Time-resolved proteomic profile of Amblyomma americanum tick saliva during feeding.
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2020 Amblyomma americanum ticks transmit more than a third of human tick-borne disease (TBD) agents in the United States. Tick saliva proteins are critical to success of ticks as vectors of TBD agents, and thus might serve as targets in tick antigen-based ...

Amblyomma americanum as a Bridging Vector for Human Infection with Francisella tularensis
PLOS ONE, 2015 The γ-proteobacterium Francisella tularensis causes seasonal tick-transmitted tularemia outbreaks in natural rabbit hosts and incidental infections in humans in the south-central United States. Although Dermacentor variabilis is considered a primary vector for F. tularensis, Amblyomma americanum is the most abundant tick species in this endemic region.
