Ornithodoros Savignyi
''Ornithodoros savignyi'', known as sand tampan, African eyed tampan or Kalahari sand tampan, is one of some 37 species in the genus ''Ornithodoros'' and is a Argasidae, soft tick with a leathery, mammillated integument, causing paralysis and tampan toxicosis, two unrelated conditions. The sand tampan is an ectoparasite on humans, their livestock and wild animals, including birds and bats. Occurring in semi-desert areas of Africa, Saudi Arabia and other parts of the Persian Gulf, India, Sri Lanka and into Asia, it is able to survive for lengthy periods without feeding, spending most of its life burrowed under sand or loose soil, often in wait for animals that rest or sleep under trees or in the lee of rocks, but also in places where people or their animals congregate such as marketplaces, places of worship, cattle kraals and village squares. The timing of its activity is geared to coincide with that of potential hosts, but hot sunny conditions are usually avoided. Because of its ha ...

Ornithodoros Coriaceus
''Ornithodoros coriaceus'', the ''Pajahuello'' or Pajahuello tick, is a tick that feeds on the blood of mammals and birds. It is widely distributed throughout western North America from southern Mexico to Oregon. Although this species rarely bites humans (and is not known to transmit any disease to humans) its bite is considered to be particularly painful. It is the primary vector of the bacterium that causes Epizootic Bovine Abortion, a severe and commercially-important disease afflicting domestic cattle. Etymology The genus name of this species comes from the Greek roots ''ornitho–'' (bird) and –''doros'' (gift). The epithet ''coriaceus'' (leathery) refers to the texture of the cuticle, which is tough but softer than those of the more familiar hard-backed ticks (Ixodidae). The name ''Pajahuello'' was introduced by Banks in 1904, and was reiterated under this name by Furman and Loomis. This name appears to have stabilized as the common name most widely used in academic lit ...

''O. brasiliensis'' is a known parasite of humans, dogs, and smaller mammals such as armadillos and skunks. Life cycle ''O. brasiliensis'' hatches from an egg into its larval state. The larval stage does not need to feed, and molts to a nymphal stage after roughly a week. The nymph will seek to feed within two days of molting, noticeably faster than other ticks in the genus ''Ornithodoros''. The ticks will progress through a total of 4-7 nymphal stages, spending roughly 30 days in each stage, before developing into adults. Effects on host Tick toxicosis ''O. brasiliensis'', ...
