Survey of Borreliae in ticks, canines, and white-tailed deer from Arkansas, U.S.A.

Parasites & Vectors, 2012
Background In the Eastern and Upper Midwestern regions of North America, Ixodes scapularis (L.) is the most abundant tick species encountered by humans and the primary vector of B. burgdorferi, whereas in the southeastern region Amblyomma americanum (Say)

Bourbon Virus in Field-Collected Ticks, Missouri, USA

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2017
Bourbon virus (BRBV) was first isolated in 2014 from a resident of Bourbon County, Kansas, USA, who died of the infection. In 2015, an ill Payne County, Oklahoma, resident tested positive for antibodies to BRBV, before fully recovering.

Identification of Residual Blood Proteins in Ticks by Mass Spectrometry Proteomics

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2008
Mass spectrometry–based proteomics of individual ticks demonstrated persistence of mammalian host blood components, including α- and β-globin chains, histones, and mitochondrial enzymes, in Ixodes scapularis and Amblyomma americanum ticks for months ...

Assessing the underwater survival of two tick species, Amblyomma americanum and Amblyomma maculatum

Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2019
The hard (ixodid) ticks Amblyomma americanum and Amblyomma maculatum are found throughout the southeastern United States. To study the effects of water inundation, which is an increasingly common phenomenon in many coastal areas, unfed adult A. americanum and A.

Efficient, Capsule‐Free Nymphal Ixodid Tick Placement for Site‐Specific Attachment to Assess Anti‐Tick Host Behavior and Immune Responses

Current Protocols, Volume 6, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Ixodid ticks are among the most widespread and permissive groups of arthropod disease vectors in the world. They transmit various viral, bacterial, protozoan, and even nematode pathogens infective for humans and animals. Ticks are essential to studying pathogen transmission and infection in a new host; however, exposing in vivo models to ticks

Transmission of Cytauxzoon felis by injection of Amblyomma americanum salivary glands

Parasitology International, 2023
Cytauxzoonosis is a life-threatening disease of cats, caused by the tick-borne piroplasmid hemoparasite, Cytauxzoon felis. Current experimental models for cytauxzoonosis rely on either tick transmission or direct injection of infected cat tissues.

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

Host, vector, and parasite dynamics: exploring intrinsic and extrinsic factors shaping tick‐borne filarial nematode transmission

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1779-1792, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Tick‐borne filarial nematodes are a complex and understudied group of parasites that rely on ticks for transmission in vertebrates. This review examines how intrinsic and extrinsic factors may influence the successful transmission of filarial nematodes in tick vectors, drawing insights from extensively studied haematophagous dipteran vector ...

Mosquito and tick repellency of two Anthemis essential oils from Saudi Arabia

Saudi Pharmaceutical Journal, 2018
The essential oils (EOs) of Anthemis melampodina (Am) and Anthemis scrobicularis (As) (Asteraceae) were extracted from the aerial parts of the plants by hydrodistillation, and their chemical compositions were analyzed using GC-FID and GC-MS.

Isolation of Heartland Virus from Lone Star Ticks, Georgia, USA, 2019

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2022
Report of a human death and exposure of white-tailed deer to Heartland virus (HRTV) in Georgia, USA, prompted the sampling of questing ticks during 2018–2019 in 26 sites near where seropositive deer were captured and the residence of the human case ...
