Characterisation of putative novel tick viruses and zoonotic risk prediction
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 1, January 2024.Tick‐borne viruses remain a substantial zoonotic risk worldwide, so knowledge of the diversity of tick viruses has potential health consequences. Through data mining and bioinformatic analyses of more than 37,800 public meta‐genomic and ‐transcriptomic data sets, we found five putative novel Alphatetra‐like viruses, four putative novel Orthomyxo‐like ...

Incorporation of Carbon-14 Metabolites into the Sex Pheromon 26-Dichlorophenol of \u3ci\u3eDermacentor andersoni\u3c/i\u3e Stiles; and the Disruption of Pheromone Activity in \u3ci\u3eD. andersoni\u3c/i\u3e and \u3ci\u3eD. variabilis\u3c/i\u3e (SAY) by Quinones [PDF]
, 1981 The Rocky Mountain wood tick, Dermacentor andersoni Stiles, injected with (u-14c) sodium acetate or DL-(benzene ring-u-14c) tryptophan for in vivo studies, was found to produce sex pheromone, 2,6-dichlorophenol, containing 14c activity. Ambiguous results

Identification and Characterization of a Relish-type NF-kB, DvRelish in Dermacentor variabilis, the American Dog Tick [PDF]
, 2016 Ticks are important worldwide as vectors of bacteria, viruses, and parasites. Pathogenic and non-pathogenic Spotted fever group (SFG) Rickettsia are maintained and transmitted by ticks with specific hard tick-Rickettsia pairings evident in nature.
