Transstadial Transmission and Replication Kinetics of West Nile Virus Lineage 1 in Laboratory Reared Ixodes ricinus Ticks

Pathogens, 2020
West Nile virus (WNV) is a mosquito-borne agent that has also been isolated from several tick species. Vector competence of Ixodes ricinus, one of the most common tick species in Europe, has been poorly investigated for WNV to date.

Functional validation of a modified platelet desialylation test for immune and hereditary thrombocytopenias

Transfusion Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Thrombocytopenia arises from heterogeneous inherited and acquired disorders, and identifying the underlying platelet clearance mechanisms remains challenging. Platelet desialylation, characterised by loss of sialic acid and consequent exposure of terminal β‐galactose residues recognised by the Ashwell–Morell receptor, represents an ...

Anaphylactic transfusion reaction to group B platelets related to alpha‐gal syndrome: A case report

Transfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Alpha‐gal syndrome (AGS), a distinct form of IgE‐mediated hypersensitivity to the carbohydrate galactose‐α‐1,3‐galactose (α‐Gal), typically occurs after repeated tick bites and leads to allergic reactions after ingestion of mammalian meat.

Role of mustelids in the life-cycle of ixodid ticks and transmission cycles of four tick-borne pathogens

Parasites & Vectors, 2018
Background Elucidating which wildlife species significantly contribute to the maintenance of Ixodes ricinus populations and the enzootic cycles of the pathogens they transmit is imperative in understanding the driving forces behind the emergence of tick ...

Clinical application of a modified platelet desialylation test for mechanistic characterization of platelet transfusion refractoriness

Transfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Platelet transfusion refractoriness (PTR) is a major challenge in transfusion medicine and may result from both immune and non‐immune mechanisms. Although alloantibodies are well‐established contributors, Fc‐independent pathways such as platelet desialylation have emerged as alternative mechanisms of clearance.

Unusual MRI features in a case of presumed canine tick‐borne meningoencephalomyelitis

Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 3, August 2026.
Abstract A 7‐year‐old, standard, wire‐haired dachshund presented with quickly progressive multifocal central nervous system signs, which localised to the brainstem and cervical myelopathy, including reduced cervical and thoracic limb muscle tone and withdrawal reflexes. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed bilateral, approximately symmetric, T2‐weighted

Anaplasma phagocytophilum prevalence in ticks and rodents in an urban and natural habitat in South-Western Slovakia

Parasites & Vectors, 2015
Background Ixodes ricinus is the principal vector of Anaplasma phagocytophilum, the ethiological agent of granulocytic anaplasmosis in Europe. Anaplasmosis is an emerging zoonotic disease with a natural enzootic cycle. The reservoir competence of rodents

Quantifying Protein–Glycan Interactions Using Native Mass Spectrometry

Mass Spectrometry Reviews, Volume 45, Issue 4, Page 800-828, July/August 2026.
ABSTRACT Interactions between glycan‐binding proteins (GBPs) and carbohydrates (glycans) are essential to many biological processes relevant to human health and disease. For most GBPs, however, their glycan interactome—the repertoire of glycans recognized and their specificities—is poorly defined.

Evolutionary Patterns of the Genes Involved in the Integrity and Segregation of Chromosomes in Sawflies (Hymenoptera: Symphyta)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
This study identifies and characterizes the genes encoding cohesin and condensin complexes across Symphytan superfamilies, revealing their structural and functional roles with conserved motifs in maintaining genome stability. Phylogenetic analyses indicate that SMC genes originated from ancient duplication events, with notable gene loss (e.g., CAPG2 ...
