Current stewardship practices in invasion biology limit the value and secondary use of genomic data

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 5, July 2025.
Abstract Invasive species threaten native biota, putting fragile ecosystems at risk and having a large‐scale impact on primary industries. Growing trade networks and the popularity of personal travel make incursions a more frequent risk, one only compounded by global climate change.

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

open access: yesImmunological 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

Investigation of tick-borne bacterial microorganisms in Haemaphysalis ticks from Hebei, Shandong, and Qinghai provinces, China

open access: yesTicks and Tick-Borne Diseases
Tick-borne microorganisms in many tick species and many areas of China are still not thoroughly investigated. In this study, 224 ticks including two species (Haemaphysalis longicornis and Haemaphysalis qinghaiensis) were collected from four cities in ...

Borrelia miyamotoi sensu lato in Père David Deer and Haemaphysalis longicornis Ticks

open access: yesEmerging Infectious Diseases, 2018
By sequence analysis of 16S rRNA, flaB, p66, and glpQ, we identified Borrelia miyamotoi in 1 of 4 Père David deer (n = 43) seropositive for Borrelia spp. and 1.2% (3/244) of Haemaphysalis longicornis ticks from Dafeng Elk National Natural Reserve, China.

An Insect Salivary Sheath Protein Triggers Plant Resistance to Insects and Pathogens as a Conserved HAMP

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 21, June 5, 2025.
The salivary sheath protein myosin from SBPH is critical for the formation of the salivary sheath and feeding. However, myosin functions as a HAMP and triggered plant BAK1‐mediated PTI responses, which include the activation of calcium signaling pathways, MAPK phosphorylation, ROS bursts, and cell death, thereby triggering JA pathway.

Japanese Spotted Fever in Eastern China, 2013

open access: yesEmerging Infectious Diseases, 2018
We isolated Rickettsia japonica from a febrile patient in Lu’an City, China, in 2013. Subsequently, we found an R. japonica seroprevalence of 54.8% (494/902) in the rural population of Anhui Province and an R.

Lactate Dehydrogenase/Albumin to Urea Ratio: A Novel Prognostic Indicator for Adverse Outcomes in Patients With Severe Fever With Thrombocytopenia Syndrome

open access: yesJournal of Medical Virology, Volume 97, Issue 6, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is an emerging infectious disease with significant mortality risks. This study evaluated the predictive value of the lactate dehydrogenase/albumin to urea ratio (LAU) for lethal outcomes in SFTS patients.

Evolutionary Convergence of Nutritional Symbionts in Ticks

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 3, June 2025.
Confocal imaging of nutritional symbionts in the ovaries of ticks using fluorescence in situ hybridisation. ABSTRACT Symbiosis with bacteria is essential for the survival of animals with an obligate blood‐feeding lifestyle. In ticks, two distinct bacterial lineages, Coxiella‐like and Francisella‐like endosymbionts, have independently evolved into ...
