Ticks
• Class Arachnida– closely related to mites

Ticks of Veterinary Importance
Ixodidae• sclerotized dorsal shield
– “hard ticks”
Argasidae• unsclerotized
– “soft ticks”
![Page 5: A Brief Review of Ticks and Tick-Borne Diseases...with a little radiology Billy MacDonald](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022032104/56649cd65503460f9499d631/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Ticks of Veterinary Importance
Ixodidae• sclerotized dorsal shield
– “hard ticks”
• sexually dimorphic– females larger– male scutum covers dorsum
Argasidae• unsclerotized
– “soft ticks”
• little sexual dimorphism

Ticks of Veterinary Importance
Ixodidae• primarily off host
– “sit-and-wait”
• mate on host• require days to complete
engorgement• live outdoors
Argasidae• live in close proximity to
host• mate off host• require mins - hrs to feed
and feed repeatedly• live in dwelling/sleeping
places of hosts

diagnosis
• clinical lab findings– inflammatory changes in synovial fluid
• serology– ELISA detects antibodies to B. burgdorferi
• Isolation– culture is most definitive...but also most difficult
due to limited number of organisms present– PCR
