Tick-Borne Flavivirus Inhibits Sphingomyelinase (IsSMase), a Venomous Spider Ortholog to Increase Sphingomyelin Lipid Levels for Its Survival in Ixodes scapularis Ticks

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2020
Our previous study showed that cells from medically important arthropods, such as ticks, secrete extracellular vesicles (EVs) including exosomes that mediate transmission of flavivirus RNA and proteins to the human cells.

Reciprocal regulation of NF-kB (Relish) and Subolesin in the tick vector, Ixodes scapularis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
BackgroundTick Subolesin and its ortholog in insects and vertebrates, Akirin, have been suggested to play a role in the immune response through regulation of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kB)-dependent and independent gene expression via interaction with ...

Sequence analysis of the small (s) RNA segment of viruses in the genus Orthobunyavirus [PDF]

, 2008
Viruses in the genus Orthobunyavirus (family Bunyaviridae) are classified serologically into 18 serogroups. The viruses have a tripartite genome of negative sense RNA composed of large (L), medium (M) and small (S) segments.

Mosquito cell-derived West Nile virus replicon particles mimic arbovirus inoculum and have reduced spread in mice.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2017
Half of the human population is at risk of infection by an arthropod-borne virus. Many of these arboviruses, such as West Nile, dengue, and Zika viruses, infect humans by way of a bite from an infected mosquito.

Research progress toward arthropod salivary protein vaccine development for vector-borne infectious diseases.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases
Hematophagous arthropods, including mosquitoes, ticks, and flies, are responsible for the transmission of several pathogens to vertebrates on whom they blood feed. The diseases caused by these pathogens, collectively known as vector-borne diseases (VBDs),

Induction of humoral immune response to multiple recombinant Rhipicephalus appendiculatus antigens and their effect on tick feeding success and pathogen transmission [PDF]

, 2016
BACKGROUND: Rhipicephalus appendiculatus is the primary vector of Theileria parva, the etiological agent of East Coast fever (ECF), a devastating disease of cattle in sub-Saharan Africa.
