Molecular-based laboratory testing confer accuracy over microscopical testing for tick identification

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife
As per published literature, the Ixodes pacificus tick is the primary Lyme disease vector in British Columbia (BC), while the Ixodes scapularis tick species is the dominant vector on the East Coast of Canada, with no I.

Vectors and Vector‐Borne Diseases: Biology, Epidemiology and Integrated Control Strategies

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 7, Page 990-1015, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Vector‐Borne Diseases (VBDs), transmitted by arthropods such as mosquitoes, ticks, fleas and sandflies, represent a significant threat to global health. These diseases can be caused by a variety of pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and helminths.

Metabolomic changes associated with acquired resistance to Ixodes scapularis

Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2023
Abstract Guinea pigs repeatedly exposed to Ixodes scapularis develop acquired resistance to the ticks (ATR). The molecular mechanisms of ATR have not been fully elucidated, and partially involve immune responses to proteins in tick saliva.

Riboflavin Salvage Supports Glycolysis in Borrelia burgdorferi Through Flavin‐Dependent NAD+ Regeneration

Molecular Microbiology, Volume 126, Issue 2, Page 208-219, August 2026.
The Lyme disease agent Borrelia burgdorferi has limited metabolic capabilities and depends on salvage of riboflavin via the BB0316‐BB0319 transport system for generation of critical flavin cofactors FMN and FAD. Riboflavin is important for NAD+ regeneration to fuel glycolysis.

Exotic Rickettsiae in Ixodes ricinus: fact or artifact? [PDF]

, 2010
Several pathogenic Rickettsia species can be transmitted via Ixodes ricinus ticks to humans and animals. Surveys of I. ricinus for the presence of Rickettsiae using part of its 16S rRNA gene yield a plethora of new and different Rickettsia sequences ...

Discovery of an Adaptive Neuroimmune Response Driving Itch and Fast Tick Removal with Implications for Preventing Pathogen Transmission

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 32, 9 June 2026.
Itch‐induced tick removal (IITR): An acquired neuroimmune mechanism, itch‐induced tick removal, develops after repeated tick exposure, mobilizing T cells and macrophages at the tick bite site to trigger a rapid scratching response that facilitates timely tick removal within a critical window that precedes the transmission of many tick‐borne pathogens ...

mRNA vaccination of rabbits alters the fecundity, but not the attachment, of adult Ixodes scapularis

Scientific Reports
19ISP is a nucleoside-modified mRNA-lipid nanoparticle vaccine that targets 19 Ixodes scapularis proteins. We demonstrate that adult I. scapularis have impaired fecundity when allowed to engorge on 19ISP-immunized rabbits.

Identification and characterization of Ixodes scapularis antigens that elicit tick immunity using yeast surface display. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Repeated exposure of rabbits and other animals to ticks results in acquired resistance or immunity to subsequent tick bites and is partially elicited by antibodies directed against tick antigens.
