Alpha‐Gal, epitope responsible for allergy to red meat, in the Mediterranean tick Hyalomma lusitanicum

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 38, Issue 3, Page 366-371, September 2024.
The presence of α‐Gal epitope ( was confirmed by the presence of reactive proteins of >250 kDa in samples from engorged and unfed H. lusitanicum ticks. The highest concentrations of α‐Gal were detected in salivary glands. Neither sex nor diet influenced the concentration of α‐Gal, which seems to indicate its endogenous production and its possible ...

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 ...

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

Free-living ticks in a cerrado fragment, state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil

Bioscience Journal, 2018
The fatal cases of spotted fever reported in some Brazilian municipalities are generally associated with the presence of ticks and capybaras (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris). The urban forest fragments where this rodent is present are of great concern.

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.
