Electrophoretic and antigenic comparisons of the ixodid ticks Amblyomma maculatum and A. americanum (Acari: Ixodidae) [PDF]
, 1982 Disc gel electrophoretic patterns of female and male Amblyomma maculatum Koch extracts are similar but not identical. A comparison of combined male-female A. americanum (L.) with male and female A. maculatum extracts suggests that several common proteins

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 ...

Rickettsia parkeri genetic diversity from three different hard tick species (family: Ixodidae)
Parasites & VectorsBackground Rickettsia parkeri sensu stricto, a causative agent of spotted fever rickettsiosis, is spread via the bite of infected ticks within the Amblyomma maculatum complex group. In the United States of America (USA), Am.

Automated identification of spotted‐fever tick vectors using convolutional neural networks
Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 39, Issue 4, Page 829-841, December 2025.We evaluate the performance of convolutional neural networks (CNN) AlexNet, ResNet‐50 and MobileNetV2 for the automated identification of tick species capable of transmitting spotted fever. CNNs achieved accuracy rates of ~90% in identifying ticks and showed sensitivities of 59%–100% according to species, sex, position or image resolution.

A secreted calreticulin protein in ixodid tick (Amblyomma americanum) saliva
, 1995 A complementary DNA clone from salivary glands of feeding female Amblyomma americanum ticks has been characterized as encoding calreticulin. Calreticulin, a major endoplasmic reticulum (ER) calcium-binding protein, appears to be secreted in Amblyomma and

Zoonotic Disease Transmission May Be Linked to Host Co‐Occurrence Network Topology
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1554, Issue 1, Page 110-120, December 2025.A global analysis of zoonotic host co‐occurrence networks identified 22 networks from five continents (A) and 87 hosts from 16 orders of mostly birds but also mammals (B) as having a high potential for disease transmission. ABSTRACT Most human pathogens are zoonotic, transmitted from vertebrate hosts to humans.

Global trend of food‐induced anaphylaxis: Up to date
Pediatric Allergy and Immunology, Volume 36, Issue 12, December 2025.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 ...

Carryover Effects of Thermal Conditions on Tick Survival, Behavior, and Simulated Detectability
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.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.
