Borreliacidal activity of saliva of the tick Amblyomma americanum [PDF]
Abstract. Amblyomma americanum (Linneaus) (Acari: Ixodidae), an important tick vector of human and animal disease, is not a competent vector of the bacterial agent of Lyme disease, Borrelia burgdorferi , although its range overlaps the geographical ...

Global trend of food‐induced anaphylaxis: Up to date
Abstract This review examines the evolving global landscape of food‐induced anaphylaxis (FIA), revealing critical epidemiological shifts that challenge traditional allergen management paradigms. As the leading cause of anaphylaxis worldwide, FIA demonstrates striking geographic, age‐specific, and temporal patterns that reflect broader changes in ...

The characterization and manipulation of the bacterial microbiome of the Rocky Mountain wood tick, Dermacentor andersoni [PDF]
BACKGROUND: In North America, ticks are the most economically impactful vectors of human and animal pathogens. The Rocky Mountain wood tick, Dermacentor andersoni (Acari: Ixodidae), transmits Rickettsia rickettsii and Anaplasma marginale to humans and ...

Carryover Effects of Thermal Conditions on Tick Survival, Behavior, and Simulated Detectability
Recent thermal history affects the abundance and behavior of adult Amblyomma americanum. Thermal responses impacted simulated tick detection through combined effects on movement and mortality. ABSTRACT Carryover effects occur when environmental history of an organism influences its behavior, fitness, and population dynamics.

The effects of vegetation density and habitat disturbance on the spatial distribution of ixodid ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) [PDF]
Larval, nymphal, and adult Amblyomma americanum (L.), and adult Dermacentor variabilis (Say) ticks were collected using timed dragging techniques, in an attempt to examine how different habitat variables affect models that describe the distribution of ...

Extracellular Vesicles in Arthropods: Biogenesis, Functions, Isolation Methods and Applications
ABSTRACT Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membrane‐bound nanoparticles secreted by cells that are involved in multiple forms of intercellular communication and show promising potential for biotechnological applications. Arthropod‐derived EV research remains relatively fragmented in contrast to the extensively studied mammalian EV field. In this review,
