Importance of Common Wall Lizards in the Transmission Dynamics of Tick-Borne Pathogens in the Northern Apennine Mountains, Italy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
During the investigations on ticks and tick-borne pathogens (TBP) range expansion in the Northern Apennines, we captured 107 Podarcis muralis lizards. Sixty-eight animals were infested by immature Ixodes ricinus, Haemaphysalis sulcata and H.

RNAi Regulator C3PO Promotes Arbovirus Infection in Insect Vectors

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 4, 19 January 2026.
RNA interference (RNAi) is vital for eukaryotes to defend against virus infection. The C3PO complex takes part in RNAi but its role in regulating viral infection remains unclear. This work finds that insect C3PO facilitates arbovirus replication by degrading precursors of miRNAs, especially miR‐971‐3p.

Harnessing 50 years of tick population genetics: Choosing the right molecular tool for contemporary research

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, Volume 94, Issue 11, Page 2159-2177, November 2025.
Population genetics reveals how ticks interact with hosts, microbiomes and environments. This review guides researchers in choosing the best tool for the job, weighing cost, resolution, reproducibility and throughput to study tick population structure. Abstract Ticks are ectoparasites of major medical, veterinary and ecological importance, transmitting

Rapid Northward Expansion of the Blacklegged Tick, Ixodes scapularis, in Response to Climate Change

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 11, November 2025.
The blacklegged tick, Ixodes scapularis, can transmit human diseases such as Lyme disease and is exposing new human populations to this risk due to its rapid expansion into Canada. We used community science data (eTick and iNaturalist) to understand the environmental factors responsible for the distribution of I.

Recent Advances in Humoral Immunity Dysregulation in Severe Fever With Thrombocytopenia Syndrome Virus (SFTSV) Infection: A Systematic Review

open access: yesHealth Science Reports, Volume 8, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV) infection causes profound dysregulation of humoral immunity, leading to immunopathology and impaired viral clearance. However, the mechanisms underlying B cell dysfunction and inadequate antibody responses remain poorly defined.
