Walker, Jane B. (Jane Brotherton)| Call Number | 595.4/29 |
| Author | Walker, Jane B. author. |
| Title | The genus Rhipicephalus (Acardi, Ixodidae) : a guide to the brown ticks of the world / by Jane B. Walker, James E. Keirans, and Ivan G. Horak. |
| Physical Description | 1 online resource (xii, 643 pages) : digital, PDF file(s). |
| Notes | Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 05 Oct 2015). |
| Contents | Introduction -- Relationships of the ticks (Ixodida) and definition of the genus Rhipicephalus -- Format for the accounts of individual species -- Glossary -- Rhipicephalus species names of the world -- Rhipicephalus species occurring in the Afrotropical region -- Accounts of individual species occurring in the Afrotropical region -- Host/parasite list for the Afrotropical Rhipicephalus species -- Rhipicephalus species occurring outside the Afrotropical region -- Accounts of individual species occurring outside the Afrotropical region -- Host/parasite list for the non-Afrotropical Rhipicephalus species -- Species groups based on the immature stages. |
| Summary | Ticks in the genus Rhipicephalus include many important vectors of animal and human pathogens, but many species are notoriously difficult to identify, particularly as immature stages. This reference volume provides identification keys for adult ticks from the Afrotropical regions and elsewhere. For the nymphs and larvae, unique plates have been compiled in which line drawings of the capitula of similar species are grouped together to facilitate identification. Brief well-illustrated descriptions of the known stages of every species are given, plus information on their hosts, distribution, and disease relationships. Tables providing data on host/parasite relationships and disease transmission are also included, making this the definitive reference source on this group for all those interested in acarology, veterinary or medical parasitology and entomology for many years to come. |
