title: Study the protein content differences between common argasid species found in Egypt.
abstract: This work showed protein analysis differentiates between the argasid tick species. Protein band numbers found in the different ticks were 15, 12, 8 and 14 bands of Argas persicus, A. hermanni, A. arborius, and the Ornithodorus savignyi respectively. The proteins with molecular weights 410 and 17 kD were found only in A. persicus. One protein with M.W 126 kD was found in O. savignyi. The absence of the protein with MW 88 kDa is only shown in A. hermanni. A. arborius, only eight protein bands are shown and the nonexistence proteins Mw were (181, 77, 21, 15.6 and 8.66 kDa) which are found in the other tick samples.
