Article Abstract
Scopulariopsis brevicaulis, the anamorph of Microascus brevicaulis (Microascaceae, Ascomycota), has been identified in the body contents of the tick Dermacentor variabilis. After topical application of the fungal inoculum, tick mortality was marked. This is the first account describing the internal mycoflora of D. variabilis with a novel technique used to recover potential biological control agents.

The destruction and decline of prairie habitats due to landscape repurposing have profoundly impacted the diversity of plant, animal, and insect life. In the Central United States, the reconstruction of prairie habitats from farmland is a widely applied strategy to raise diversity and recreate a healthy, complex ecosystem. In Central Missouri, we examine the consequences of reconstruction efforts on the prevalence of zoonotic diseases and their associated pathogens by performing tick-flagging at two prairie sites.

Ticks serve as vectors and reservoirs for a variety of pathogens, including protozoa, bacteria, and viruses, that cause tick-borne diseases in both humans and livestock. Despite their widespread distribution, their genetic diversity and population structure in Xizang have not been thoroughly investigated. In this study, sheep ticks were identified from four counties by microscopy, followed by genetic analysis of Dermacentor everestianus populations in Xizang based on mitochondrial 16S rRNA and cytochrome oxidase subunit 1 (COI) gene sequences.

Background: Vietnam and its region are regarded as an ixodid tick biodiversity hotspot for at least two genera: Haemaphysalis and Dermacentor. To contribute to our knowledge on the tick fauna of this country, ticks from these two genera as well as an Ixodes species were analyzed morphologically and their molecular-phylogenetic relationships were examined in taxonomic and geographical contexts.
Methods: For this study, seven Haemaphysalis sp.
