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 ...

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 ...

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.

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.
