Alpha‐Gal Syndrome: An Underrated Serious Disease and a Potential Future Challenge

Global Challenges, Volume 8, Issue 7, July 2024.
This review delineates alpha‐gal syndrome (AGS), a delayed hypersensitivity to red meat induced by the oligosaccharide alpha‐gal, commonly triggered by tick bites. Unlike conventional food allergies, AGS symptoms emerge several hours after ingestion and may be exacerbated by exposure to specific medical products.

Targeting Haemaphysalis longicornis serpin to prevent tick feeding and pathogen transmission

Insect Science, Volume 31, Issue 3, Page 694-706, June 2024.
Fed nymphal Haemaphysalis longicornis ticks produce anticoagulant serpins (Hlserpin‐a and Hlserpin‐b) that aid tick feeding. Targeting these serpins through RNA interference or immunization significantly impairs tick feeding. Silencing Hlserpins also reduces Langat virus transmission from ticks to mice.

Saliva from nymph and adult females of Haemaphysalis longicornis: a proteomic study [PDF]

, 2015
BACKGROUND: Haemaphysalis longicornis is a major vector of Theileria spp., Anaplasma phagocytophilum, Babesia spp. and Coxiella burnetti in East Asian countries. All life stages of ixodid ticks have a destructive pool-feeding style in which they create a

Alpha-Gal Syndrome after Ixodes scapularis Tick Bite and Statewide Surveillance, Maine, USA, 2014–2023

Emerging Infectious Diseases
In the United States, alpha-gal syndrome (AGS) is primarily associated with lone star tick (Amblyomma americanum) bites. We describe AGS onset after an Ixodes scapularis tick bite and present AGS surveillance in Maine, 2014–2023.

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.

Alpha-Gal Allergy: a new threat to Appalachia

Marshall Journal of Medicine, 2021
Alpha-gal allergy, or mammalian meat allergy, is described as the development of IgE antibodies to the oligosaccharide galactose-a-1,3-galactose following a bite from the tick species Amblyomma americanum (Lone Star tick) or Dermacentor variabillis (Wood

Collection of Ticks for Surveillance of Disease Agents on a Mountain in Central Virginia [PDF]

, 2016
Tick-borne disease is found all over the world, and interest in disease surveillance for tick-borne illnesses has increased, partly because some of the illnesses are becoming more common.
