Genetic manipulation of an Ixodes scapularis cell line
mBio, 2023 Although genetic manipulation is one of the hallmarks of model organisms, its applicability to non-model species has remained difficult due to our limited understanding of their fundamental biology.

Rapid Northward Expansion of the Blacklegged Tick, Ixodes scapularis, in Response to Climate Change. [PDF]
Glob Chang BiolThe blacklegged tick, Ixodes scapularis, can transmit human diseases such as Lyme disease and is exposing new human populations to this risk due to its rapid expansion into Canada. We used community science data (eTick and iNaturalist) to understand the environmental factors responsible for the distribution of I.

Metabolomic changes associated with acquired resistance to Ixodes scapularis
Ticks and Tick-Borne Diseases, 2023 Guinea pigs repeatedly exposed to Ixodes scapularis develop acquired resistance to the ticks (ATR). The molecular mechanisms of ATR have not been fully elucidated, and partially involves immune responses to proteins in tick saliva.

Characterization of a Monanema nematode in Ixodes scapularis [PDF]
Parasites & Vectors, 2020 Abstract Background Metagenomic studies have revealed the presence of a filarial nematode in Ixodes scapularis. The phylogeny of this agent, and its potential for human infection, are unknown. Methods We used existing metagenomic data from I. scapularis to determine the phylogeny of this tick-associated nematode and employed quantitative PCR to ...

Zoonotic Pathogens in Ixodes scapularis, Michigan
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2007 To the Editor: Ixodes scapularis, the black-legged tick, is the predominant vector of reportable human vectorborne disease in the United States. It transmits agents that cause Lyme borreliosis, human anaplasmosis, and human babesiosis. I. scapularis–borne disease is becoming more frequent as this tick expands its range from tick-endemic foci in the ...

Optimizing tick artificial membrane feeding for Ixodes scapularis. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2023 AbstractArtificial membrane feeding (AMF) is a powerful and versatile technique with a wide range of applications in the study of disease vectors species. Since its first description, AMF has been under constant optimization and standardization for different tick species and life stages.

A snapshot of the Ixodes scapularis degradome [PDF]
Gene, 2011 Parasitic encoded proteases are essential to regulating interactions between parasites and their hosts and thus they represent attractive anti-parasitic druggable and/or vaccine target. We have utilized annotations of Ixodes scapularis proteases in gene bank and version 9.3 MEROPS database to compile an index of at least 233 putatively active and 150 ...
