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,

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 ...

Molecular Screening of Black Flies (Diptera: Simuliidae) for Vector‐Borne Zoonotic Pathogens, South Moravia, Czech Republic

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 73, Issue 1, Page 95-106, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Black flies (Simuliidae) are globally distributed blood‐feeding arthropods and vectors of viral, bacterial, and parasitic pathogens to many animal species, including humans. We investigated the occurrence of selected vector‐borne pathogens in black flies in South Moravia, Czech Republic, and evaluated their possible role in the ...

Fine structure of tarsal sensilla in the tick Amblyomma americanum (L.) [PDF]

Zeitschrift f�r Zellforschung und Mikroskopische Anatomie, 1971
Selected tarsal bristles of the tick Amblyomma americanum (L.) (Acarina: Ixodidae; nymphal stage) were studied by means of scanning and transmission electron microscopy. All sensilla are multi-innervated and have thick cuticular walls containing either an elaborate pore canal system or a single slit opening at the tip.

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.

Lethal Case of Bourbon Virus Leading to Shock and ECMO Utilization

Case Reports in Infectious Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
We present a lethal case of Bourbon virus infection in a 63‐year‐old Caucasian, diabetic male who was previously in good health. The patient had spent time in the wooded areas of Bourbon County, Kansas, and removed three ticks from his body 5 days prior to presentation.

Managing Alpha‐Gal Allergy in a Case of Bioprosthetic TAVR

Case Reports in Immunology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Alpha‐gal syndrome (AGS) is an uncommon IgE‐mediated allergy to mammalian‐derived products, caused by sensitization to the oligosaccharide galactose‐α‐1,3‐galactose (alpha‐gal) after tick exposure. Although AGS is best recognized for delayed anaphylaxis following ingestion of red meat, its implications for exposure to mammalian‐derived biomaterials ...

Identification and characterization of proteins in the Amblyomma americanum tick cement cone [PDF]

International Journal for Parasitology, 2018
The adaptation of hard ticks to feed for long periods is facilitated by the cement cone, which securely anchors the tick mouthparts onto host skin and protects the tick from being groomed off by the host. Thus, preventing tick cement deposition is an attractive target for the development of innovative tick control.

Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Ehrlichia canis Infection

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Transmitted by tick vectors, Ehrlichia canis (E. canis) is a Gram‐negative, obligate intracellular bacterium of zoonotic concern that infects both canine and human hosts. Its pathogenesis centers on the targeting of mononuclear phagocytes, where it establishes an intracellular niche by suppressing phagolysosomal fusion and evading immune detection ...
