Abstract
The genus Ornithodoros was first described with the reclassification of Ornithodoros coriaceus and Ornithodoros savignyi, which had previously been attributed to the genus Argas. Koch translated ‘Ornis’, which means bird from Greek to Latin and ‘doros’ meaning a leather sack (Petney and Maiwald in Tick nomenclature. Lancet 348:1251, 1996).
