Prevalence Rates of Borrelia burgdorferi (Spirochaetales: Spirochaetaceae), Anaplasma phagocytophilum (Rickettsiales: Anaplasmataceae), and Babesia microti (Piroplasmida: Babesiidae) in Host-Seeking Ixodes scapularis (Acari: Ixodidae) from Pennsylvania [PDF]
Journal of Medical Entomology, 2015 AbstractThe etiological agents responsible for Lyme disease (Borrelia burgdorferi), human granulocytic anaplasmosis (Anaplasma phagocytophilum), and babesiosis (Babesia microti) are primarily transmitted by the blacklegged tick, Ixodes scapularisSay. Despite Pennsylvania having in recent years reported the highest number of Lyme disease cases in the ...

Reservoir Role of LizardPsammodromus algirusin Transmission Cycle ofBorrelia burgdorferiSensu Lato (Spirochaetaceae) in Tunisia [PDF]
Journal of Medical Entomology, 2006 To investigate the reservoir role of the lizard Psammodromus algirus for the Lyme disease spirochete, 199 lizards were trapped from April to October 2003 in El Jouza, northwestern Tunisia. In this site, the infection rate of free-living Ixodes ricinus (L.) by Borrelia was evaluated by immunofluorescence as 34.6% for adult ticks and 12.5% for nymphs ...

Microbiome Dynamics in Early Life Stages of the Precious Mediterranean Red Coral Corallium rubrum. [PDF]
Environ Microbiol RepThe bacterial microbiota of the precious red coral Corallium rubrum matures after the first year of life. Specifically, the dominant symbionts of the adult colonies such as Spirochaetaceae were absent in larvae, settlers and recruits, suggesting that they were likely acquired horizontally from the environment between 6 months and 3 years of age ...

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

Comparative Analysis of Root Microbiomes of Rice Cultivars with High and Low Methane Emissions Reveals Differences in Abundance of Methanogenic Archaea and Putative Upstream Fermenters. [PDF]
, 2020 Rice cultivation worldwide accounts for ∼7 to 17% of global methane emissions. Methane cycling in rice paddies is a microbial process not only involving methane producers (methanogens) and methane metabolizers (methanotrophs) but also other microbial ...
