Diversity of Rickettsiales in the Microbiome of the Lone Star Tick, Amblyomma americanum [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2014
ABSTRACT Ticks are important vectors for many emerging pathogens. However, they are also infected with many symbionts and commensals, often competing for the same niches. In this paper, we characterize the microbiome of Amblyomma americanum (Acari: Ixodidae), the lone star tick, in order to better ...

Disease Agents inAmblyomma americanumfrom Northeastern Georgia [PDF]

Journal of Medical Entomology, 2004
Amblyomma americanum (lone star tick) is known or suspected to vector several organisms that are implicated as human pathogens, including Ehrlichia chaffeensis, E. ewingii, and Borrelia lonestari. These three agents have also been detected in white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus). Because northeastern Georgia has a high abundance of both lone star
