Transmission dynamics and control of Rickettsia rickettsii in populations of Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris and Amblyomma sculptum. [PDF]

PLoS Negl Trop Dis, 2017
Brazilian Spotted Fever (BSF), caused by the bacterium Rickettsia rickettsii, is the tick-borne disease that generates the largest number of human deaths in the world. In Brazil, the current increase of BSF human cases has been associated with the presence and expansion of capybaras Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris, which act as primary hosts for the tick ...

The anal pore route is efficient to infect Amblyomma spp. ticks with Rickettsia rickettsii and allows the assessment of the role played by infection control targets

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2023
Adult Amblyomma sculptum and Amblyomma aureolatum ticks are partially refractory to Rickettsia rickettsii when fed on infected hosts, hindering the functional characterization of potentially protective targets in the bacterial acquisition. In the current

Diversity and Seasonal Dynamics of Ticks on Ring-Tailed Coatis Nasua nasua (Carnivora: Procyonidae) in Two Urban Areas from Midwestern Brazil

Animals, 2022
Understanding the diversity and ecology of ectoparasites in wild animals is essential for surveillance of vector-borne diseases. Coatis (Nasua nasua) easily adapt to anthropized areas, favoring close contact with domestic animals and humans, with the ...

EAACI Molecular Allergology User's Guide 2.0

Pediatric Allergy and Immunology, Volume 34, Issue S28, March 2023., 2023
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 ...

Comparative mitogenomics elucidates the population genetic structure of Amblyomma testudinarium in Japan and a closely related Amblyomma species in Myanmar

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 15, Issue 7, Page 1062-1078, July 2022., 2022
Abstract Ticks are the second most important vector capable of transmitting diseases affecting the health of both humans and animals. Amblyomma testudinarium Koch 1844 (Acari: Ixodidae), is a hard tick species having a wide geographic distribution in Asia. In this study, we analyzed the composition of A.

Tick salivary gland extract induces alpha‐gal syndrome in alpha‐gal deficient mice

Immunity, Inflammation and Disease, Volume 9, Issue 3, Page 984-990, September 2021., 2021
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.

Sequencing and comparative analysis of the Amblyomma sculptum mitogenome

Veterinary Parasitology, 2017
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 ...

Microhabitat determines uneven distribution of Amblyomma parvum but not of Amblyomma sculptum ticks within forest patches in the Brazilian Pantanal [PDF]

Experimental and Applied Acarology, 2019
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
