Growth of Cowdria ruminantium, the causative agent of heartwater, in a tick cell line [PDF]

, 2000
The tick-borne rickettsia Cowdria ruminantium has been propagated continuously for over 500 days in the Ixodes scapularis tick cell line IDE8 by using the Gardel isolate from bovine endothelial cells as an inoculum.

Nuttalliella namaqua: a living fossil and closest relative to the ancestral tick lineage: implications for the evolution of blood-feeding in ticks.

PLoS ONE, 2011
Ticks are monophyletic and composed of the hard (Ixodidae) and soft (Argasidae) tick families, as well as the Nuttalliellidae, a family with a single species, Nuttalliella namaqua.

Is an Apple an Orange? A Large Language Model Benchmark for Candidate Term Extraction and Subclass Decisions Against Upper Ontologies in Engineering and Materials Science

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Building machine‐readable vocabularies for materials science is slow, expert‐driven work. This study benchmarks 13 large language models on two of its first steps: finding candidate terms in engineering articles and deciding where they belong in a class hierarchy.

Coxiella symbiont in the tick Ornithodoros rostratus (Acari: Argasidae)

, 2012
In the present study, the presence of tick-associated bacteria and protozoa in Ornithodoros rostratus ticks (adults, nymphs, and eggs) from the Pantanal region of Brazil were determined by molecular detection.

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

Bulgarian 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

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

Parasites & 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.

Engineered Nanotopography to Modulate Growth and Signaling of Neuronal Networks

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study examines the interaction between neurons and nanoscale topographies on engineered substrates. Neurons cultured on nanowires, nanopillars and nanoneedles exhibit enhanced neurite outgrowth, form more organized neuronal circuits, and display improved synaptic connectivity, compared to flat substrates.

Harm or protection? The adaptive function of tick toxins

Evolutionary 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 ...

Laboratory artificial infection of hard ticks: a tool for the analysis of tick-borne pathogen transmission [PDF]

Acarologia, 2012
Despite its importance, our knowledge of pathogen transmission by ticks is incomplete. Detailed studies on the transmission, maintenance, infectivity, virulence, and pathogenicity of tick-borne microparasites all require the use of large numbers of live ticks raised under controlled conditions and difficulties in rearing ticks in the laboratory could ...
