Rickettsia buchneri sp. nov., a rickettsial endosymbiont of the blacklegged tick Ixodes scapularis. [PDF]
Int J Syst Evol Microbiol, 2015 We obtained a rickettsial isolate from the ovaries of the blacklegged tick,Ixodes scapularis. The isolate (ISO7T) was grown in theIxodes ricinusembryonic cell line IRE11. We characterized the isolate by transmission electron microscopy and gene sequencing. Phylogenetic analysis of 11 housekeeping genes demonstrated that the isolate fulfils the criteria

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 72, Issue 1, Page 9-22, February 2025.ABSTRACT Introduction Lyme disease (LD) is caused by infection with the bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (Bb) through the bite of an infected Ixodes spp. tick. LD has emerged as a public and animal health issue in Canada, with human incidence increasing in part due to the expansion of Ixodes scapularis ticks and their vertebrate hosts.

Individual variation underlies large‐scale patterns: Host conditions and behavior affect parasitism
Ecology, Volume 106, Issue 1, January 2025.Abstract Identifying the factors that affect host–parasite interactions is essential for understanding the ecology and dynamics of vector‐borne diseases and may be an important component of predicting human disease risk. Characteristics of hosts themselves (e.g., body condition, host behavior, immune defenses) may affect the likelihood of parasitism ...
