Tick‐borne relapsing fever as a potential veterinary medical problem
Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 4, Issue 4, Page 271-279, November 2018., 2018 Tick‐Borne Relapsing Fever is emerging as an important veterinary medical problem. Abstract Tick‐borne relapsing fever (TBRF) caused by the bacteria Borrelia, is poorly documented in veterinary medicine. Given the widespread presence of the soft tick vectors – Ornithodoros and the recently discovered hard tick vectors, as well as their close ...

Transmission dynamics of Borrelia turicatae from the arthropod vector.
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2014 BackgroundWith the global distribution, morbidity, and mortality associated with tick and louse-borne relapsing fever spirochetes, it is important to understand the dynamics of vector colonization by the bacteria and transmission to the host.

The moulting arthropod: a complete genetic toolkit review
Biological Reviews, Volume 99, Issue 6, Page 2338-2375, December 2024.ABSTRACT Exoskeletons are a defining character of all arthropods that provide physical support for their segmented bodies and appendages as well as protection from the environment and predation. This ubiquitous yet evolutionarily variable feature has been instrumental in facilitating the adoption of a variety of lifestyles and the exploitation of ...
