Wolbachia Impacts Anaplasma Infection in Ixodes scapularis Tick Cells [PDF]
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2022 The specific interactions of members of tick bacterial microbiota and their effects on pathogen transmission remains relatively unexplored. Here, we introduced a novel Wolbachia infection type into Ixodes scapularis tick cells and examined the antipathogenic effects on the intracellular pathogen Anaplasma phagocytophilum.

TROSPA, an Ixodes scapularis Receptor for Borrelia burgdorferi [PDF]
Cell, 2004 The Lyme disease agent Borrelia burgdorferi naturally persists in a cycle that primarily involves ticks and mammals. We have now identified a tick receptor (TROSPA) that is required for spirochetal colonization of Ixodes scapularis. B. burgdorferi outer surface protein A, which is abundantly expressed on spirochetes within the arthropod and essential ...

Two Anaplasma phagocytophilum Strains in Ixodes scapularis Ticks, Canada
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2014 We developed PCR-based assays to distinguish a human pathogenic strain of Anaplasma phagocytophilum, Ap-ha, from Ap-variant 1, a strain not associated with human infection. The assays were validated on A.
