Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Biological Sciences, 2019 Mice Against Ticks is a community-guided ecological engineering project that aims to prevent tick-borne disease by using CRISPR-based genome editing to heritably immunize the white-footed mice (Peromyscus leucopus) responsible for infecting many ticks in

The Tick-Borne Pathogens: An Overview of China’s Situation
Acta Parasitologica, 2023 Background Ticks are important medical arthropods that can transmit hundreds of pathogens, such as parasites, bacteria, and viruses, leading to serious public health burdens worldwide.

Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1991 Investigation of the epidemiology of Lyme disease depends upon information generated from several sources. Human disease surveillance can be conducted by both passive and active means involving physicians, public health agencies and laboratories. Passive

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2019 BackgroundExposure to blacklegged ticks Ixodes scapularis that transmit pathogens is thought to occur peri-domestically. However, the locations where people most frequently encounter infected ticks are not well characterized, leading to mixed messages ...

Capture Sequencing Enables Sensitive Detection of Tick-Borne Agents in Human Blood
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Assay sensitivity can be a limiting factor in the use of PCR as a tool for the detection of tick-borne pathogens in blood. We evaluated the performance of Tick-borne disease Capture Sequencing Assay (TBDCapSeq), a capture sequencing assay targeting tick ...

Forecasting Disease Burden In Philippines: A Symbolic Regression Analysis [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Burden of disease measures the impact of living with illness and injury and dying prematurely and it is increasing worldwide leading cause of death both global and national. This paper aimed to propose an index of diseases and evaluate a mathematical model to describe the number of burden of disease by cause in the Philippines from 1990 - 2016. Through

Cascading effects of predator activity on tick-borne disease risk
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2017 Predators and competitors of vertebrates can in theory reduce the density of infected nymphs (DIN)—an often-used measure of tick-borne disease risk—by lowering the density of reservoir-competent hosts and/or the tick burden on reservoir-competent hosts ...

PLoS ONE, 2015 Habitat heterogeneity influences pathogen ecology by affecting vector abundance and the reservoir host communities. We investigated spatial patterns of disease risk for two human pathogens in the Borrelia genus–B. burgdorferi and B.

Parasites & Vectors, 2020 Rodents are considered to contribute strongly to the risk of tick-borne diseases by feeding Ixodes ricinus larvae and by acting as amplifying hosts for pathogens.
