Multiple Acquisitions of Pathogen-Derived Francisella Endosymbionts in Soft Ticks [PDF]

Genome Biology and Evolution, 2018
Bacterial endosymbionts of ticks are of interest due to their close evolutionary relationships with tick-vectored pathogens. For instance, whereas many ticks contain Francisella-like endosymbionts (FLEs), others transmit the mammalian pathogen Francisella tularensis.

Biological and ecological characteristics of soft ticks (Ixodida: Argasidae) and their impact for predicting tick and associated disease distribution

Parasite, 2009
As evidence of global changes is accumulating, scientists are challenged to detect distribution changes of vectors, reservoirs and pathogens caused by anthropogenic and/or environmental changes.

A study of ticks and tick-borne livestock pathogens in Pakistan. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2017
As obligate blood-feeding arthropods, ticks transmit pathogens to humans and domestic animals more often than other arthropod vectors. Livestock farming plays a vital role in the rural economy of Pakistan, and tick infestation causes serious problems ...

Simulations of Mixed Morphology Supernova Remnants With Anisotropic Thermal Conduction [PDF]

, 2006
We explore the role of anisotropic thermal conduction on the evolution of supernova remnants through interstellar media with a range of densities via numerical simulations. We find that a remnant expanding in a dense environment can produce centre-bright

Peptide OPTX-1 From Ornithodoros papillipes Tick Inhibits the pS273R Protease of African Swine Fever Virus

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
African swine fever virus (ASFV) is a large double-stranded DNA virus and causes high mortality in swine. ASFV can be transmitted by biological vectors, including soft ticks in genus Ornithodoros but not hard ticks.

Spatial multi-criteria decision analysis to predict suitability for African swine fever endemicity in Africa [PDF]

, 2014
Background African swine fever (ASF) is endemic in several countries of Africa and may pose a risk to all pig producing areas on the continent. Official ASF reporting is often rare and there remains limited awareness of the continent-wide distribution ...

Differential Expression of Putative Ornithodoros turicata Defensins Mediated by Tick Feeding

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2020
Additional research on soft ticks in the family Argasidae is needed to bridge the knowledge gap relative to hard ticks of the family Ixodidae; especially, the molecular mechanisms of Ornithodoros biology.
