Porin Expression Profiles in Haemaphysalis longicornis Infected With Babesia microti [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2020 The porin gene is widely disseminated in various organisms and has a pivotal role in the regulation of pathogen infection in blood-sucking arthropods. However, to date, information on the porin gene from the Haemaphysalis longicornis tick, an important vector of human and animal diseases, remains unknown.

An Uncommon Presentation of Human Otoacariasis by Haemaphysalis longicornis [PDF]
Annals of Dermatology, 2018 Ticks are obligate parasites on animals and sometimes humans. They usually suck the blood of the hosts and can carry various infectious diseases as a vector. Otoacariasis is the presence of ticks and mites within the ear canal and relatively common in domestic and wild animals.
