Ticks and tick‐borne pathogens in selected abattoirs and a slaughter slab in Kumasi, Ghana

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 10, Issue 5, September 2024.
•Amblyomma variegatum was the predominant tick species. •Zoonotic pathogens R. africae, R. aeschlimannii, C. burnetii and CCHFV were identified. •Abattoir workers are at risk of zoonotic infections. Abstract Background Ticks are vectors of pathogens that affect the health of animals and humans. With the constant trade of livestock across borders, there

Alpha‐Gal, epitope responsible for allergy to red meat, in the Mediterranean tick Hyalomma lusitanicum

open access: yesMedical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 38, Issue 3, Page 366-371, September 2024.
The presence of α‐Gal epitope ( was confirmed by the presence of reactive proteins of >250 kDa in samples from engorged and unfed H. lusitanicum ticks. The highest concentrations of α‐Gal were detected in salivary glands. Neither sex nor diet influenced the concentration of α‐Gal, which seems to indicate its endogenous production and its possible ...

A microRNA profile of saliva and the role of miR-375 in Haemaphysalis longicornis (Ixodida: Ixodidae) [PDF]

open access: yesParasites & Vectors, 2019
Tick saliva contains many bioactive molecules that are involved in attachment to the host, blood-feeding and transmission of pathogens. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of short non-coding RNAs with a length of 19-24 nucleotides. They act as regulators of gene expression by binding to their target mRNA at the post-transcriptional level and control a ...
