Isolation of Cell Lines and a Rickettsial Endosymbiont from the Soft Tick Carios capensis (Acari: Argasidae: Ornithodorinae)
2007-11-01
Abstract excerpt
Soft ticks are medically important ectoparasites of birds and mammals that are found throughout the world. This report describes isolation and partial characterization of two embryonic cell lines, CCE2 and CCE3, from the seabird soft tick Carios capensis (Neumann). Sequencing of the mitochondrial 16S rRNA gene and karyology confirmed the lines were derived from C. capensis. CCE3 cells were diploid with a modal chr...
