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.

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 ...

Sharing the Ride: Ixodes scapularis Symbionts and Their Interactions [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2020 The deer tick Ixodes scapularis transmits a variety of disease agents in the United States, spreading the bacteria that causes Lyme borreliosis, the protozoan agent of babesiosis, and viruses such as Powassan. However, a variety of other organisms have also evolved symbiotic relationships with this tick species, and it seems likely that some of these ...

Biology and Molecular Biology of Ixodes scapularis [PDF]
, 2021 This chapter describes the biology of the tick Ixodes scapularis in relation to its role as the vector of the Lyme disease agent, Borrelia burgdorferi. Following a review of the internal anatomy of the tick, we review basic molecular processes that contribute to an understanding of the dynamics of the tick's specialized parasitic processes, including ...

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.
