Safety and efficacy of a purified canine immunoglobulin G formulation for treatment of 76 cats clinically affected by the Australian paralysis tick (Ixodes holocyclus). [PDF]

Aust Vet J, 2022
Acute adverse reactions in cats administered unrefined canine paralysis tick (Ixodes holocyclus) antiserum are commonly observed by veterinarians and can lead to significant morbidity and potentially fatal. A purified antiserum canine IgG concentrate was chromatographically prepared and aseptically formulated in single doses containing the equivalent ...

Exploring the transcriptomic data of the Australian paralysis tick, Ixodes holocyclus [PDF]

GSTF Journal of Veterinary Science, 2016
Ixodes holocyclus is the paralysis tick commonly found in Australia. I. holocyclus does not cause paralysis in the primary host – bandicoots, but markedly affects secondary hosts such as companion animals, livestock and humans.

Tick paralysis in Australia caused by Ixodes holocyclus Neumann. [PDF]

Ann Trop Med Parasitol, 2011
Ticks are obligate haematophagous ectoparasites of various animals, including humans, and are abundant in temperate and tropical zones around the world. They are the most important vectors for the pathogens causing disease in livestock and second only to mosquitoes as vectors of pathogens causing human disease.

Unbiased Characterization of the Microbiome and Virome of Questing Ticks

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Due to their vector capacity, ticks are ectoparasites of medical and veterinary significance. Modern sequencing tools have facilitated tick-associated microbiota studies, but these have largely focused on bacterial pathogens and symbionts.

Metatranscriptomic profiling reveals diverse tick-borne bacteria, protozoans and viruses in ticks and wildlife from Australia. [PDF]

Transbound Emerg Dis, 2022
Abstract Tick‐borne zoonoses are emerging globally due to changes in climate and land use. While the zoonotic threats associated with ticks are well studied elsewhere, in Australia, the diversity of potentially zoonotic agents carried by ticks and their significance to human and animal health is not sufficiently understood.

Ixodes holocyclus Tick-Transmitted Human Pathogens in North-Eastern New South Wales, Australia. [PDF]

Trop Med Infect Dis, 2016
A group of 14 persons who live in an area of Australia endemic for the Australian paralysis tick, Ixodes holocyclus, and who were involved in regularly collecting and handling these ticks, was examined for antibodies to tick-transmitted bacterial pathogens.

The Immunology of Alpha-Gal Syndrome: History, Tick Bites, IgE, and Delayed Anaphylaxis to Mammalian Meat. [PDF]

Immunol Rev
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

Biotic Factors Influence Microbiota of Nymph Ticks from Vegetation in Sydney, Australia

Pathogens, 2020
Ticks are haematophagous ectoparasites of medical and veterinary significance due to their excellent vector capacity. Modern sequencing techniques enabled the rapid sequencing of bacterial pathogens and symbionts.
