Assessing the underwater survival of two tick species, Amblyomma americanum and Amblyomma maculatum
The hard (ixodid) ticks Amblyomma americanum and Amblyomma maculatum are found throughout the southeastern United States. To study the effects of water inundation, which is an increasingly common phenomenon in many coastal areas, unfed adult A. americanum and A.

Is Zebrafish a Good Model for the Alpha‐Gal Syndrome?
ABSTRACT The alpha‐Gal syndrome (AGS) is an underdiagnosed tick‐borne allergy characterized by both immediate and delayed IgE‐mediated anaphylactic reactions to the galactose‐alpha‐1,3‐galactose (alpha‐Gal) epitope. Common manifestations include gastrointestinal, cutaneous, and respiratory symptoms appearing 2–6 h after the consumption of mammalian ...

A. phagocytophilum infections have been detected from various rodent hosts and the associated ticks from different sites throughout the globe. Ixodes ticks were the most frequent tick observed in the studies, followed by Dermacentor tick and Haemaphysalis tick species. Apodemus rodent species were frequently observed, followed by Microtus spp.

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

We summarize the recent progress in understanding defense mechanisms in specific tissues or sites that are encountered by arboviruses and discuss their possible roles in virus infection or transmission. Abstract Ticks can transmit many pathogens, including arboviruses, to their vertebrate hosts.
