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.

Bartonella infections are rare in blood-fed Ixodes scapularis and Ixodes pacificus ticks collected from rodents in the United States [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors
Background Ixodes scapularis and Ixodes pacificus are important vectors of multiple pathogens in the United States. However, their role in transmission of Bartonella spp., which are commonly reported in rodents and fleas, has been debated.

mRNA vaccination of rabbits alters the fecundity, but not the attachment, of adult Ixodes scapularis [PDF]

Scientific Reports
19ISP is a nucleoside-modified mRNA-lipid nanoparticle vaccine that targets 19 Ixodes scapularis proteins. We demonstrate that adult I. scapularis have impaired fecundity when allowed to engorge on 19ISP-immunized rabbits.

Ixodes scapularis does not harbor a stable midgut microbiome [PDF]

The ISME Journal, 2017
Abstract Hard ticks of the order Ixodidae serve as vectors for numerous human pathogens, including the causative agent of Lyme Disease Borrelia burgdorferi. Tick-associated microbes can influence pathogen colonization, offering the potential to inhibit disease transmission through engineering of the tick microbiota.

Early embryonic development in the tick Ixodes scapularis suggests syncytial organization and cellularization before blastoderm formation [PDF]

EvoDevo
Ixodes ticks are the most important vectors of arthropod-borne diseases in the United States, Canada, and Europe. Ixodes scapularis is the major vector that transmits the causative agent of Lyme disease in the eastern United States and can transmit up to

Surveillance for Ixodes scapularis and Ixodes pacificus ticks and their associated pathogens in Canada, 2020. [PDF]

Can Commun Dis Rep, 2023
Ixodes scapularis and Ixodes pacificus ticks are the principal vectors of the agent of Lyme disease and several other tick-borne diseases in Canada. Tick surveillance data can be used to identify local tick-borne disease risk areas and direct public health interventions.
