Molecular evidence confirms occurrence of Rhipicephalus microplus Clade A in Kenya and sub-Saharan Africa

Parasites & Vectors, 2020
The tick vector Rhipicephalus microplus which transmits Babesia spp. and rickettsial pathogens has not been reported in Kenya since 1998. More recently, the pathogenic Babesia bovis has been detected in cattle blood DNA. The status of R.

Assessing transgenerational gene editing capacity for enhancing aquaculture productivity in decapod crustaceans

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 16, Issue 4, Page 2077-2089, September 2024.
Abstract In the wake of global population increases and stagnating capture fishery production, there exists a requirement for novel biotechnologies to increase aquaculture productivity to offset demand. Through recognition of limitations imposed by aquaculture—increased incidence of disease, stress, cannibalism, and mortality in captivity—researchers ...

Alpha‐Gal Syndrome: An Underrated Serious Disease and a Potential Future Challenge

Global Challenges, Volume 8, Issue 7, July 2024.
This review delineates alpha‐gal syndrome (AGS), a delayed hypersensitivity to red meat induced by the oligosaccharide alpha‐gal, commonly triggered by tick bites. Unlike conventional food allergies, AGS symptoms emerge several hours after ingestion and may be exacerbated by exposure to specific medical products.

A physiologic overview of the organ-specific transcriptome of the cattle tick Rhipicephalus microplus

Scientific Reports, 2020
To further obtain insights into the Rhipicephalus microplus transcriptome, we used RNA-seq to carry out a study of expression in (i) embryos; (ii) ovaries from partially and fully engorged females; (iii) salivary glands from partially engorged females ...

Selection of Metarhizium spp. Brazilian isolates to control Rhipicephalus microplus ticks: in vitrovirulence tests and conidiogenesis

, 2021
This study aimed to select Metarhizium spp. isolates to control Rhipicephalus microplus ticks by analyzing their in vitro virulence against R. microplus eggs, larvae, and engorged females as well as their ability to produce aerial conidia on potato ...

Targeting Haemaphysalis longicornis serpin to prevent tick feeding and pathogen transmission

Insect Science, Volume 31, Issue 3, Page 694-706, June 2024.
Fed nymphal Haemaphysalis longicornis ticks produce anticoagulant serpins (Hlserpin‐a and Hlserpin‐b) that aid tick feeding. Targeting these serpins through RNA interference or immunization significantly impairs tick feeding. Silencing Hlserpins also reduces Langat virus transmission from ticks to mice.

Insights from entire mitochondrial genome sequences into the phylogeny of ticks of the genera Haemaphysalis and Archaeocroton with the elevation of the subgenus Alloceraea Schulze, 1919 back to the status of a genus

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 38, Issue 2, Page 189-204, June 2024.
We sequenced the entire mt genomes of three species of tick for the first time: Bothriocroton auruginans, B. hydrosauri and H. (Kaiseriana) novaeguineae, and we sequenced the 18S rRNA gene of B. hydrosauri and H. (Kaiseriana) bancrofti. In our phylogenetic trees, Alloceraea was the sister to Archaeocroton sphenodonti, from New Zealand; to the exclusion
