The infective forms of Nuttallia meri, a small-mammal piroplasm, first appear as spindle-shaped sporozoites in and around the salivary glands of Ornithodoros erraticus (small race) 30 days after the ticks had fed on infected blood. O. erraticus is the only soft tick so far proved to transmit a piroplasm.
梅氏纳塔利亚(一种寄生于小型哺乳动物的梨形虫)的感染形式,在蜱吸食感染血液30天后,首先以纺锤形子孢子的形式出现在奇异钝缘蜱(小种)唾液腺及其周围。奇异钝缘蜱是目前已证实能传播梨形虫的唯一软蜱。
