High genetic diversity in hard ticks from a China-Myanmar border county

open access: yesParasites & Vectors, 2018
Background Many tick species have great morphological similarity and are thus grouped into species complexes. Molecular methods are therefore useful in the classification and identification of ticks.

Harm or protection? The adaptive function of tick toxins

open access: yesEvolutionary Applications, 2021
The existence of tick toxins is an old enigma that has intrigued scientists for a long time. The adaptive value of using deadly toxins for predatory animals is obvious: they try to kill the prey in the most effective way or protect themselves from their ...

Advancing Electronic Application of Coordination Solids: Enhancing Electron Transport and Device Integration via Surface‐Mounted MOFs (SURMOFs)

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The layer‐by‐layer (LbL) assembly of coordination solids, enabled by the surface‐mounted metal‐organic framework (SURMOF) platform, is on the cusp of generating the organic counterpart of the epitaxy of inorganics. The programmable and sequential SURMOF protocol, optimized by machine learning (ML), is suited for accessing high‐quality thin films of ...

The functional response of metamorphosis rates to climatic variation: A case study with Amblyomma variegatum [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Amblyomma variegatum is a three host hard tick that has demonstrated extensive range expansion over the last 150 years. This _Tropical Bont Tick_ vectors a number of economically important bacterial diseases of ruminants including the pathogen Ehrlichia ...

Simulations of Mixed Morphology Supernova Remnants With Anisotropic Thermal Conduction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
We explore the role of anisotropic thermal conduction on the evolution of supernova remnants through interstellar media with a range of densities via numerical simulations. We find that a remnant expanding in a dense environment can produce centre-bright

Smart, Bio‐Inspired Polymers and Bio‐Based Molecules Modified by Zwitterionic Motifs to Design Next‐Generation Materials for Medical Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Bio‐based and (semi‐)synthetic zwitterion‐modified novel materials and fully synthetic next‐generation alternatives show the importance of material design for different biomedical applications. The zwitterionic character affects the physiochemical behavior of the material and deepens the understanding of chemical interaction mechanisms within the ...

Borrelia miyamotoi: A Comprehensive Review

open access: yesPathogens, 2023
Borrelia miyamotoi is an emerging tick-borne pathogen in the Northern Hemisphere and is the causative agent of Borrelia miyamotoi disease (BMD). Borrelia miyamotoi is vectored by the same hard-bodied ticks as Lyme disease Borrelia, yet phylogenetically ...

Multifunctional Microstructured Surfaces by Microcontact Printing of Reactive Microgels

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Reactive poly(N‐vinylcaprolactam‐co‐glycidyl methacrylate) microgels are used as functional inks to create surface‐grafted arrays on glass via microcontact printing. The patterns (10–50 µm widths and spacings) enable stable binding and post‐functionalization with dyes and peptides.

Ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) infesting cattle in three northeastern Algeria regions during the summer season

open access: yesBulgarian Journal of Veterinary Medicine
Hard ticks are ectoparasites and vectors of many pathogens. Studies on hard ticks in cattle have rarely been conducted in northeastern Algeria. This study aimed to estimate the infestation rate, distribution, and biological diversity of hard tick species
