Individual variation underlies large‐scale patterns: Host conditions and behavior affect parasitism
Ecology, Volume 106, Issue 1, January 2025.Abstract Identifying the factors that affect host–parasite interactions is essential for understanding the ecology and dynamics of vector‐borne diseases and may be an important component of predicting human disease risk. Characteristics of hosts themselves (e.g., body condition, host behavior, immune defenses) may affect the likelihood of parasitism ...

Blood Meal Analysis to Identify Reservoir Hosts for Amblyomma americanum Ticks
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2010 Efforts to identify wildlife reservoirs for tick-borne pathogens are frequently limited by poor understanding of tick–host interactions and potentially transient infectivity of hosts under natural conditions.

Time-resolved proteomic profile of Amblyomma americanum tick saliva during feeding.
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2020 Amblyomma americanum ticks transmit more than a third of human tick-borne disease (TBD) agents in the United States. Tick saliva proteins are critical to success of ticks as vectors of TBD agents, and thus might serve as targets in tick antigen-based ...

Tick borne illness in Missouri [PDF]
, 2014 Missouri is a hotbed for tick-borne illness given its abundance of rural geography and wildlife, especially deer. The two most frequently encountered ticks in Missouri are the lone star tick, Amblyomma americanum and the American dog tick, Dermacentor ...

Rhipicephalus microplus serine protease inhibitor family: annotation, expression and functional characterisation assessment [PDF]
, 2015 Background: Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus evades the host's haemostatic system through a complex protein array secreted into tick saliva. Serine protease inhibitors (serpins) conform an important component of saliva which are represented by a large
