	Ticks - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Collectively the Ixodidae and Argasidae may be distinguished from other Acari by the presence of a median probe, armed with recurved teeth, which project forwards beneath the mouth and between the palpi, and of a conspicuous spiracular area above and usually behind the base of the fourth leg on each side.
		Both the Argasidae and Ixodidae contain pathogenic species, of which the best known are the following: Ornithodoros monbata, belonging to the Argasidae, and called bibo in Uganda, monbata in Angola, and tampan on the Zambezi, is widely distributed in tropical Africa from Uganda in the north to the Transvaal in the south.
		It was first recorded as poisonous by Livingstone and is now known to be the carrier of the Spirochaete of relapsing fever in man, known as tick fever.

	Ticks of Canada - Technology Transfer
		Excepting some taxa of Argasidae, the palpal tibiotarsus is small, and it is sometimes reduced to an inconspicuous papilla lying in a ventral depression near the apex of the palpal genu.
		The notation applied to the leg setae is that proposed by Evans (1963a, 1969) for mesostigmatic mites and applied to larval Ixodidae by Edwards and Evans (1967) and to larval Argasidae by Edwards (1975) and Klompen (1992).
		The larval setation of tarsus I is not readily used diagnostically for species of ticks, due to the number and complexity of structures present, to difficulties in discerning some of them readily, without access to scanning electron microscopy, and to lack of a reliable notation for structures, based on homologies.

		Tick (atel) any of the members Argasidae and Ixodidae of two families of the order Acarina, class Arachnida that are ectoparasitic on vertebrate animals other than fishes.
		The members of the family Ixodidae are commonly known as hard ticks, and those of Argasidae, the soft ticks.
		They are easily distinguished from insects in that the body is not definitely divided, ie, there is a strong fusion of the thorax and abdomen producing a sac-like leathery appearance.

	Advantix Info: Developmental Cycle
		In the Argasidae, development is gradual, with multiple nymphal stages before reaching the adult form (multi-host life cycle).
		This pattern is similar to that of most other Acari, to which the normal sequence of developmental stages includes a larva, 4 nymphal stages and the adult (Woolley, 1988).
		In the Argasidae, small egg batches are deposited after each blood meal.

	Advantix Info: Life Cycles Argasidae
		This is similar to the situation seen in ixodid ticks, where there is a linear relationship between unfed and fed weight of the immatures and the sex of the adult; the lightest immatures developed into males, the heaviest into females (Arthur and Snow, 1966).
		In the Argasidae, the passage of so many nymphal stages contributes to a much longer life cycle than in the Ixodidae.
		In the Argasidae, adults become sexually active after emergence from the last nymphal molt, and they do not require a blood meal to initiate gametogenesis.

		They are referred to as “ticks of the host” because they spend much of their active life on hosts.
		In the case of the Argasidae ticks the females feed at intervals only increasing their body weight by up to three times.
		Ixodidae ticks may be controlled by treating hosts whilst the Argasidae ticks are typically controlled by treatment of the habitat ie the harbourages of the ticks.

	Ixodida (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The Ixodidae and Argasidae are large and cosmopolitan families, whereas the Nuttalliellidae has one species which has only been found in South Africa and Tanzania (Evans, 1992).
		Other prominent features of ticks are their large size, when compared to other mites, and Haller's organ, a complex sensory apparatus on tarsus 1 (the holothyridan mites have a homologous organ).
		The phylogenetic relationships of the three families of ticks, the Argasidae, Ixodidae and Nuttalliellidae, are unresolved.

	ARTHROPODS - TICKS
		There are two families of ticks: the hard ticks (Ixodidae) and the soft ticks (Argasidae) (figure 1).
		The family Argasidae is divided into four genera: Argas, Ornithodoros, Antricola, and Otobius (figure 3 L).
		Soft ticks (family Argasidae) differ in many ways from the so-called hard ticks (family Ixodidae), but the most important is that they take brief meals from their host and then drop off.

	Ticks: Life Cycle, Anatomy, Disease, and Control in Ferrets
		The tick family Ixodidae consists of ticks that have a hard outer covering called a 'scutum,' and therefore, are termed hard-shelled ticks.
		The family Argasidae contains the argasid ticks, which are soft-shelled.
		An argasid has its head located ventrally (on the underside of its body) and when the tick is viewed from above, the head cannot be seen.The soft-shelled ticks or Argasids are fewer in number.

	Ectoparasites \| 4 Ticks
		Argasidae: argasids or soft ticks, with a tough, leathery skin and a concealed ventrally projecting capitulum (± 170 species).
		For example, transmission of Lyme disease is unlikely if the tick is removed rapidly.
		This is in contrast to the Argasidae, where infections such as recurrent fever can be relatively rapidly transmitted as these animals have a different feeding behaviour.
