Evaluation of Fipronil Susceptibility in the Lone Star Tick (Acari: Ixodidae)

Journal of Medical Entomology, 2020
Abstract The lone star tick, Amblyomma americanum Linnaeus, is ubiquitously present in the southeastern United States and will readily parasitize humans and companion animals. Fipronil is the active ingredient in several topically applied products used to manage ticks and fleas on companion animals.

The mitochondrial genome of the lone star tick (Amblyomma americanum)

Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2015
Amblyomma americanum is an abundant tick in the southeastern, midwestern, and northeastern United States. It is a vector of multiple diseases, but limited genomic resources are available for it. We sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome of a single female A. americanum collected in Georgia using the Illumina platform. The consensus sequence was 14,

A Coxiella-like endosymbiont is a potential vitamin source for the Lone Star tick. [PDF]

Genome Biol Evol, 2015
Amblyomma americanum (Lone star tick) is an important disease vector in the United States. It transmits several human pathogens, including the agents of human monocytic ehrlichiosis, tularemia, and southern tick-associated rash illness. Blood-feeding insects (Class Insecta) depend on bacterial endosymbionts to provide vitamins and cofactors that are ...

The Spread of Lone Star Ticks (Amblyomma americanum) and Persistence of Blacklegged Ticks (Ixodes scapularis) on a Coastal Island in Massachusetts, USA

Insects
In the northeastern USA, the distribution of lone star ticks (Amblyomma americanum) has expanded northward in recent decades, overlapping with the range of blacklegged ticks (Ixodes scapularis). Blacklegged ticks carry pathogens for diseases such as Lyme,

Tick Densities and Infection Prevalence on Coastal Islands in Massachusetts, USA: Establishing a Baseline

Insects, 2023
Tick-borne diseases and a tick-induced red meat allergy have become increasingly common in the northeastern USA and elsewhere. At the scale of local communities, few studies have documented tick densities or infection levels to characterize current ...

Tricky Ticks and Vegan Quips: The Lone Star Tick and Logics of Debility

Canadian Journal of Disability Studies, 2020
In this article, we explore the discourse around the Lone Star tick, predominately through the platform of Twitter, in order to highlight the way the tick is imagined as a potential tool for increasing veganism, as the Lone Star tick’s bite has been found to cause allergies to a carbohydrate found in red meat.

Alpha-Gal Syndrome after Ixodes scapularis Tick Bite and Statewide Surveillance, Maine, USA, 2014–2023

Emerging Infectious Diseases
In the United States, alpha-gal syndrome (AGS) is primarily associated with lone star tick (Amblyomma americanum) bites. We describe AGS onset after an Ixodes scapularis tick bite and present AGS surveillance in Maine, 2014–2023.

Dermal secretion physiology and thermoregulation in the lone star tick, Amblyomma americanum

Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2022
Ticks are hematophagous ectoparasites that transmit a wide range of pathogens. The lone star tick, Amblyomma americanum, is one of the most widely distributed ticks in the Midwest and Eastern United States. Lone star ticks, as other three-host ixodid ticks, can survive in harsh environments for extended periods without a blood meal.
