EAACI Molecular Allergology User's Guide 2.0
Abstract Since the discovery of immunoglobulin E (IgE) as a mediator of allergic diseases in 1967, our knowledge about the immunological mechanisms of IgE‐mediated allergies has remarkably increased. In addition to understanding the immune response and clinical symptoms, allergy diagnosis and management depend strongly on the precise identification of ...

Automated identification of spotted-fever tick vectors using convolutional neural networks. [PDF]
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.

Sequencing and comparative analysis of the Amblyomma sculptum mitogenome
The mitogenome of Amblyomma sculptum was sequenced, providing important information for understanding the evolutionary relationships among species of the A. cajennense complex. The mitochondrial genome has a circular structure with 37 genes, including 13 coding DNA sequences, two ribosomal RNA genes (12S rRNA and 16S rRNA) and 22 tRNA genes ...

Tick salivary gland extract induces alpha‐gal syndrome in alpha‐gal deficient mice
Alpha‐gal syndrome (AGS) is characterized by delayed hypersensitivity to non‐primate mammalian meat in people having specific IgE (sIgE) to the oligosaccharide galactose‐alpha‐1,3‐galactose and has been linked to tick bites from Amblyomma americanum (Aa) in the U.S.

Microhabitat determines uneven distribution of Amblyomma parvum but not of Amblyomma sculptum ticks within forest patches in the Brazilian Pantanal [PDF]
Environmental distribution of the two most abundant ticks in forest areas in the Brazilian Pantanal was evaluated by CO2 traps methodology in the wet season (peak of adult ticks) of 2012 and 2013. Adults of Amblyomma parvum were concentrated inside agglomerates of Bromelia balansae, in the border of forest patches. Adults of Amblyomma sculptum occurred
