Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 94, Issue 11, Page 2159-2177, November 2025.Population genetics reveals how ticks interact with hosts, microbiomes and environments. This review guides researchers in choosing the best tool for the job, weighing cost, resolution, reproducibility and throughput to study tick population structure. Abstract Ticks are ectoparasites of major medical, veterinary and ecological importance, transmitting

Worldwide perspectives on venom allergy
World Allergy Organization Journal, 2019 Venom immunotherapy is the standard of care for people with severe reactions and has been proven to reduce risk of future anaphylactic events. There is a moral imperative to ensure production, supply and worldwide availability of locally relevant ...

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 38, Issue 3, Page 366-371, September 2024.The presence of α‐Gal epitope ( was confirmed by the presence of reactive proteins of >250 kDa in samples from engorged and unfed H. lusitanicum ticks. The highest concentrations of α‐Gal were detected in salivary glands. Neither sex nor diet influenced the concentration of α‐Gal, which seems to indicate its endogenous production and its possible ...

NMR‐based metabolomic investigation of dogs with acute flaccid paralysis due to tick paralysis
Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 10, Issue 4, July 2024.The NMR‐based serum metabolomics approach used in this study revealed distinct up‐regulated/down‐regulated expressions, presenting a promising avenue for research. It was observed that energy metabolism, particularly liver function, was impaired in dogs with tick paralysis.

Allergy, Volume 79, Issue 6, Page 1440-1454, June 2024.Abstract The recent recognition of a syndrome of tick‐acquired mammalian meat allergy has transformed the previously held view that mammalian meat is an uncommon allergen. The syndrome, mediated by IgE antibodies against the oligosaccharide galactose‐alpha‐1,3‐galactose (alpha‐gal), can also involve reactions to visceral organs, dairy, gelatin and ...
