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

Journal 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

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

Health 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.

Extracellular Vesicles in Arthropods: Biogenesis, Functions, Isolation Methods and Applications

Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membrane‐bound nanoparticles secreted by cells that are involved in multiple forms of intercellular communication and show promising potential for biotechnological applications. Arthropod‐derived EV research remains relatively fragmented in contrast to the extensively studied mammalian EV field. In this review,
