLDR
The mitochondrial genome of a single female D. marginatus collected in Slovakia was sequenced through the Illumina HiSeq sequencing platform andylogenetic analyses indicate that D.marginatus is clustered with other Dermacentor species, helpful for exploring the systematics and evolution of ticks in the future.
Description of a new soft tick species (Acari: Argasidae: Ornithodoros) parasite of Octodon degus (Rodentia: Octodontidae) in northern Chile.
The mitochondrial genome and phylogenetic analysis of the tick Haemaphysalis qinghaiensis Teng, 1980 (Acari:Ixodidae)
TLDR
The phylogenetic analysis based on the concatenation of 13 PCGs from 65 tick mitogenomes showed that the H. qinghaiensis was clustered into a well-supported clade within the Haemaphysalis genus.
