Current Protocols, Volume 2, Issue 11, November 2022., 2022 Abstract The guinea pig was the original animal model developed for investigating spotted fever rickettsiosis (SFR). This model system has persisted on account of the guinea pig's conduciveness to tick transmission of SFR agents and ability to recapitulate SFR in humans through clinical signs that include fever, unthriftiness, and in some cases the ...

Evolution, Volume 76, Issue 4, Page 799-816, April 2022., 2022 Abstract Little is known about the intraspecific variation of parasite life‐history traits and how this variation may affect parasite fitness and evolution. We investigated how life‐history traits predict success of individual tree‐hole ticks Ixodes arboricola and estimated their evolutionary potential, as well as genetic correlations within stages and

Current review of isoxazoline ectoparasiticides used in veterinary medicine
Journal of Veterinary Pharmacology and Therapeutics, Volume 45, Issue 1, Page 1-15, January 2022., 2022 Abstract The isoxazolines are a novel class of ectoparasiticides with potent inhibitory activity on glutamate‐ and gamma‐aminobutyric acid‐gated chloride channel located in nervous system of invertebrates. In recent years, studies have been performed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of isoxazolines against various types of ectoparasites, including ...

An analysis of companion animal tick encounters as revealed by photograph‐based crowdsourced data
Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 7, Issue 6, Page 2198-2208, November 2021., 2021 Crowdsourced data reveal that mostly adult ticks are spotted on pets, and that they are detected later in the blood‐feeding process than were ticks attached to humans, putting pets at heightened risk for tick‐borne disease transmission. The doubling of reports of ticks found on pets during autumn and winter may reveal a critical knowledge gap amongst ...

Update of P2X receptor properties and their pharmacology: IUPHAR Review 30
British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 178, Issue 3, Page 489-514, February 2021., 2021 The known seven mammalian receptor subunits (P2X1–7) form cationic channels gated by ATP. Three subunits compose a receptor channel. Each subunit is a polypeptide consisting of two transmembrane regions (TM1 and TM2), intracellular N‐ and C‐termini, and a bulky extracellular loop.
