Can the Gram-negative bacterium Escherichia coli colonize the gut of Lone Star Tick (Amblyomma americanum)? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Ticks are obligate blood feeding ectoparasites and vectors of several mammalian pathogens (Williams-Newkirk et al, 2014). In addition to pathogens they also carry a bacterial community with commensal and symbiotic relationships (Bonnet et al, 2017 ...

Metagenomic profiling of ticks: Identification of novel rickettsial genomes and detection of tick-borne canine parvovirus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Background: Across the world, ticks act as vectors of human and animal pathogens. Ticks rely on bacterial endosymbionts, which often share close and complex evolutionary links with tick-borne pathogens.

Acquired resistance to ixodid ticks induced by tick cement antigen

open access: yesExperimental & Applied Acarology, 1989
Antisera from guinea pigs made resistant to infestation with an ixodid tick of east and central Africa, Rhipicephalus appendiculatus, were used to identify the tick antigens they recognized by immunoblotting. Most of the antigens were found in tick salivary glands and in tick attachment cement. Antisera from R. appendiculatus-resistant guinea pigs also

Harnessing 50 years of tick population genetics: Choosing the right molecular tool for contemporary research

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, Volume 94, Issue 11, Page 2159-2177, November 2025.
Population genetics reveals how ticks interact with hosts, microbiomes and environments. This review guides researchers in choosing the best tool for the job, weighing cost, resolution, reproducibility and throughput to study tick population structure. Abstract Ticks are ectoparasites of major medical, veterinary and ecological importance, transmitting

An Alternative and Rapid Method for the Extraction of Nucleic Acids from Ixodid Ticks by Potassium Acetate Procedure

open access: yesBrazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2014
Four variants of the potassium acetate procedure for DNA extraction from ixodid ticks at different stage of their life cycles were evaluated and compared with phenol-chloroform and ammonium hydroxide methods. The most rapid and most efficient variant was

Transport of ixodid ticks and tick-borne pathogens by migratory birds [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2013
Birds, particularly passerines, can be parasitized by Ixodid ticks, which may be infected with tick-borne pathogens, like Borrelia spp., Babesia spp., Anaplasma, Rickettsia/Coxiella, and tick-borne encephalitis virus. The prevalence of ticks on birds varies over years, season, locality and different bird species.

Structural and Functional Characterization of the 28 kDa Structured Core of BmSA1, the Major Surface Antigen of Babesia Microti

open access: yesProteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, Volume 93, Issue 9, Page 1657-1671, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Babesiosis is a tick‐borne disease that poses a significant threat to animal health worldwide. In addition, climate change and the risk of human‐to‐human transmission through blood transfusion have made babesiosis an emerging disease in humans.
