Infecciones transmitidas por garrapatas en Cuba: una alerta basada en evidencias científicas

Anales de la Academia de Ciencias de Cuba, 2021
Introducción: Las garrapatas duras son ectoparásitos hematófagos, vectores de patógenos zoonóticos emergentes. Hasta 2011 en Cuba existían evidencias de infección/exposición a Borrelia burgdorferi en seres humanos, pero se desconoce sobre la circulación ...

Amphibians' Expansion to Record Elevations Influences Chytrid (Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis) Infection Dynamics

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
Peruvian frogs underwent a climate‐driven range expansion into deglaciating mountains, exposing themselves and their fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) to challenging new thermal environments. Bd has dispersed extensively in these new habitats, and elevation may mediate the apparent sublethal impacts of infection for frogs.

CASP16 Protein Monomer Structure Prediction Assessment

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, Volume 94, Issue 1, Page 86-105, January 2026.
ABSTRACT The assessment of monomer targets in the Critical Assessment of Structure Prediction Round 16 (CASP16) underscores that the problem of single‐domain protein fold prediction is nearly solved—no target folds were incorrectly predicted across all Evaluation Units.

Ecological and Epidemiological Consequences of Tick‐Control Interventions in Residential Neighborhoods: A Synthesis of The Tick Project

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Controlling populations of Ixodes ticks has emerged as a core strategy for reducing human exposure to tick‐borne infections. Several means of reducing the size of the tick population using chemical and biological acaricides show promise in field trials and are frequently used commercially in North America and Europe.

The Flagellin‐Specific Chaperone FliS of Borrelia burgdorferi Controls the Cytoplasmic Pool of Flagellins at the Level of Translation Initiation, Secretion, and Proteolysis

Molecular Microbiology, Volume 124, Issue 2, Page 173-187, August 2025.
FliS, a flagellin protein chaperon of the Lyme disease pathogen Borrelia burgdorferi , controls the cytoplasmic pool of flagellins (FlaB) at the level of translation initiation, secretion, and proteolysis. Deletion of fliS blocks FlaB secretion and translation initiation through a pattern‐switching mechanism of FliS‐FlaB‐FliW/CsrA.

Incorporating phylogenetic metrics of biodiversity to refine Lyme disease risk models

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2025.
Abstract Biodiversity has been linked to reduced disease transmission through the dilution effect process. Traditional ecological measures of biological diversity, such as species richness, are most commonly used to test for the dilution effect. However, such metrics of species diversity do not consider the evolutionary relationship between species ...

The Immunology of Alpha‐Gal Syndrome: History, Tick Bites, IgE, and Delayed Anaphylaxis to Mammalian Meat

Immunological Reviews, Volume 332, Issue 1, July 2025.
ABSTRACT The primary features of the alpha‐gal syndrome (AGS) are (i) The IgE ab that are causally related to anaphylaxis with infusions of Cetuximab are specific for galactose alpha‐1,3‐galactose. (ii) In the USA, this IgE ab is induced by bites of the tick Amblyomma americanum. (iii) The anaphylactic reactions to food derived from non‐primate mammals

Enfermedad de Lyme: a propósito de un caso clínico importado [PDF]

Revista chilena de infectología, 2018
Resumen Presentamos el caso clínico de una mujer norteamericana que consultó en nuestro país por un eritema migrans múltiple, diagnosticándose una enfermedad de Lyme. Este cuadro infeccioso es causado por espiroquetas del complejo Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (Bbsl) y es transmitido por la mordedura de garrapatas.
