Geographical distribution and pathogenesis of ticks and tick-borne viral diseases
Ticks are obligatory hematophagous arthropods that harbor and transmit infectious pathogens to humans and animals. Tick species belonging to Amblyomma, Ixodes, Dermacentor, and Hyalomma genera may transmit certain viruses such as Bourbon virus (BRBV ...

A Case of Illness Following a Bite by a Male Lone Star Tick (<i>Amblyomma americanum</i> Linnaeus) Infected With <i>Ehrlichia</i> sp. and <i>Rickettsia amblyommatis</i> in Connecticut, United States. [PDF]
A case of local lymphadenopathy and a flu‐like illness in a man, following a bite by a male lone star tick infected with Ehrlichia sp. and Rickettsia amblyommatis. ABSTRACT The lone star tick (Amblyomma americanum Linnaeus) is a species commonly found in the southeastern U.S., but in recent years its populations have expanded northward, resulting in an

Abstract Conventional wisdom states that genetic variation reduces disease levels in plant populations. Nevertheless, crop species have been subject to a gradual loss of genetic variation through selection for specific traits during breeding, thereby increasing their vulnerability to biotic stresses such as pathogens.
