Dynamics of Insulin Signaling in the Black-Legged Tick, Ixodes scapularis [PDF]

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2019
Insulin-like peptides (ILPs) have been identified in several invertebrates, particularly insects, and work on these ILPs has revealed many roles including regulation of energy homeostasis, growth, development, and lifespan to name a few. However, information on arthropod ILPs outside of insects is sparse.

Histochemical indications for a chemically complex signal produced by the cervical gill slit gland of the pygmy sperm whale (Kogia breviceps)

The Anatomical Record, Volume 308, Issue 9, Page 2413-2432, September 2025.
Abstract The pygmy sperm whale (Kogia breviceps) possesses an exocrine gland associated with its false gill slit pigmentation pattern. The cervical gill slit gland is a compound tubuloalveolar gland that produces a holocrine secretion and displays maturational changes in size and secretory histology. While the morphology of the cervical gill slit gland

The Ticks (Arachnida: Acari: Ixodida) of Arkansas [PDF]

, 2016
Although ticks are a nuisance to humans and other animals, they are an important part of the biota of North America. In addition, they are vectors of many tick-borne disease agents that can negatively affect higher vertebrates.

A Case of Illness Following a Bite by a Male Lone Star Tick (Amblyomma americanum Linnaeus) Infected With Ehrlichia sp. and Rickettsia amblyommatis in Connecticut, United States

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 9, September 2025.
A case of local lymphadenopathy and a flu‐like illness in a man, following a bite by a male lone star tick infected with Ehrlichia sp. and Rickettsia amblyommatis. ABSTRACT The lone star tick (Amblyomma americanum Linnaeus) is a species commonly found in the southeastern U.S., but in recent years its populations have expanded northward, resulting in an

Genomic insights into the Ixodes scapularis tick vector of Lyme disease [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2016
AbstractTicks 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 other diseases.

Extracellular Vesicles in Arthropods: Biogenesis, Functions, Isolation Methods and Applications

Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membrane‐bound nanoparticles secreted by cells that are involved in multiple forms of intercellular communication and show promising potential for biotechnological applications. Arthropod‐derived EV research remains relatively fragmented in contrast to the extensively studied mammalian EV field. In this review,

Detection of municipalities at-risk of Lyme disease using passive surveillance of Ixodes scapularis as an early signal: A province-specific indicator in Canada.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Lyme disease, the most commonly reported vector-borne disease in North America, is caused by the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto, which is transmitted by Ixodes scapularis in eastern Canada and Ixodes pacificus in western Canada.
