Ixodes Ricinus , The Castor Bean Tick , является в основном европейским видом жесткого клеката . Он может достигать длины 11 мм (0,43 дюйма) при набуждении к крови и может передавать как бактериальные, так и вирусные патогенные микроорганизмы, такие как причинные агенты заболевания Лайма и клещевой энцефалит .
Описание
[ редактировать ]Как и с другими видами ixodes , I. ricinus не имеет глаз и не является богатым; У него нет листонов (морщины вдоль заднего края). PALPI заднего длиннее, чем они широки, а анальная канавка выше прохода . [ 1 ] Он имеет твердый спинный щит, который охватывает всю опистосому (живот), но только его часть у женщин и нимф. [ 2 ] I. Ricinus является крупнейшим из трех распространенных видов Ixodes на Британских островах (два других - I. Canisuga , British Dog Chick и I. Trianguliceps , The Vole Tick). Взрослые мужчины имеют длину 2,4–2,8 мм (0,09–0,11 дюйма), а нерепедные нимфы составляют 1,3–1,5 мм (0,05–0,06 дюйма); Самки составляют 3,0–3,6 мм (0,12–0,14 дюйма) задолго до кормления и длиной 11 мм (0,43 дюйма). [ 3 ]
Distribution
[edit]Ixodes ricinus is found across Europe and into neighbouring parts of North Africa and the Middle East, extending as far north as Iceland and as far east as parts of Russia.[3] Its northern limit seems to be determined by environmental factors, including temperature, since a series of mild winters in Scandinavia coincided with an expansion northwards in the range of I. ricinus.[4]
I. ricinus is most frequent in habitats where its hosts are plentiful, including woodlands, heaths and forests.[3] It is most prevalent in relatively humid areas, and is absent from much of the Mediterranean Region where summers are dry.[5]
Role of climate change
[edit]As greenhouse gas emissions alter climatic conditions everywhere on Earth at a rapid rate, the range of conditions suitable for various species changes, and Ixodes ricinus is no exception. Some research expects it to become 5–7% more prevalent on livestock farms in Great Britain, depending on the severity of climate change scenario followed.[6]
Lifecycle
[edit]Ixodes ricinus has a three-host lifecycle, which usually takes 2–3 years to complete, although it can take from 1 to 6 years in extreme cases.[3] Adults feed on large mammals such as sheep, cattle, dogs, deer, humans, and horses for 6–13 days, before dropping off. An engorged female lays several thousand eggs and subsequently dies.[3] The larvae that hatch do not actively seek a host, and usually feed on insectivores (order Eulipotyphla), although they may also find rodents, rabbits, birds, reptiles, or bats.[3][7] They feed for 3–5 days before dropping off and moulting. The resulting nymphs then ascend grasses or twigs to seek their next host, but must return to the moist microclimate at the soil surface if they become dehydrated.[8] The nymphs feed on small to medium-sized mammals.[5]
Disease transmission
[edit]A number of tick-borne diseases can be transmitted by I. ricinus to a variety of mammal hosts.[3] Dogs can be infected with Lyme disease (borreliosis), caused by the spirochaete bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi, B. afzelii, and B. garinii. Cattle can become infected with redwater fever (from the protozoans Babesia divergens, B. bovis, and B. ovis), Lyme disease (from B. burgdorferi), sheep tick pyemia (Staphylococcus aureus), cattle tick-borne fever (Anaplasma phagocytophila), Q fever (Coxiella burnetii), Boutonneuse fever (Rickettsia conorii), and the bacterium Anaplasma marginale. Horses may be infected with Lyme disease, Anaplasma phagocytophila, and the viral infection louping ill. Humans can become infected with Lyme disease, louping ill, Q fever, and tick-borne encephalitis,[3] and sensitised[9] to mammalian red meat (and derived-products), known as alpha-gal allergy.[10]
Natural enemies
[edit]The parasitic wasp Ixodiphagus hookeri lays its eggs inside castor bean ticks, though the castor bean tick is not I. hookeri's sole host.
Taxonomic history
[edit]The scientific name of the castor bean tick dates back to the starting point of zoological nomenclature, the 1758 tenth edition of Carl Linnaeus' Systema Naturae, where it appeared as Acarus ricinus. Pierre André Latreille split the new genus Ixodes from Linnaeus' Acarus (which at that time contained all known ticks and mites), and I. ricinus was chosen as the type species.[11] It has subsequently been redescribed under a number of junior synonyms and subsequent combinations into different genera; these synonyms include Acarus ricinoides, Cynorhaestes reduvius, Cynorhaestes ricinus, Ixodes megathyreus, Ixodes bipunctatus, Cynorhaestes hermanni, Crotonus ricinus, Ixodes trabeatus, Ixodes plumbeus, Ixodes reduvius, Ixodes pustularum, Ixodes fodiens, Ixodes rufus, Ixodes sulcatus and Ixodes sciuri.[12]
