Impacts of Low Temperatures on Wolbachia (Rickettsiales: Rickettsiaceae)-Infected Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae)

Journal of Medical Entomology, 2020
AbstractIn recent decades, the occurrence and distribution of arboviral diseases transmitted by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes has increased. In a new control strategy, populations of mosquitoes infected with Wolbachia are being released to replace existing populations and suppress arboviral disease transmission.

Feeding byAmblyomma maculatum(Acari: Ixodidae) EnhancesRickettsia parkeri(Rickettsiales: Rickettsiaceae) Infection in the Skin [PDF]

Journal of Medical Entomology, 2014
Rickettsia parkeri Luckman (Rickettsiales: Rickettsiaceae), a member of the spotted fever group of Rickettsia, is the tick-borne causative agent of a newly recognized, eschar-associated rickettsiosis. Because of its relatively recent designation as a pathogen, few studies have examined the pathogenesis of transmission of R.

Exploring the Niche of Rickettsia montanensis (Rickettsiales: Rickettsiaceae) Infection of the American Dog Tick (Acari: Ixodidae), Using Multiple Species Distribution Model Approaches [PDF]

Journal of Medical Entomology, 2020
Abstract The American dog tick, Dermacentor variabilis (Say) (Acari: Ixodidae), is a vector for several human disease-causing pathogens such as tularemia, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and the understudied spotted fever group rickettsiae (SFGR) infection caused by Rickettsia montanensis.

Detection of Rickettsia spp. and Anaplasma ovis in Melophagus ovinus from southern Xinjiang, China

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 37, Issue 4, Page 865-870, December 2023., 2023
First report of the detection of Rickettsia massiliae DNA in M. ovinus. First report of the detection of Candidatus Rickettsia barbariae DNA in M. ovinus. Candidatus Rickettsia barbariae and Genotype III A. ovis can coexist in M. ovinus. Abstract Melophagus ovinus is a hematophagous insect that is distributed worldwide and plays a crucial role in ...

Positive associations matter: Microbial relationships drive tick microbiome composition

Molecular Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 14, Page 4078-4092, July 2023., 2023
Abstract Untangling how factors such as environment, host, associations among bacterial species and dispersal predict microbial composition is a fundamental challenge. In this study, we use complementary machine‐learning approaches to quantify the relative role of these factors in shaping microbiome variation of the blacklegged tick Ixodes scapularis ...

A bacterial symbiont in the gill of the marine scallop Argopecten irradians irradians metabolizes dimethylsulfoniopropionate

mLife, Volume 2, Issue 2, Page 178-189, June 2023., 2023
Abstract Microbial lysis of dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) is a key step in marine organic sulfur cycling and has been recently demonstrated to play an important role in mediating interactions between bacteria, algae, and zooplankton. To date, microbes that have been found to lyse DMSP are largely confined to free‐living and surface‐attached ...

Limited detection of shared zoonotic pathogens in deer keds and blacklegged ticks co‐parasitizing white‐tailed deer in the eastern United States

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 37, Issue 2, Page 179-188, June 2023., 2023
Lipoptena cervi and Ixodes scapularis sampled from the same white‐tailed deer did not consistently harbour similar bacterial genera (N = 38 deer). Non‐systemic acquisition of pathogens by keds requires further study. Bartonella sp. was detected from deer ked species (Lipoptena sp., Neolipoptena ferrisi) in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, Tennessee ...
