Science - Livestock / Animal Husbandry / Ostrich farming
English term or phrase: Ixodid tick
CONTEXT:

"Nevertheless, in certain areas ostrich farming has hit a wall in the last few years, after ostriches were found to enable the transmission of Lyme disease. It can be transmitted to humans by the ixodid tick, a parasite that commonly infects a wide range of warm-blooded animals, including ostriches and humans."

Spanish translation:garrapatas duras / ixódidos
Explanation:
Take the former with a pinch of salt, as it is used in thousands of documents on the Internet but it may not be the "natural" Spanish name. The latter is the scientific name.

Comúnmente se las llama "garrapatas duras", pero en función del grado de formalidad o tecnicismo de tu texto puede ser preferible referirse al nombre científico de la especie.
