Tick bites, IgE to galactose‐alpha‐1,3‐galactose and urticarial or anaphylactic reactions to mammalian meat: The alpha‐gal syndrome

Allergy, Volume 79, Issue 6, Page 1440-1454, June 2024.
Abstract The recent recognition of a syndrome of tick‐acquired mammalian meat allergy has transformed the previously held view that mammalian meat is an uncommon allergen. The syndrome, mediated by IgE antibodies against the oligosaccharide galactose‐alpha‐1,3‐galactose (alpha‐gal), can also involve reactions to visceral organs, dairy, gelatin and ...

New records of tick-associated spotted fever group Rickettsia in an Amazon-Savannah ecotone, Brazil. [PDF]

, 2018
Human rickettsiosis has been recorded in the Amazon Biome. However, the epidemiological cycle of causative rickettsiae has not been fully accounted for in the Amazon region. This study investigates the presence of spotted fever group (SFG) Rickettsia spp.

Insights from entire mitochondrial genome sequences into the phylogeny of ticks of the genera Haemaphysalis and Archaeocroton with the elevation of the subgenus Alloceraea Schulze, 1919 back to the status of a genus

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 38, Issue 2, Page 189-204, June 2024.
We sequenced the entire mt genomes of three species of tick for the first time: Bothriocroton auruginans, B. hydrosauri and H. (Kaiseriana) novaeguineae, and we sequenced the 18S rRNA gene of B. hydrosauri and H. (Kaiseriana) bancrofti. In our phylogenetic trees, Alloceraea was the sister to Archaeocroton sphenodonti, from New Zealand; to the exclusion

Wildlife species, Ixodid fauna and new host records for ticks in an Amazon forest area, Rondônia, Brazil. [PDF]

, 2018
The objective of this work was to evaluate the diversity of ticks associated with free-living animals and to investigate new host records for ticks. Ticks were collected from animals rescued during the flood of the Jamari River in the municipality of ...

Efeito imunomodulatório da saliva de Amblyomma sculptum durante a infecção por Toxoplasma gondii [PDF]

, 2020
Background: The pathogenicity of Toxoplasma gondii varies according to the specie of host infected and any warm-blooded animal can serve as an intermediate host for the parasite. Amblyomma sculptum has a complex molecular saliva composition in order to maintain high levels of infestation, being capable of suppress Th1 type cytokines, while increasing ...

Dichotomous key to larvae of the genus Amblyomma (Parasitiformes: Ixodidae) in Brazil, with morphological description and redescription of the larval stage of 30 Amblyomma species

Ticks and Tick-Borne Diseases
Ticks of the genus Amblyomma are of great medical and veterinary importance in Brazil, where they regularly parasitize wild and domestic animals and will bite humans that enter rural and forest areas for work and recreation purposes.
