Darci Moraes Barros-Battesti,Gabriel Alves Landulfo,Valeria C. Onofrio,João Luiz Horácio Faccini,Arlei Marcili,Fernanda A. Nieri-Bastos,José M. Venzal,Marcelo Bahia Labruna +7 more
TL;DR: Molecular analysis inferred from a portion of the 16S rRNA mitochondrial gene placed C. mimon in a cluster supported by maximal bootstrap value (100%) with other argasid species (mostly bat parasites in the New World), which have been classified into either the genus Ornithodoros or Carios, depending on the Argasidae classification adopted by different authors.

Experimental infection of the rabbit tick, Haemaphysalis leporispalustris, with the bacterium Rickettsia rickettsii, and comparative biology of infected and uninfected tick lineages
TL;DR: Results of the present study showed that H. leporispalustris could support infection by a high virulent strain of R. rickettsii for at least two generations, in which infected tick lineages tended to have better performance than uninfected ticks.
