Otobothriidae

Last updated

Otobothrioidea Dollfus is part of the five superfamilies of Palm's system. Through evolution it is seen that the bothrial pits of Otobothrioidea and the bothrial grooves of the Lacistorhynchoidea Guiart are related (Haseli, & Malekpour Fard, Z., 2017).

Additional organisms that may be transmitted by Ixodes are parasites from the genus Babesia, which cause babesiosis, and bacteria from the related genus Anaplasma, which cause anaplasmosis.
