Red Meat Allergies after Lone Star Tick (Amblyomma americanum) Bites
Southern Medical Journal, 2020Red meat allergies have followed tick bites on every continent except Antarctica. The sensitizing antigen is galactose-α-1,3-galactose (α-gal), an oligosaccharide constituent of nonprimate blood and meat, acquired by ticks during animal bloodfeeding. Because red meat allergy after tick bites is a worldwide phenomenon, the objectives of this review were

Seasonal Activity and Relative Abundance of Amblyomma americanum in Mississippi
Journal of Medical Entomology, 1996Ecological investigations of the lone star tick, Amblyomma americanum (L.), were conducted in 3 adjacent 60-m2 plots, located in Noxubee National Wildlife Refuge, Noxubee County, Mississippi. Ticks were collected weekly from July 1992 to July 1993 by flagging randomly selected lanes.

Antigens of Amblyomma americanum Ticks Recognized by Repeatedly Infested Sheep
The Journal of Parasitology, 1991Sera were taken from 3 sheep that had been infested 5 times with Amblyomma americanum and that exhibited manifestations of humoral depression to homologous antigens and anti-tick resistance. Proteins extracted from the intestine or salivary glands of unfed ticks or salivary glands from partially (3-day) fed ticks were analyzed by polyacrylamide gel ...

The molecular basis of the Amblyomma americanum tick attachment phase
Experimental and Applied Acarology, 2007Towards discovery of molecular signaling cascades that trigger and/or facilitate the tick attachment and formation of its feeding lesion, suppressive subtractive hybridization, high throughput sequencing and validation of differential expression by cDNA dot blot hybridization were performed on Amblyomma americanum ticks that had attained appetence and ...

What's eating you? lone star tick (Amblyomma americanum).
Cutis, 2017Amblyomma americanum, also known as the lone star tick, is found in much of the eastern United States. Since the mid-20th century, the lone star tick has been implicated in human disease. Today, A americanum remains an important vector for tick-borne illness.

Biosynthesis of salivary prostaglandins in the lone star tick, Amblyomma americanum
Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 1995Dopamine-induced saliva from ticks fed [3H]arachidonic acid contained the radiolabelled prostaglandins E2, F2 alpha, D2, and B2, the latter probably derived from PGE2 owing to the alkalinity of tick saliva. Prostaglandin synthetase (PGS) activity in the salivary gland homogenate from the lone star tick, Amblyomma americanum, could not be detected by ...

Manifestations of Immunity in Sheep Repeatedly Infested with Amblyomma americanum Ticks
The Journal of Parasitology, 1991Three sheep were infested 4 times with 100 Amblyomma americanum tick pairs and kept indoors until the natural termination of the infestations. Characteristics of the tick populations that show efficiency of feeding, fertility, and offspring development, and ELISA antibodies to tick salivary gland extracts were studied at each infestation.

Guinea Pig-Amblyomma Americanum Animal Systemic Insecticide Test, 1979
Insecticide and Acaricide Tests, 1980Abstract The procedure is as follows: Hair on guinea pigs is clipped around the midsection. Then 2 capsule cages each containing 12 starved nymphal lone star ticks are attached with contact cement and tape to each animal. Those guinea pigs receiving the candidate compound are treated 24 h later. An untreated pig serves as the control and
