Galactose-α-1,3-galactose Allergy Induced by Amblyomma americanum: A Review and Introduction of Experimental Designs [PDF]
, 2017 The galactose-α-1,3-galactose (alpha-gal) allergy was identified following a drug trial of Cetuximab. The patients who reacted with anaphylaxis had all previously been bitten by the lone star tick.

The mitochondrial genome of the lone star tick (Amblyomma americanum)
Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2015 Amblyomma americanum is an abundant tick in the southeastern, midwestern, and northeastern United States. It is a vector of multiple diseases, but limited genomic resources are available for it. We sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome of a single female A. americanum collected in Georgia using the Illumina platform. The consensus sequence was 14,

Discovery of filarial nematode DNA in Amblyomma americanum in Northern Virginia [PDF]
Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2016 Ticks collected in 2011 were screened for the presence of filarial nematode genetic material, and positive samples were sequenced for analysis. Monanema-like filarial nematode DNA was recently discovered in Amblyomma americanum in northern Virginia, marking the first time genetic material from this parasite has been discovered in ticks in the state ...

Ecography, Volume 2025, Issue 3, March 2025.A necessary component of understanding vector‐borne disease risk is accurate characterization of the distributions of their vectors. Species distribution models have been successfully applied to data‐rich species but may produce inaccurate results for sparsely documented vectors. In light of global change, vectors that are currently not well‐documented

Scientific Reports, 2020 Ixodid ticks are ectoparasites that feed exclusively on blood as their source of nutrients. Although ticks spend most of their life off the host, until now it has been assumed that the blood and the water vapor are the only sources of water to maintain ...

Whole Genome Sequencing Reveals Clade‐Specific Genetic Variation in Blacklegged Ticks
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 2, February 2025.In this study, we performed whole genome nanopore sequencing of individual blacklegged ticks across their geographical range to evaluate genetic divergence among populations. Our integrated analyses identified genetic variants associated with numerous biological processes and molecular functions that segregated across populations.
