Is Zebrafish a Good Model for the Alpha‐Gal Syndrome?

The FASEB Journal, Volume 39, Issue 9, 15 May 2025.
ABSTRACT The alpha‐Gal syndrome (AGS) is an underdiagnosed tick‐borne allergy characterized by both immediate and delayed IgE‐mediated anaphylactic reactions to the galactose‐alpha‐1,3‐galactose (alpha‐Gal) epitope. Common manifestations include gastrointestinal, cutaneous, and respiratory symptoms appearing 2–6 h after the consumption of mammalian ...

HEMOGRAM INDICATORS ASSESSMENT FOR EARLY PREDICTING THE MIXED INFECTION OF THE ERYTHEMA MIGRANS FORM OF LYME BORRELIOSIS AND TICK-BORNE ENCEPHALITIS

Siberian Journal of Life Sciences and Agriculture, 2023
Background. It is difficult to confirm the diagnosis of the mixed infection of the erythema migrans form of Lyme borreliosis and tick-borne encephalitis at the onset of the disease because of delayed seroconversion. Purpose.

Gaps and opportunities in on‐host winter tick (Dermacentor albipictus) surveillance in North America

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 89, Issue 4, May 2025.
The investigation and management of the impacts of winter tick infestations on moose in North America necessitates coordinated surveillance and intervention efforts. The current absence of searching for winter ticks on other potential ungulate hosts, largely based on historical beliefs of predilection from limited captive studies, has created a ...

Lyme borreliosis and skin

Indian Journal of Dermatology, 2013
Lyme disease is a multisystem illness which is caused by the strains of spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato and transmitted by the tick, Ixodes. Though very commonly reported from the temperate regions of the world, the incidence has increased worldwide due to increasing travel and changing habitats of the vector.

There Goes the Neighbourhood—A Multi‐City Study Reveals Ticks and Tick‐Borne Pathogens Commonly Occupy Urban Green Spaces

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 72, Issue 3, Page 313-323, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Introduction Humans acquire tick‐borne pathogens (TBPs) from infected ticks contacted during outdoor activities. Outdoor activity is at its highest in urban green spaces, where the presence of tick populations has increasingly been observed. Consequently, more insight into factors influencing the presence of ticks therein is needed.

Hamster and Murine Models of Severe Destructive Lyme Arthritis

Clinical and Developmental Immunology, 2012
Arthritis is a frequent complication of infection in humans with Borrelia burgdorferi. Weeks to months following the onset of Lyme borreliosis, a histopathological reaction characteristic of synovitis including bone, joint, muscle, or tendon pain may ...

A Large Scale Spatio-temporal Binomial Regression Model for Estimating Seroprevalence Trends [PDF]

, 2018
This paper develops a large-scale Bayesian spatio-temporal binomial regression model for the purpose of investigating regional trends in antibody prevalence to Borrelia burgdorferi, the causative agent of Lyme disease. The proposed model uses Gaussian predictive processes to estimate the spatially varying trends and a conditional autoregressive model ...

Alpha‐Gal Sensitization Dynamics in Individuals After Tick Bites With or Without Erythema Migrans

Clinical &Experimental Allergy, Volume 55, Issue 4, Page 350-353, April 2025.
ABSTRACT α‐Gal syndrome (AGS) is an emerging tick‐borne disease characterised by the development of specific immunoglobulin E (sIgE) antibodies against galactose‐α‐1,3‐galactose (α‐gal), a carbohydrate found in most mammalian species, but not in humans. AGS occurs in individuals with a history of tick bites.
