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.

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 ...

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

Permission to bite: White‐footed mice show no increased grooming response to tick infestation
Journal of Zoology, Volume 326, Issue 2, Page 140-147, June 2025.White‐footed mice (Peromyscus leucopus) are one of the most frequently studied hosts of blacklegged ticks (Ixodes scapularis); however, interactions between white‐footed mice and ticks are not easily observed. This study aimed to quantify activity patterns in white‐footed mice and to assess their behavioral responses to parasitism by blacklegged ticks ...

ACR Open Rheumatology, Volume 6, Issue 10, Page 678-689, October 2024.Objective HLA‐DR–expressing fibroblast‐like synoviocytes (FLS) are a prominent cell type in synovial tissue in chronic inflammatory forms of arthritis. FLS‐derived extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins, including fibronectin‐1 (FN1), contain immunogenic CD4+ T cell epitopes in patients with postinfectious Lyme arthritis (LA).

Molecular Microbiology, Volume 122, Issue 4, Page 455-464, October 2024.By employing genetic engineering, Treponema pallidum was modified to express GFP, and Sf1Ep cells to express mCherry on the cytoplasmic membrane and BFP in the nucleus. These new resources for syphilis research will facilitate experimental designs to better define the complex interplay between T. pallidum and the host during infection.

Ecosphere, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2024.Abstract Habitat fragmentation and host community composition are implicated as key drivers of changing tick populations and tick‐borne pathogen dynamics, altering infection risk through coupled socioecological pathways that mediate interactions between tick vectors, vertebrate hosts, and humans.
