The mitochondrial genome of the lone star tick (Amblyomma americanum)
Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2015 Amblyomma americanum is an abundant tick in the southeastern, midwestern, and northeastern United States. It is a vector of multiple diseases, but limited genomic resources are available for it. We sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome of a single female A. americanum collected in Georgia using the Illumina platform. The consensus sequence was 14,

Vector competence of Amblyomma americanum (Acari: Ixodidae) for Rickettsia rickettsii [PDF]
Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2017 Rickettsia rickettsii - the etiologic agent of Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF) - is widely spread across the Americas. In the US, Dermacentor spp. ticks are identified as primary vectors of R. rickettsii and Rhipicephalus sanguineus s.l. has been implicated in transmission of this pathogen in several locations in the Southwest. Conversely, ticks of

Saliva from nymph and adult females of Haemaphysalis longicornis: a proteomic study [PDF]
, 2015 BACKGROUND: Haemaphysalis longicornis is a major vector of Theileria spp., Anaplasma phagocytophilum, Babesia spp. and Coxiella burnetti in East Asian countries. All life stages of ixodid ticks have a destructive pool-feeding style in which they create a

Galactose-α-1,3-galactose Allergy Induced by Amblyomma americanum: A Review and Introduction of Experimental Designs [PDF]
, 2017 The galactose-α-1,3-galactose (alpha-gal) allergy was identified following a drug trial of Cetuximab. The patients who reacted with anaphylaxis had all previously been bitten by the lone star tick.

Discovery of filarial nematode DNA in Amblyomma americanum in Northern Virginia [PDF]
Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2016 Ticks collected in 2011 were screened for the presence of filarial nematode genetic material, and positive samples were sequenced for analysis. Monanema-like filarial nematode DNA was recently discovered in Amblyomma americanum in northern Virginia, marking the first time genetic material from this parasite has been discovered in ticks in the state ...
