Factors affecting the microbiome of Ixodes scapularis and Amblyomma americanum

PLoS ONE, 2020
The microbial community composition of disease vectors can impact pathogen establishment and transmission as well as on vector behavior and fitness. While data on vector microbiota are accumulating quickly, determinants of the variation in disease vector

New insights into the molecular phylogeny, biogeographical history, and diversification of Amblyomma ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) based on mitogenomes and nuclear sequences

Parasites & Vectors
Background Amblyomma is the third most diversified genus of Ixodidae that is distributed across the Indomalayan, Afrotropical, Australasian (IAA), Nearctic and Neotropical biogeographic ecoregions, reaching in the Neotropic its highest diversity.

Current and Future Distribution of the Lone Star Tick, Amblyomma americanum (L.) (Acari: Ixodidae) in North America

PLoS ONE, 2019
Acarological surveys in areas outside the currently believed leading edge of the distribution of lone star ticks (Amblyomma americanum), coupled with recent reports of their identification in previously uninvaded areas in the public health literature ...

First record of Rickettsia bellii in Amblyomma varium and Amblyomma goeldii from the Eastern Amazon [PDF]

Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária
This study investigated the presence of Rickettsia spp., Ehrlichia spp., Anaplasma spp., and Borrelia spp. DNA in questing ticks collected from a forest fragment under constant anthropogenic pressure in the state of Pará, Brazil. The fragment was divided

Intra- and interspecific variation of Amblyomma ticks from southern Africa

Parasites & Vectors
Background Amblyomma spp. ticks, known for their long mouthparts, bright ornate appearance and aggressive hunting behaviour, are vectors of a number of important pathogens. In southern Africa, 17 Amblyomma spp. are currently documented. Of these species,

Molecular detection of Cercopithifilaria, Cruorifilaria and Dipetalonema-like filarial nematodes in ticks of French Guiana

Parasite, 2023
Filarial nematodes of the Dipetalonema lineage are widespread parasites and include some species that are transmitted by ticks. In this study, we conducted a large molecular survey of ticks in French Guiana, South America, to understand the overall ...

Comparative mitogenomics elucidates the population genetic structure of Amblyomma testudinarium in Japan and a closely related Amblyomma species in Myanmar

Evolutionary Applications, 2022
Ticks are the second most important vector capable of transmitting diseases affecting the health of both humans and animals. Amblyomma testudinarium Koch 1844 (Acari: Ixodidae), is a hard tick species having a wide geographic distribution in Asia.
