Insights into the development of Ixodes scapularis: a resource for research on a medically important tick species [PDF]
Ticks (Acari: Ixodida) are arthropod ectoparasites dependent on a bloodmeal from a vertebrate host at each developmental stage for completion of their life cycle.

Introduction. Borrelia miyamotoi is a pathogen causing erythema-free ixodid tick-borne borreliosis (ITBB), a disease widespread in Russia. The genome of B. miyamotoi contains genes of multiple variable major proteins (Vmps). Vmps fall into two families —

Preliminary Evaluation of Tick Protein Extracts and Recombinant Ferritin 2 as Anti-tick Vaccines Targeting Ixodes ricinus in Cattle [PDF]
Anti-tick vaccines have the potential to be an environmentally friendly and cost-effective option for tick control. In vaccine development, the identification of efficacious antigens forms the major bottleneck. In this study, the efficacy of immunization

Tick‐borne relapsing fever as a potential veterinary medical problem
Tick‐Borne Relapsing Fever is emerging as an important veterinary medical problem. Abstract Tick‐borne relapsing fever (TBRF) caused by the bacteria Borrelia, is poorly documented in veterinary medicine. Given the widespread presence of the soft tick vectors – Ornithodoros and the recently discovered hard tick vectors, as well as their close ...

We evaluated the utility of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto (Bb) peptide C6 for serologic confirmation of Ixodid Tick‐Borne Borrelioses (ITBB) in Russia. Serum samples (N = 1089) were from erythema migrans (EM) (N = 327) and the EM‐free (EMF) patients (N = 115); in some patients, the disease was accompanied by human granulocytic anaplasmosis or tick‐

Ticks infesting domestic dogs in the UK:a large-scale surveillance programme [PDF]
Background: Recent changes in the distribution of tick vectors and the incidence of tick-borne disease, driven variously by factors such as climate change, habitat modification, increasing host abundance and the increased movement of people and animals ...

Soluble cysteine‐rich tick saliva proteins Salp15 and Iric‐1 fromE. coli
Tick saliva proteins Salp15 and Iric‐1 promote tick feeding and pathogen transmission. We established the first bacterial expression system for soluble Salp15 and Iric‐1. Using this system we mapped monoclonal antibody epitopes on Salp15 and Iric‐1. We defined the interaction sites with Borrelia outer surface protein C (OspC).

Background. Ixodid tick-borne borrelioses (ITBB) is the most prevalent in Northern Hemisphere group of transmissible Spirochaetal infections, ecologically connected with Ixodid ticks. ITBB are etiologically associated with several agents, which determine epidemiological and clinical manifestations of these diseases.
