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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Scandinavian Journal of Psychology, Volume 67, Issue 4, Page 1026-1043, August 2026.ABSTRACT Identifying the drivers of chronic stress is crucial for understanding its impact on mental health. Latent toxoplasmosis, a widespread parasitic infection, has been linked to various psychological changes. The Stress‐Coping Hypothesis proposes that at least some of these changes are consequences of chronic stress arising from the infection's ...

Anaphylactic transfusion reaction to group B platelets related to alpha‐gal syndrome: A case report
Transfusion, Volume 66, Issue 8, Page 1690-1693, August 2026.Abstract Background Alpha‐gal syndrome (AGS), a distinct form of IgE‐mediated hypersensitivity to the carbohydrate galactose‐α‐1,3‐galactose (α‐Gal), typically occurs after repeated tick bites and leads to allergic reactions after ingestion of mammalian meat.

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 4, July 2026.Hepatozoon canis causes significant clinical disease even at low parasitaemia and induces chronic subclinical anaemia and inflammation in dogs. Lack of tick control is the main modifiable risk factor. Molecular diagnosis is far more sensitive than microscopy, challenging the traditional view that disease severity depends solely on parasite burden ...
