Suitable habitats for Palearctic Ornithodoros soft ticks

, 2017
Ticks are economically and medically important due to injuries to livestock directly caused by their bite and their ability to transmit pathogens to humans and animals. While hard ticks (Ixodidae) have been extensively studied, the ability of soft ticks (Argasidae) to transmit pathogens to humans and domestic animals remains underestimated (Gray ...

Molecular analysis of Anaplasma ovis, Theileria ovis and Brucella abortus in adult Ornithodoros lahorensis soft ticks (Acari: Ixodida: Argasidae) isolated from the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, China

Journal of Veterinary Research
Ticks are obligate blood-feeding arthropods that cause significant economic losses in domestic animal husbandry and threaten public health. However, information about soft ticks (Acari: Argasidae) and tick-borne pathogens in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous

Pathogen and Host Associations of Soft Ticks Collected in South Texas

Vector-Borne and Zoonotic Diseases
Background: Soft ticks (Family: Argasidae) are vectors of relapsing fever Borrelia in the United States and are potential vectors of African swine fever virus, a pathogen that could have a devastating effect on the U.S.

Experimental design impacts the vector competence of Ornithodoros ticks for African swine fever virus: a meta-analysis of published evaluations

Peer Community Journal
African Swine Fever (ASF) is a highly economically devastating viral disease for swine. Soft ticks of the genus Ornithodoros are involved in its epidemiology, as vectors and natural reservoirs of African Swine Fever Virus (ASFV). The vector competence of

Two Distinct Local Complications Due to Tick Bite

, 2009
Ticks live courtesy of intermediate hosts such as rodents and other small mammalians. Tick bite-related diseases are often seen among stock farmers and people living in forested regions. The microorganism passes to the host by injection via blood sucking.

Existence of phenol oxidase in the argasid tick Ornithodoros moubata

, 2002
Phenol oxidase (PO, EC 1.10.3.1) activity was detected in the hemolymph of the fourth instar nymphs of the argasid tick, Ornithodoros moubata, with peak levels corresponding to the days before the majority of the nymphs had molted, suggestive of a ...

Regioisomerism Rewires Optical and Ion Recognition Properties in Azulenylsumanenes—Curved Non‐Alternant π‐Systems

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Regioisomerism rewires orbital topology and electronic polarity in curved non‐alternant π‐systems, switching both optical response and alkali metal ion recognition from Na+ to Rb+ selectivity. ABSTRACT Herein, we explore the fundamental concept of combining the molecular curvature of a molecular fragment of buckminsterfullerene with the pronounced ...

Synthesis and Characterization of Hemiindigo‐Based Glycoside and Glycomacrocycle

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Glycosyl hemiindigos: we have synthesized hemiindigo‐functionalized glycoside and glycomacrocycle which are photoswitchable under visible light irradiation with high photoconversion yield and fluorescence emission property in acetonitrile. The conformational constrained glycomacrocycle displayed more efficient photoisomerization.
