Journal of Medical Entomology, 2021 Abstract Lyme disease, caused by Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto and most commonly transmitted by Ixodes scapularis Say (Ixodida: Ixodidae), is the most common tick-borne disease in Maryland. Because B. burgdorferi s.s. is maintained in enzootic cycles among wild mice (Peromyscus spp) and Ixodes spp ticks, differing patterns of ...

Acquisition of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto (Spirochaetales: Spirochaetaceae) by Haemaphysalis longicornis (Acari: Ixodidae) nymphs during interrupted feeding. [PDF]
J Med EntomolAbstract A previous laboratory study using Haemaphysalis longicornis Neumann (Acari: Ixodidae) ticks of North American origin showed that larvae could acquire the Lyme disease spirochete, Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto (s.s.) (Spirochaetales: Spirochaetaceae) while feeding to completion on infected mice.

Unveiling the Microeukaryotic Landscape of the Red Coral Corallium rubrum Across the Northwestern Mediterranean Sea. [PDF]
Environ Microbiol RepThis study demonstrates that the eukaryome of the Mediterranean octocoral Corallium rubrum exhibits high variability, and the dominance of certain taxa is influenced by spatiotemporal environmental factors. Despite this, core microeukaryotic families, such as Licnophoridae and Dino‐Group I Clade 1, were consistently present, suggesting key roles in the
