Ornithodoros turicata (Dugès) on a Feral Hog in Real County, Texas, USA

Abstract: The potential introduction of African swine fever virus (ASFV) into the US has researchers evaluating routes of potential transmission and the establishment of sylvatic cycles. To help document vector-host associations related to ASFV transmission, the finding of O. turicata on a feral hog in Real County, Texas is reported.
