Exploring the sialome of the tick Ixodes scapularis
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2002 SUMMARY To attempt description of the set of mRNA and protein (sialome) expressed in the salivary glands of the tick Ixodes scapularis, we randomly sequenced 735 clones of a full-length salivary gland cDNA library of this arthropod and performed Edman degradation of protein bands from salivary gland homogenates (SGH) and saliva separated

Canada Communicable Disease Report, 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.

Factors affecting the microbiome of Ixodes scapularis and Amblyomma americanum
PLOS ONE, 2020 The microbial community composition of disease vectors can impact pathogen establishment and transmission as well as on vector behavior and fitness. While data on vector microbiota are accumulating quickly, determinants of the variation in disease vector microbial communities are incompletely understood.

Anomalous morphologies in Ixodes scapularis feeding on human hosts
Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2022 Cases of anomalous morphologies in the blacklegged tick, Ixodes scapularis, have been reported in both field-collected and human-biting specimen in the Northeastern and Midwestern United States, complicating the identification of this medically important tick species. We herein describe four cases of morphological anomalies in I.

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.We propose the regulatory particle non‐ATPase subunit 6 of the 26S proteasome as a first good promising RNA interference target candidate to control the Japanese beetle Popillia japonica. This will help to optimize a double‐stranded RNA insecticide against this priority pest with low off‐target effects on pollinators on a gene sequence‐based prediction.
