The Lone Star tick, Amblyomma americanum, salivary factors exacerbate the clinical outcome of Heartland virus disease in a small animal model. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2023 Heartland virus was first isolated in 2009 from two patients in Missouri and is transmitted by the Lone Star tick, Amblyomma americanum. To understand disease transmission and pathogenesis, it is necessary to develop an animal model which utilizes the ...

Heartland Virus in Lone Star Ticks, Alabama, USA [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2020 We detected Heartland virus (HRTV) in lone star nymphs collected in 2018 in northern Alabama, USA. Real-time reverse transcription PCR selective for the small segment of the HRTV genome and confirmatory sequencing of positive samples showed high identity with HRTV strains sequenced from Tennessee and Missouri.

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2021 Alpha-Gal Syndrome (AGS) is an IgE-mediated delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction to the oligosaccharide galactose-α-1, 3-galactose (α-gal) injected into humans from the lone-star tick (Amblyomma americanum) bite. Indeed, α-gal is discovered in salivary

The travels of a lone star tick. [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Pathology, 1998 A lone-star tick, Amblyomma americanum, was found as a pedunculated lesion on the back of the arm of an 84 year old man in Northern Ireland. This was acquired on a visit to the USA. The tick is found mainly in Texas and the Ozark mountains of Missouri, with scattered foci in other parts of southern USA. It is the vector of Rocky Mountain spotted fever.

Lone Star Ticks (Amblyomma americanum):
Delaware Journal of Public Health, 2021 Public health messaging in the eastern United States has historically underemphasized the risks posed by lone star ticks (Amblyomma americanum), focusing instead on blacklegged ticks (Ixodes scapularis). This gap persists despite mounting evidence that lone star ticks also play an important role in disease ecology as confirmed vectors for a wide ...

Liquid water intake of the lone star tick, Amblyomma americanum: Implications for tick survival and management. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2020 AbstractIxodid ticks are ectoparasites that feed exclusively on blood as their source of nutrients. Although ticks spend most of their life off the host, until now it has been assumed that the blood and the water vapor are the only sources of water to maintain water balance and prevent desiccation. Here we report for the first time that adult lone star
