Morphological identification of ticks and molecular detection of tick-borne pathogens from bare-nosed wombats (Vombatus ursinus) [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2021
Background Ticks are obligate haematophagous ectoparasites of vertebrate hosts and transmit the widest range of pathogenic organisms of any arthropod vector.

Tick-borne piroplasms and trypanosomes incidentally detected in eastern grey kangaroos (Macropus giganteus) during a mortality and morbidity event in southern New South Wales, Australia [PDF]

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife
Tick-borne haemoparasites, including piroplasms and trypanosomes, are almost ubiquitous in Australian wildlife, with some associated with health impacts to individual animals and declining wildlife populations. An array of ecologically distinct piroplasm

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.

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
