Discovery of an Adaptive Neuroimmune Response Driving Itch and Fast Tick Removal with Implications for Preventing Pathogen Transmission

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Doehl et al. discovered an adaptive neuroimmune mechanism that induces itch in tick‐exposed guinea pigs, enabling rapid tick removal. This itch‐induced tick removal (IITR) is mediated by an adaptive cellular immune response and is independent of IgG, IgE, or TRPV1.

Evaluating Outer Membrane Vesicle Isolation Techniques for Borrelia burgdorferi and Their Impact on Vesicle Composition, Gene Expression Profile and Uptake

Antibiotics
Background: Borrelia burgdorferi, the causative agent of Lyme disease, releases outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) that may contribute to infection and modulate the host immune response.

The impacts of biological invasions

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological
