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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 12, December 2025.Abstract Specific host‐tick interactions in temperate forest systems influence variation in density and infection prevalence of nymphal blacklegged tick (Ixodes scapularis). The density of infected nymphs (DIN), which is the product of nymphal infection prevalence (NIP) and density of questing nymphs (DON), influences the risk of human exposure to tick‐
