|q1=What are seed ticks?
|a1=Tick larvae
|l1=Arachnida#Life Cycle
|q2=How can you differentiate hard ticks from soft ticks?
|a2=
*Soft ticks have no scutum
*The mouthparts are not visible from the dorsal surface of soft ticks
*Hard ticks have festoons
*Hard ticks can be ornate
|l2=Suborder: Metastigmata, ticks#Morphology
|q3=True or False: Soft ticks can swell up to three times their body size whilst taking a blood meal
|a3=
*False
*Soft ticks feed little and often and cannot expand to three times their body size whilst feeding
*Female hard ticks can swell up to three times their body size whilst engorging on a blood meal
|l3=Suborder: Metastigmata, ticks#Morphology
|q4=List the mouthparts of ticks
|a4=
*Hypostome
*Chelicerae
*Palps
|l4=Suborder: Metastigmata, ticks#Mouthparts
|q5=Fill in the missing words about soft and hard ticks:
<p>Soft ticks feed ??? and on ??? hosts. Hard ticks take ??? at each life cycle stage and can feed on ??? different hosts during their life cycle.</p>
|a5=
*little and often
*many
*one blood meal
*one, two or three
|l5=Suborder: Metastigmata, ticks#Life Cycle
|q6=What is trans-ovarian transmission and give an example of a species of tick which uses this
|a6=
*Infection is passed from one generation of ticks to the next through the egg
*Babesia
|l6=Suborder: Metastigmata, ticks#Disease Transmission
|q7=What is trans-stadial transmission?
|a7=
*Parasite or microbial organism is ingested during feeding
*Organism passed onto the next host as the tick develops (only in two and three host ticks)
*It is not passed onto the next generation through the egg
|l7=Suborder: Metastigmata, ticks#Disease Transmission
|q8=What is the most important tick species in the UK, how many hosts does it feed upon and what disease can it spread?
|a8=
*Ixodes species
*3 host tick
*Transmits Lyme Disease
|l8=Suborder: Metastigmata, ticks#Important UK Hard Ticks
|q9=What climate does Rhipicephalus species prefer and what is it a vector for?
|a9=
*Warmer climates
*Theileria parva for East Coast Fever
*Babesia bigemina
*Babesia canis and Ehrlichia canis
|l9=Suborder: Metastigmata, ticks#Important Overseas Hard Ticks
|q10=Name some important soft ticks
|a10=
*Argas species
*Ornithodorus species
*Otobius species
|l10=Suborder: Metastigmata, ticks#Important Overseas Soft Ticks
|q11=
*What are the main methods of tick control?
|a11=
*Killing ticks on the ground
*Separate the host from infection
*Killing ticks on the host
*Enhancing stock resistance
