Response to the Letter to the Editor by Rob Armstrong
Parasites & Vectors, 2017 In a recent Letter to the Editor, Armstrong raises concern that the design of the study reported by Six et al. was not consistent with the product label for treatment of Amblyomma americanum, since fluralaner was not re-administered 56 days after the ...

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 ...

Blood Meal Analysis to Identify Reservoir Hosts for Amblyomma americanum Ticks
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2010 Efforts to identify wildlife reservoirs for tick-borne pathogens are frequently limited by poor understanding of tick–host interactions and potentially transient infectivity of hosts under natural conditions.

Alpha-Gal Allergy: a new threat to Appalachia
Marshall Journal of Medicine, 2021 Alpha-gal allergy, or mammalian meat allergy, is described as the development of IgE antibodies to the oligosaccharide galactose-a-1,3-galactose following a bite from the tick species Amblyomma americanum (Lone Star tick) or Dermacentor variabillis (Wood

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.

Natural Panola Mountain Ehrlichia infections in cattle in a longitudinal study of Angus beef calves
Ticks and Tick-Borne DiseasesPanola Mountain Ehrlichia (PME) is an emerging zoonotic pathogen, transmitted by Amblyomma americanum ticks in the southeastern United States. It is closely related to Ehrlichia ruminantium, the causative agent of heartwater disease.
