Evolutionary Convergence of Nutritional Symbionts in Ticks

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 3, June 2025.
Confocal imaging of nutritional symbionts in the ovaries of ticks using fluorescence in situ hybridisation. ABSTRACT Symbiosis with bacteria is essential for the survival of animals with an obligate blood‐feeding lifestyle. In ticks, two distinct bacterial lineages, Coxiella‐like and Francisella‐like endosymbionts, have independently evolved into ...

Sufficient reproduction numbers to prevent recurrent epidemics

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, Page 1186-1200, June 2025.
Abstract Current practice in the design and evaluation of control measures in disease ecology and epidemiology, including vaccination, is largely based on reproduction numbers (RNs), which represent prognostic indices of long‐term disease transmission, both in naïve populations (basic RN) and in the presence of prior exposure or infection containment ...

Gaps and opportunities in on‐host winter tick (Dermacentor albipictus) surveillance in North America

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 89, Issue 4, May 2025.
The investigation and management of the impacts of winter tick infestations on moose in North America necessitates coordinated surveillance and intervention efforts. The current absence of searching for winter ticks on other potential ungulate hosts, largely based on historical beliefs of predilection from limited captive studies, has created a ...
