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.

Population and demographic structure of Ixodes scapularis Say in the eastern United States. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 INTRODUCTION:The most significant vector of tick-borne pathogens in the United States is Ixodes scapularis Say (the blacklegged tick). Previous studies have identified significant genetic, behavioral and morphological differences between northern vs ...

Borrelia burgdorferi infection modifies protein content in saliva of Ixodes scapularis nymphs
BMC Genomics, 2021 Background Lyme disease (LD) caused by Borrelia burgdorferi is the most prevalent tick-borne disease. There is evidence that vaccines based on tick proteins that promote tick transmission of B. burgdorferi could prevent LD .

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 ...

Pathogens, 2021 Neuropeptides are small signaling molecules expressed in the tick central nervous system, i.e., the synganglion. The neuronal-like Ixodes scapularis embryonic cell line, ISE6, is an effective tool frequently used for examining tick–pathogen interactions.
