Viral agents recovered from Ornithodoros coriaceus, a vector of epizootic bovine abortion. 1980

D G McKercher, and E M Wada, and S K Ault, and J H Theis

Two unidentified viral isolates from the tick, Ornithodoros coriaceus, the probable vector of the causative agent of epizootic bovine abortion, did not cause any untoward reactions in pregnant heifers which were experimentally inoculated or which were exposed to bites of O coriaceus that had been infected with cultures of the two isolates. Seemingly, neither viral isolate is involved in the cause of epizootic bovine abortion.

D013987 Ticks Blood-sucking acarid parasites of the order Ixodida comprising two families: the softbacked ticks (ARGASIDAE) and hardbacked ticks (IXODIDAE). Ticks are larger than their relatives, the MITES. They penetrate the skin of their host by means of highly specialized, hooked mouth parts and feed on its blood. Ticks attack all groups of terrestrial vertebrates. In humans they are responsible for many TICK-BORNE DISEASES, including the transmission of ROCKY MOUNTAIN SPOTTED FEVER; TULAREMIA; BABESIOSIS; AFRICAN SWINE FEVER; and RELAPSING FEVER.
