Managing iron supply during the infection cycle of a flea borne pathogen, Bartonella henselae.

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2013
Bartonella are hemotropic bacteria responsible for emerging zoonoses. Most Bartonella species appear to share a natural cycle that involves an arthropod transmission, followed by exploitation of a mammalian host in which they cause long-lasting intra ...

Genetic characterization of flea-derived Bartonella species from native animals in Australia suggests host-parasite co-evolution [PDF]

, 2011
Fleas are important arthropod vectors for a variety of diseases in veterinary and human medicine, and bacteria belonging to the genus Bartonella are among the organisms most commonly transmitted by these ectoparasites.

ParaHox Genes Revisited: From Gut Patterning to Integrated Axial and Neural Organization in Rotifera

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
In rotifers, ParaHox genes show a dispersed genomic organization, with Xlox absent across gnathiferans. Exclusive neuronal expression of Gsx and Cdx reveals that ancestral ParaHox genes coordinated neural and epithelial development beyond gut patterning, suggesting an integrated role in early bilaterian body plan organization.

Urban‐driven homogenization of aquatic subsidy size structure cascades to riparian predator communities

Oikos, EarlyView.
The export of emergent aquatic insects is a critical energy subsidy for terrestrial food webs. While urbanization is known to alter stream communities, its effects on the size structure of these insect subsidies and the subsequent consequences for riparian predators remain poorly understood.

Accurate identification of Culicidae at aquatic developmental stages by MALDI-TOF MS profiling

Parasites & Vectors, 2014
Background The identification of mosquito vectors is generally based on morphological criteria, but for aquatic stages, morphological characteristics may be missing, leading to incomplete or incorrect identification.

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.

Allosteric Regulation of RNA Affinity by Motif V‐VI Coupling in West Nile Virus NS3 Helicase

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The rise of flaviviral diseases, including West Nile virus (WNV), presents a growing threat to global public health and underscores the urgent need for new therapeutic strategies. The non‐structural protein 3 helicase (NS3h) of the Orthoflavivirus genus, including WNV, is essential for viral replication and a promising antiviral target ...

Role of the Yersinia pestis phospholipase D (Ymt) in the initial aggregation step of biofilm formation in the flea

mBio
Transmission of Yersinia pestis by fleas depends on the formation of condensed bacterial aggregates embedded within a gel-like matrix that localizes to the proventricular valve in the flea foregut and interferes with normal blood feeding.
