Genus
Genus ( plural genera ) is a taxonomic rank used in the biological classification of extant taxon, living and fossil organisms as well as Virus classification#ICTV classification, viruses. In the hierarchy of biological classification, genus comes above species and below family (taxonomy), family. In binomial nomenclature, the genus name forms the first part of the binomial species name for each species within the genus. :E.g. ''Panthera leo'' (lion) and ''Panthera onca'' (jaguar) are two species within the genus ''Panthera''. ''Panthera'' is a genus within the family Felidae. The composition of a genus is determined by taxonomy (biology), taxonomists. The standards for genus classification are not strictly codified, so different authorities often produce different classifications for genera. There are some general practices used, however, including the idea that a newly defined genus should fulfill these three criteria to be descriptively useful: # monophyly – all descendants ...

Tick
Ticks (order Ixodida) are parasitic arachnids that are part of the mite superorder Parasitiformes. Adult ticks are approximately 3 to 5 mm in length depending on age, sex, species, and "fullness". Ticks are external parasites, living by feeding on the blood of mammals, birds, and sometimes reptiles and amphibians. The timing of the origin of ticks is uncertain, though the oldest known tick fossils are from the Cretaceous period, around 100 million years old. Ticks are widely distributed around the world, especially in warm, humid climates. Ticks belong to two major families, the Ixodidae or hard ticks, and the Argasidae, or soft ticks. ''Nuttalliella,'' a genus of tick from southern Africa is the only member of the family Nuttalliellidae, and represents the most primitive living lineage of ticks. Adults have ovoid/pear-shaped bodies (idiosomas) which become engorged with blood when they feed, and eight legs. Their cephalothorax and abdomen are completely fused. In addit ...

Nothoaspis
''Nothoapis'' is a genus in the soft-bodied tick family, Argasidae The Argasidae are the family of soft ticks, one of the three families of ticks. The family contains 193 species, although the composition of the genera is less certain, and more study is needed before the genera can become stable. The currently a .... It is very similar to those of the genus '' Antricola''. The genus's origin is '' Nothoaspis reddelli'', which is the only tick species with a false shield on the anterior half of its body, propagating both a new genus and a new species.

Nothoaspis Reddelli
''Nothoaspis reddelli'', also known as ''Carios reddelli'', is a tick that feeds on the ghost-faced bat. Discovery The tick was discovered in 1975 by James E. Kierans and Carleton M. Clifford in a cave located in Campeche, Mexico. The tick is very similar to those of the genus ''Antricola'', but ''Nothoaspis reddelli'' is the only tick species with a false shield on the anterior (front) half of its body, showing it to be both a new genus and a new species. Life cycle The most common host of ''Nothoaspis reddelli'' is the insectivorous bat ''Mormoops megalophylla''. A member of the Argasidae family, ''N. reddelli,'' has a multi-host life cycle (feeding on two or more hosts), feeding off each host to reach adulthood. After hatching, the instar finds its first host to feed upon and grows into a larva. The larva molts and develops into a nymph, which finds the second host. After feeding off and leaving its second host, ''N. reddelli'' molts once more. The nymph then feeds on a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Journal Of Parasitology
The ''Journal of Parasitology'' is a peer-reviewed medical journal covering research on parasites published bimonthly by Allen Press on behalf of the American Society of Parasitologists. Content includes research articles, brief research notes, announcements of the society, and book reviews. It was founded and edited by Henry Baldwin Ward in 1914. History In 1911, Charles C. Stiles and Brayton H. Ransom at the Bureau of Animal Industry in Washington, D.C., promulgated the need for parasitology journal in America. They asked Henry Baldwin Ward, at the time professor of zoology at the University of Illinois, to initiate the production. The name of the journal was proposed as ''The American Journal of Parasitology'', which George H. Simmons, secretary and editor for the ''Journal of the American Medical Association'' changed as the ''Journal of Parasitology'' as he felt that it would have more international recognition. Ward, as the owner and managing editor, released the first issu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Antricola Delacruzi
''Antricola delacruzi'' is a species of soft shell ticks in the family Argasidae. Like ''Nothoaspis'', another genus in the same family, Antricola species infest cave-dwelling bats. ''A. delacruzi'' exclusively parasites insectivorous cave-dwelling bats of the Pteronotus genus, and are only parasitic in larva form, and are non-parasitic as adults. In both adult and larva form the primary food source appears to be bat guano Guano (Spanish from qu, wanu) is the accumulated excrement of seabirds or bats. As a manure, guano is a highly effective fertilizer due to the high content of nitrogen, phosphate, and potassium, all key nutrients essential for plant growth.

Antricola Guglielmonei
''Antricola guglielmonei'' is a species of soft shell tick in the family Argasidae. Like ''Nothoaspis'', another genus in the same family, Antricola species infest cave-dwelling bats. ''A. guglielmonei'' is similar to Antricola delacruzi of the same genus and have been found together on bat guano Guano (Spanish from qu, wanu) is the accumulated excrement of seabirds or bats.

Antricola Inexpectata
''Antricola inexpectata'' is a species of soft shell ticks in the family Argasidae. Like ''Nothoaspis'', another genus in the same family, Antricola species infest cave-dwelling bats. ''A. inexpectata'' parasites insectivorous cave-dwelling bats of the Pteronotus genus, and are only parasitic in larva form, and are non-parasitic as adults. ''A. inexpectata'' is closely related to Antricola delacruzi and Antricola guglielmonei. In both adult and larva form the primary food source appears to be bat guano Guano (Spanish from qu, wanu) is the accumulated excrement of seabirds or bats.

Antricola Marginatus
''Antricola marginatus'' is a species of tick in the family Argasidae. Like ''Nothoaspis'', another genus in the same family, ''Antricola'' species infest cave-dwelling bats; ''A. marginatus'' is found on Cuba and Puerto Rico. Unusually for a tick, ''A. marginatus'' shows maternal care of its offspring. These ticks are considered soft ticks, because of their subterminal capitulum (head) found in nymphs A nymph ( grc, νύμφη, nýmphē, el, script=Latn, nímfi, label=Modern Greek; , ) in ancient Greek folklore is a minor female nature deity. Different from Greek goddesses, nymphs are generally regarded as personifications of nature, are typ ... (juvenile ticks with a full complement of legs) and adult ticks. The capitulum of these ticks can not be seen in dorsal view because it lies within a groove or depression called a camerostome. The dorsal wall of the camerostome extends over the capitulum and is called the hood. References Ticks Parasites of bats ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
