Statewide Passive Surveillance of Ixodes scapularis and Associated Pathogens in Maine
Vector Borne and Zoonotic Diseases, 2021 The blacklegged tick, Ixodes scapularis, is the primary vector of multiple human pathogens, including the causative agents of Lyme disease, anaplasmosis, and babesiosis. Both I. scapularis and its associated pathogens have expanded their geographic range

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 ...

Identification of microRNAs in the Lyme Disease Vector Ixodes scapularis
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022 MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small non-coding RNAs involved in many biological processes, including the immune pathways that control bacterial, parasitic, and viral infections. Pathogens probably modify host miRNAs to facilitate successful infection, so they might be useful targets for vaccination strategies.
