Vector Specificity of the Relapsing Fever Spirochete Borrelia hermsii (Spirochaetales: Borreliaceae) for the Tick Ornithodoros hermsi (Acari: Argasidae) Involves Persistent Infection of the Salivary Glands. [PDF]
J Med Entomol, 2021 Abstract The relapsing fever spirochetes Borrelia hermsii and Borrelia turicatae are each maintained and transmitted in nature by their specific tick vectors, Ornithodoros hermsi Wheeler (Acari: Argasidae) and Ornithodoros turicata (Duges), respectively.

Exploring the Role of Oral Microbiota in the Pathophysiology and Treatment of Bruxism. [PDF]
FASEB JBruxism, characterized by involuntary teeth grinding and clenching during wakefulness and sleep, leads to oral health issues such as tooth wear, temporomandibular disorders (TMD), gum recession, and chronic pain. While traditionally attributed to psychological and behavioral factors, recent research suggests a potential link between oral microbiota ...

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 ...

Environmental DNA, Volume 5, Issue 5, Page 920-933, September 2023., 2023 The composition and microbial activity of marine water is expected to vary with seasons and abiotic variables. To characterize both the microbial compositional and functional changes associated with abiotic factors such as pH, temperature, alkalinity, aragonite, calcite and pCO2, here we generate a reference metatranscriptome from the Strait of Georgia,

Medical 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 ...

Microfluidic devices for studying bacterial taxis, drug testing and biofilm formation
Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 15, Issue 2, Page 395-414, February 2022., 2022 Microfluidics is an emerging technique that can complements current biological assays. Here, we review some key microfluidic‐based studies describing the effects of different microenvironmental conditions on bacterial phenotypes. We also highlight the potential and possibilities of using microfluidic‐based technology to study bacterial phenotypes in ...
