Babesia nucleic acid prevalence among blood donors in southern Québec
Transfusion, Volume 65, Issue 10, Page 1798-1802, October 2025.Abstract Background Tick‐borne diseases are on the rise in Canada, and southern Québec is considered one of the highest‐risk regions for Babesia emergence. Babesia is easily transmissible through blood transfusion and was the most common transfusion‐transmitted infection in the United States before the implementation of nucleic acid testing (NAT) in ...

The Anatomical Record, Volume 308, Issue 9, Page 2413-2432, September 2025.Abstract The pygmy sperm whale (Kogia breviceps) possesses an exocrine gland associated with its false gill slit pigmentation pattern. The cervical gill slit gland is a compound tubuloalveolar gland that produces a holocrine secretion and displays maturational changes in size and secretory histology. While the morphology of the cervical gill slit gland

Host-specific expression of Ixodes scapularis salivary genes
Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2019 Ixodes scapularis vectors several pathogens including Borrelia burgdorferi, the agent of Lyme disease. Nymphal and larval stages, and the pathogens transmitted by I. scapularis are maintained in a zoonotic cycle involving rodent reservoir hosts, predominantly Peromyscus leucopus.

Extracellular Vesicles in Arthropods: Biogenesis, Functions, Isolation Methods and Applications
Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2025.ABSTRACT Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membrane‐bound nanoparticles secreted by cells that are involved in multiple forms of intercellular communication and show promising potential for biotechnological applications. Arthropod‐derived EV research remains relatively fragmented in contrast to the extensively studied mammalian EV field. In this review,
