Novel Borrelia burgdorferi isolates from Ixodes scapularis and Ixodes dentatus ticks feeding on humans [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1996 Seven cultures of Borrelia burgdorferi differing from strains B31 and ZS7 were identified from among 99 isolates from Ixodes scapularis ticks and from white-footed mice (Peromyscus leucopus) and 1 isolate from an Ixodes dentatus tick. Five of the six novel isolates from I. scapularis and the isolate from I.

Carryover Effects of Thermal Conditions on Tick Survival, Behavior, and Simulated Detectability
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.Recent thermal history affects the abundance and behavior of adult Amblyomma americanum. Thermal responses impacted simulated tick detection through combined effects on movement and mortality. ABSTRACT Carryover effects occur when environmental history of an organism influences its behavior, fitness, and population dynamics.

Ixodes Immune Responses Against Lyme Disease Pathogens
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2018 Although Ixodes scapularis and other related tick species are considered prolific vectors for a number of important human diseases, many aspects of their biology, microbial interactions, and immunity are largely unknown; in particular, how these ancient ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.Blacklegged ticks (Ixodes scapularis), vectors of Lyme disease, have expanded across the Midwestern USA since the 1970s, with at least three genetically structured populations. Fine‐scale genomic and landscape analyses reveal distinct gene flow corridors and barriers, highlighting how environmental connectivity shapes tick range expansion and informing

Human Babesia microti Incidence and Ixodes scapularis Distribution, Rhode Island, 1998–2004
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2007 Distribution of nymphal Ixodes scapularis in Rhode Island was used as a logistical regressor for predicting presence of human babesiosis. Although the incidence of babesiosis is increasing in southern Rhode Island, large areas of the state are free of ...

A Set of Rapid Diagnostic Tool for Babesia microti Infection
Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, Volume 39, Issue 20, October 2025.This study develops a cross‐priming amplification combined with vertical flow visualization (CPA‐VF) assay for rapid, low‐cost detection of Babesia microti, achieving a detection limit of 2.56 fg/reaction (equivalent to 0.000004% parasitic red blood cells) with 95.5% sensitivity and specificity compared to nested PCR.

Exploring the sialome of the tick Ixodes scapularis
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2002 SUMMARY To attempt description of the set of mRNA and protein (sialome) expressed in the salivary glands of the tick Ixodes scapularis, we randomly sequenced 735 clones of a full-length salivary gland cDNA library of this arthropod and performed Edman degradation of protein bands from salivary gland homogenates (SGH) and saliva separated

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 ...
