The Microbiome of Ehrlichia-Infected and Uninfected Lone Star Ticks (Amblyomma americanum). [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
The Lone Star tick, Amblyomma americanum, transmits several bacterial pathogens including species of Anaplasma and Ehrlichia. Amblyomma americanum also hosts a number of non-pathogenic bacterial endosymbionts. Recent studies of other arthropod and insect

Time-resolved proteomic profile of Amblyomma americanum tick saliva during feeding. [PDF]

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 ...

Direct injection of Amblyomma americanum ticks with Cytauxzoon felis. [PDF]

Ticks Tick Borne Dis, 2022
Cytauxzoon felis is a tick-borne hemoprotozoan parasite that causes life-threatening disease in domestic cats in the United States. Currently, the platforms for C. felis research are limited to natural or experimental infection of domestic cats. This study aims to develop an alternative model by infecting Amblyomma americanum ticks with C.

The bacterial community of the lone star tick (Amblyomma americanum). [PDF]

Parasit Vectors, 2021
Abstract Background The lone star tick (Amblyomma americanum), an important vector of a wide range of human and animal pathogens, is very common throughout the East and Midwest of the USA. Ticks are known to carry non-pathogenic bacteria that may play a role in their vector competence for pathogens.

Lone Star Ticks (Amblyomma americanum):: An Emerging Threat in Delaware. [PDF]

Dela J Public Health, 2021
Public health messaging in the eastern United States has historically underemphasized the risks posed by lone star ticks (Amblyomma americanum), focusing instead on blacklegged ticks (Ixodes scapularis). This gap persists despite mounting evidence that lone star ticks also play an important role in disease ecology as confirmed vectors for a wide ...

Amblyomma americanum

, 2023
3. Amblyomma americanum (Linnaeus, 1758). Nearctic: 1) USA (Lado et al. 2020). Although Camicas et al. (1998) treated Amblyomma americanum as a Nearctic and Neotropical species, Guglielmone et al. (2003, 2014, 2021) listed and discussed several records of this tick from Neotropical countries and a few from other zoogeographic regions, including Russia (
