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.

An in‐house nucleic acid test for detection of Anaplasma phagocytophilum in whole blood donor samples

Transfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Anaplasma phagocytophilum is a tick‐borne pathogen that causes anaplasmosis. Increased incidences of this disease in Canada and cases of transfusion‐transmitted anaplasmosis in the United States have been reported.

Transfusion‐related alpha‐gal syndrome: Two new cases expanding the demographic and geographic spectrum, and evidence of a diagnostic gap in allergic transfusion reaction evaluation

Transfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Transfusion‐related alpha‐gal syndrome (TRAGS) has recently been proposed as a cause of allergic transfusion reactions (ATRs) in which alpha‐gal‐specific IgE in sensitized group O (or potentially group A) recipients reacts with epitopes on group B or AB plasma‐containing components.

DNA Retention in Sea Lamprey Digestive Tracts: Insights From Controlled Feeding Experiments

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Host DNA from a single species was detected via DNA metabarcoding from sea lamprey digestive tracts up to 30 days post‐feeding at 5°C, 10°C, and 15°C. Multiple previous host species could be detected from a single lamprey up to 30 days after fasting at 10°C.

Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2015
Ixodes scapularis is arguably the most medically important tick species in the United States. This tick transmits 5 of the 14 human tick-borne disease (TBD) agents in the USA: Borrelia burgdorferi, Anaplasma phagocytophilum, B. miyamotoi, Babesia microti, and Powassan virus disease. Except for the Powassan virus disease, I.
