Positive associations matter: Microbial relationships drive tick microbiome composition

open access: yesMolecular 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 ...

Wolbachia Biocontrol Strategies for Arboviral Diseases and the Potential Influence of Resident Wolbachia Strains in Mosquitoes. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Arboviruses transmitted by mosquitoes are a major cause of human disease worldwide. The absence of vaccines and effective vector control strategies has resulted in the need for novel mosquito control strategies.

Vigilancia de la infección por Rickettsia sp. en capibaras (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris) un modelo potencial de alerta epidemiológica en zonas endémicas

open access: yesBiomédica: revista del Instituto Nacional de Salud, 2011
Introducción. Los capibaras o chigüiros (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris) son huéspedes amplificadores de Rickettsia sp. Usualmente se encuentran parasitados por la garrapata Amblyomma cajennense, principal vector de rickettsiosis en Suramérica.

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

open access: yesmLife, 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

open access: yesMedical 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 ...

Whole‐plant microbiome profiling reveals a novel geminivirus associated with soybean stay‐green disease

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 20, Issue 11, Page 2159-2173, November 2022., 2022
Summary Microbiota colonize every accessible plant tissue and play fundamental roles in plant growth and health. Soybean stay‐green syndrome (SGS), a condition that causes delayed leaf senescence (stay‐green), flat pods and abnormal seeds of soybean, has become the most serious disease of soybean in China.

Bacterial composition in Swedish raw drinking water reveals three major interacting ubiquitous metacommunities

open access: yesMicrobiologyOpen, Volume 11, Issue 5, October 2022., 2022
The composition of microbial communities was investigated at six Swedish freshwater sites used as a source of raw drinking water over several years. By model‐based methodology, a ubiquitous structure in the bacterial composition was found where three different metacommunities of co‐occurring taxa were repeatedly identified: these metacommunities ...

Established Population of the Gulf Coast Tick, Amblyomma maculatum (Acari: Ixodidae), Infected with Rickettsia parkeri (Rickettsiales: Rickettsiaceae), in Connecticut

open access: yesJournal of Medical Entomology, 2021
Abstract We identified an established population of the Gulf Coast tick (Amblyomma maculatum Koch) infected with Rickettsia parkeri in Connecticut, representing the northernmost range limit of this medically relevant tick species. Our finding highlights the importance of tick surveillance and public health challenges posed by geographic ...
