EDITORS COMMENTS
Ornithodoros moubata: The Menacing African Mite Carrying the Deadly African Swine Fever Virus This striking studio shot captures the ominous presence of Ornithodoros moubata, an acarid tick species native to Africa. Known as the "bird-killing tick," this arthropod is a notorious pest and carrier of African swine fever virus. Ornithodoros moubata is a member of the Argasidae family and the Acarina order, belonging to the class Arachnida and phylum Arthropoda. The tick's body measures around 1 cm in length, and it is characterized by its flat, oval shape and eight legs. The tick's coloration varies from reddish-brown to dark brown, with a light-colored shield on its dorsal side. The Ornithodoros moubata's lifecycle consists of three stages: larva, nymph, and adult. This tick is an ectoparasite, meaning it feeds externally on the blood of its hosts. It primarily infests birds, rodents, and other mammals, including pigs, which are the primary hosts of African swine fever. The African swine fever virus, transmitted through the saliva of the Ornithodoros moubata tick, causes a severe hemorrhagic fever in pigs, leading to high mortality rates. The disease is characterized by fever, vascular damage, and hemorrhaging. The virus is not transmissible to humans but can cause significant economic losses in the swine industry. This photo serves as a stark reminder of the importance of tick control measures in preventing the spread of African swine fever and other diseases carried by ticks. The Ornithodoros moubata's menacing presence underscores the ongoing threat posed by these arthropods to both wildlife and livestock populations in Africa and beyond.
