Incorporating phylogenetic metrics of biodiversity to refine Lyme disease risk models
Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2025.Abstract Biodiversity has been linked to reduced disease transmission through the dilution effect process. Traditional ecological measures of biological diversity, such as species richness, are most commonly used to test for the dilution effect. However, such metrics of species diversity do not consider the evolutionary relationship between species ...

Molecular characterization of novel sulfotransferases from the tick, Ixodes scapularis [PDF]
BMC Biochemistry, 2011 Ixodes scapularis, commonly known as the blacklegged or deer tick, is the main vector of Lyme disease in the United States. Recent progress in transcriptome research has uncovered hundreds of different proteins expressed in the salivary glands of hard ticks, the majority of which have no known function, and include many novel protein families.

Health Science Reports, Volume 8, Issue 7, July 2025.ABSTRACT Background and Aim Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is a common hearing disorder prevalent. Borrelia burgdorferi (B. burgdorferi) is a spirochete whose infection has been shown to result in SNHL. This systematic review aims to investigate the prevalence and association of B. burgdorferi infection in SNHL.
