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 ...

Reappraisal of the Dilution and Amplification Effect Framework: A Case Study in Lyme Disease
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2025.The biodiversity–disease relationship posits two hypotheses: the dilution effect (where there's a negative relationship between biodiversity and disease risk) and the amplification effect (where there's a positive relationship). However, the literature has historically treated these hypotheses as either/or, ignoring the potential for a null result.

Joint assembly and genetic mapping of the Atlantic horseshoe crab genome reveals ancient whole genome duplication [PDF]
, 2013 Horseshoe crabs are marine arthropods with a fossil record extending back approximately 450 million years. They exhibit remarkable morphological stability over their long evolutionary history, retaining a number of ancestral arthropod traits, and are ...

Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2018 The distribution of I. scapularis, the tick vector of the bacteria that cause Lyme disease, has been expanding over the last two decades in the north-central United States in parallel with increasing incidence of human cases of Lyme disease in that region. However, assessments of residential risk for exposure to ticks are lacking from this region. Here,

Harnessing the Potential of mRNA Vaccines Against Infectious Diseases
Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 18, Issue 8, August 2025.RNA vaccines are promising because of their flexible design, strong immunogenicity, safety and rapid development. Recent advances have enabled mRNA vaccines to target various pathogens, including viruses such as influenza and HIV, bacteria such as Mycobacteria and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and parasites such as those causing malaria.

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 ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.We investigate the community composition and structure of microbiota across natural populations of three co‐distributed tick species in the central Iberian Peninsula. Our results revealed a complex and diverse microbiota, while all tick species exhibited a shared core microbiota.

Modeling the Effects of Reservoir Competence Decay and Demographic Turnover in Lyme Disease Ecology [PDF]
, 2002 Lyme disease risk is related to the abundance of infected nymphal ticks, which in turn depends on the abundance and reservoir competence of wild hosts. Reservoir competence of a host (i.e., probability that an infected host will infect a feeding vector ...
