Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.This study investigated whether blacklegged tick (Ixodes scapularis) infestation influences allogrooming behavior in sibling pairs of white‐footed mice (Peromyscus leucopus). Using laboratory‐reared siblings housed in pairs, we compared allogrooming frequency and cumulative duration between tick‐infested and non‐infested groups across both sexes ...

Growth of Cowdria ruminantium, the causative agent of heartwater, in a tick cell line [PDF]
, 2000 The tick-borne rickettsia Cowdria ruminantium has been propagated continuously for over 500 days in the Ixodes scapularis tick cell line IDE8 by using the Gardel isolate from bovine endothelial cells as an inoculum.

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 49, 3 September 2026.Host‐specific compatibility between RNF138‐like proteins and flavivirus NS5 determines NS5 stability. Mammalian RNF138 but not arthropod homologs recognizes and induces conserved NS5/RdRp K48‐linked ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation, thereby restricting viral replication. Ectopic RNF138 in mice attenuates TBEV‐induced pathogenesis. (Created in

Genomic insights into the Ixodes scapularis tick vector of Lyme disease
, 2016 Ticks transmit more pathogens to humans and animals than any other arthropod. We describe the 2.1 Gbp nuclear genome of the tick, Ixodes scapularis (Say), which vectors pathogens that cause Lyme disease, human granulocytic anaplasmosis, babesiosis and ...

Molecular Detection, Epidemiology and Genetic Diversity of Babesia microti Infecting Wild Rodents
Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 5, September 2026.Blood samples from 284 rodents captured across seven districts of Pakistan were screened for Babesia microti using 18S rRNA PCR. Overall prevalence was 12%, with infection detected in Rattus rattus, Mus musculus and Rattus norvegicus. Phylogenetic analysis showed close similarity with global isolates.

Occurrence of ixodes scapularis and borrelia burgdorferi in the fragmented landscapes of east-central and northeast Illinois [PDF]
, 2010 The distribution of Ixodes scapularis and Borrelia burgdorferi has continued expanding in Illinois over the past twenty years. However, the extent to which this tick vector and etiologic agent of Lyme disease has spread is not well known.

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 478-488, September 2026.Mortality for diatomaceous earth was observed as early as 2 h after exposure with 50% and 90% mortality at 3.5 and 4.6 h (LT50 and LT90, respectively) for Musca domestica. The LT50 and LT90 increased when the size of the fly species increased (M. domestica to Cochliomyia macellaria to Sarcophaga bullata) and increased for all three from 50 to 70 ...

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1779-1792, August 2026.ABSTRACT Tick‐borne filarial nematodes are a complex and understudied group of parasites that rely on ticks for transmission in vertebrates. This review examines how intrinsic and extrinsic factors may influence the successful transmission of filarial nematodes in tick vectors, drawing insights from extensively studied haematophagous dipteran vector ...

Molecular survey of Ixodes scapularis associated pathogens from Odocoileus virginianus at Lake Arcadia in Edmond, Oklahoma [PDF]
, 2021 Odocoileus virginianus (white-tailed deer) is the primary host and vector for Ixodes scapularis (deer tick). Most of the research into Ixodes scapularis has been geographically restricted to the northeastern United States, with limited interest in ...
