Abstract: Ticks are second only to mosquitoes as vectors of disease to humans and animals. Tick host detection is mainly ascribed to Haller’s organ, a complex sensory structure on the tick foreleg that detects odors, carbon… read more here.

Abstract: Simple Summary Chemosensation is thought to be the primary sensory mechanism used by ticks to locate their host and partners, as they appear to lack functional eyes or hearing organs, in which their unique olfactory… read more here.
