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.

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.

Factors affecting the microbiome of Ixodes scapularis and Amblyomma americanum. [PDF]

PLoS One, 2020
The microbial community composition of disease vectors can impact pathogen establishment and transmission as well as on vector behavior and fitness. While data on vector microbiota are accumulating quickly, determinants of the variation in disease vector microbial communities are incompletely understood.
