Gaps and opportunities in on‐host winter tick (Dermacentor albipictus) surveillance in North America
The investigation and management of the impacts of winter tick infestations on moose in North America necessitates coordinated surveillance and intervention efforts. The current absence of searching for winter ticks on other potential ungulate hosts, largely based on historical beliefs of predilection from limited captive studies, has created a ...

Seabirds and the circulation of Lyme borreliosis bacteria in the North Pacific [PDF]
Seabirds act as natural reservoirs to Lyme borreliosis spirochetes and may play a significant role in the global circulation of these pathogens. While Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (Bbsl) has been shown to occur in ticks collected from certain ...

Interactions between wild birds and ticks exert significant selective forces, influencing the host's evolution and fitness. Tick infestation rates vary among bird species due to life history and morphology. Understanding tick infestation probability is crucial for conservation efforts, as birds play an important role in the tick life cycle and can ...

ABSTRACT Introduction Humans acquire tick‐borne pathogens (TBPs) from infected ticks contacted during outdoor activities. Outdoor activity is at its highest in urban green spaces, where the presence of tick populations has increasingly been observed. Consequently, more insight into factors influencing the presence of ticks therein is needed.

Abstract. With the purpose of establishment of the role of IL-4, IL-13 and IFNγ cytokines in regulation of the general IgE synthesis in serum of patients with different forms of tick-borne borreliosis, 31 patients have been surveyed. The received results have revealed that patients with ITBB irrespective of the level of the general IgE synthesis can be

Alpha‐Gal Sensitization Dynamics in Individuals After Tick Bites With or Without Erythema Migrans
ABSTRACT α‐Gal syndrome (AGS) is an emerging tick‐borne disease characterised by the development of specific immunoglobulin E (sIgE) antibodies against galactose‐α‐1,3‐galactose (α‐gal), a carbohydrate found in most mammalian species, but not in humans. AGS occurs in individuals with a history of tick bites.
