Harm or protection? The adaptive function of tick toxins

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 14, Issue 2, Page 271-277, February 2021., 2021
Abstract The existence of tick toxins is an old enigma that has intrigued scientists for a long time. The adaptive value of using deadly toxins for predatory animals is obvious: they try to kill the prey in the most effective way or protect themselves from their natural enemies. Ticks, however, are blood‐sucking parasites, and it seems paradoxical that

Data from: Lyme neuroborreliosis and bird populations in northern Europe [PDF]

, 2019
Many vector-borne diseases are transmitted through complex pathogen-vector-host networks, which makes it challenging to identify the role of specific host groups in disease emergence.

Lymphocyte enzymes as an indicator of immune response activity in ixodid tick-borne borreliosis

Epidemiology and Infectious Diseases, 2023
BACKGROUND: Acute ixodid tick-borne borreliosis tends to turn into a protracted and chronic course. This suggests studying the causes of the violation of the immune status of a sick person. The central structural unit of immunity is the lymphocyte. It is known that the formation of specific T-lymphocyte subpopulations is based on the central role of IL-

Variable strength of forest stand attributes and weather conditions on the questing activity of Ixodes ricinus ticks over years in managed forests [PDF]

, 2013
Given the ever-increasing human impact through land use and climate change on the environment, we crucially need to achieve a better understanding of those factors that influence the questing activity of ixodid ticks, a major disease-transmitting vector ...

Immunobiology of Acquired Resistance to Ticks

Frontiers in Immunology, 2020
Ticks are blood-sucking arthropods of great importance in the medical and veterinary fields worldwide. They are considered second only to mosquitos as vectors of pathogenic microorganisms that can cause serious infectious disorders, such as Lyme ...

Clinical variants of the non-erythema form of ixodid tick-borne borreliosis

Kazan medical journal, 2022
The patients with the nonerythematous form of borreliosis (83 persons) were observed in the epidemic seasons of 19971999. The organ pathology often develops on the background of the general infections syndrome. The clinical variants of the early period are described: arthromyalgic, similar to influenza, regional lymphadenitis, neurologic ...

Tick saliva and its role in pathogen transmission [PDF]

, 2019
Tick saliva is a complex mixture of peptidic and non-peptidic molecules that aid engorgement. The composition of tick saliva changes as feeding progresses and the tick counters the dynamic host response.
