Dermacentor reticulatus, also known as the ornate cow tick, ornate dog tick, meadow tick, and marsh tick,[2] is a species of tick from the family Ixodidae. It is the type species for the genus Dermacentor.[1] D. reticulatus is an ornate tick.[3] The female varies in size from 3.8–4.2 mm (unfed) to 10 mm when engorged after feeding.[4] The unfed male is 4.2–4.8 mm long.[4] D. reticulatus is found in Europe and Western Asia,[5] generally in wooded areas.[3]
Lifecycle
D. reticulartus has a three-host development cycle.[6] The adult female remains on a host for 9–15 days,[7] and can lay 3000–4500 eggs,[7] although the total number of eggs depends on the size of the female.[3] The larva hatches from the egg in 14–21 days.[8]
Disease transmission
D. reticulatus is a vector of various disease organisms, including Babesia canis, Francisella tularensis, Coxiella burnetti, Theileria equi, and several Rickettsia species,[9] such as Rickettsia slovaca.[10]
