- The hard ( Ixodidae ) and soft bodied ( Argasidae ) ticks diverged ?
- The Argasidae appear monophyletic in this study.
- "Ornithodoros hermsi " is a soft-bodied tick of the family Argasidae.
- There are three rDNA analysis suggests that the Ixodidae are a clade, but that the Argasidae may be paraphyletic.
- The Ixodidae contains over 700 species of hard ticks with a scutum or hard shield, which the Argasidae lack.
- Soft ticks of the family Argasidae lack the hard scutum or shield present in hard ticks of the family Ixodidae.
- Other ticks, mainly the Argasidae, are " nidicolous ", finding hosts in their nests or burrows, and in caves in the case of bats.
- Almost all ticks belong to one of two major families, the Ixodidae or hard ticks, which are difficult to crush, and the Argasidae or soft ticks.
- They are distinguished from the other main family of ticks, the "'soft ticks "'( Argasidae ) by the presence of a scutum or hard shield.
- Confirmed arthropods consumed include one mite species ( Macronyssidae ), two batfly species ( Streblidae ), one tick species ( Argasidae ), and two bat-mite species ( Labidocarpidae ).
- In the Argasidae, the tick's cuticle stretches to accommodate the fluid ingested but does not grow new cells, the weight of the tick increasing five to tenfold over the unfed state.
- Phylogenetic analysis has shown that these viruses fall into two major monophyletic groups, the hard ( " Ixodidae " ) and soft ( " Argasidae " ) tick-vectored groups.
- In both the nymph and the adult, a prominent capitulum ( head ) projects forwards from the animal's body; in the Argasidae, conversely, the capitulum is concealed beneath the body.
