Abstract excerpt
The base sequence of the rDNA D3 expansion segment and flanking H14 stem varies between six species of Ixodes ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) where only 33 invariant sites occur among sequences of 123-203 bases in length. Multiple copies of D3 were sequenced from localities across the geographical ranges of four species to investigate deep population genetic structure. Two species, I. pacificus, from western North...
