Tissue‐damaging marking methods do not affect tick burdens on field captured Peromyscus spp.

Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 46, Issue 5, December 2022., 2022
Small mammals are important hosts for Ixodes scapularis, particularly white‐footed mice and deer mice from the genus Peromyscus. We evaluate three tissue‐damaging marking methods to determine if any method affects the tick burden on captured mice. There were no significant differences in tick burden on captured mice among the tissue‐damaging marking ...

Chronic eosinophilic granulomatous tenosynovitis in a Quarter Horse mare

Equine Veterinary Education, Volume 35, Issue 2, Page e91-e97, February 2023., 2023
Summary A 5‐year‐old Quarter Horse mare was presented to the Michigan State University Equine Surgery Service for evaluation of a right hind metatarsophalangeal joint injury. On presentation, the horse was a grade 4/5 lame. Radiographs and ultrasonography showed peritendinous ossification/mineralisation of soft tissue structures and digital flexor ...

Borrelia Lyme Group [PDF]

Journal of Dermatology Research Reviews & Reports, 2022
Borreliaceae is a family of the phylum Spirochaetales and includes two genera, Borrelia and Cristispira genus. Borrelia genus is divided into three groups, namely Lyme group (LG), Echidna‐Reptile group (REPG) and Relapsing Fever group (RFG). All Borrelia species have an obligate parasitic lifestyle, as they depend on their hosts for most of their ...

The endogenous Coxiella burnetii plasmid encodes a functional toxin–antitoxin system

Molecular Microbiology, Volume 118, Issue 6, Page 744-764, December 2022., 2022
Coxiella burnetii is an obligate intracellular bacterium and causative agent of Q fever. Here we report that the C. burnetii genome encodes 11 toxin–antitoxin systems, which is highly unusual for intracellular bacteria, and that one TA system is encoded on the large endogenous plasmid found in almost all C. burnetii isolates.

Infection Kinetics and Tropism of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato in Mouse After Natural (via Ticks) or Artificial (Needle) Infection Depends on the Bacterial Strain

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Borrelia burgdorferi sl is a complex of pathogen bacteria transmitted to the host by Ixodes ticks. European Ixodes ricinus ticks transmit different B. burgdorferi species, pathogenic to human.

Novel Rickettsia spp. in two common overwintering North American songbirds

Emerging Microbes and Infections, 2022
American robins and dark-eyed juncos migrate across North America and have been found to be competent hosts for some bacterial and viral pathogens, but their contributions to arthropod-borne diseases more broadly remain poorly characterized.

Proteomic as an Exploratory Approach to Develop Vaccines Against Tick-Borne Diseases Using Lyme Borreliosis as a Test Case

Vaccines, 2020
Tick-borne diseases affecting humans and animals are on the rise worldwide. Vaccines constitute an effective control measure, but very few are available. We selected Lyme borreliosis, a bacterial infection transmitted by the hard tick Ixodes, to validate

There Goes the Neighbourhood-A Multi-City Study Reveals Ticks and Tick-Borne Pathogens Commonly Occupy Urban Green Spaces. [PDF]

Zoonoses Public Health
ABSTRACT Introduction Humans acquire tick‐borne pathogens (TBPs) from infected ticks contacted during outdoor activities. Outdoor activity is at its highest in urban green spaces, where the presence of tick populations has increasingly been observed. Consequently, more insight into factors influencing the presence of ticks therein is needed.
