The Parasitiformes are a superorder of Acari and include ticks and some mites. Ticks are blood-feeding external parasites of animals. There are about 850 species worldwide in two families, Ixodidae (hard ticks), and Argasidae (soft ticks). Both hard and soft ticks are important vectors of disease in humans and other animals.
