Distribution of tick-borne diseases in China [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2013
Abstract As an important contributor to vector-borne diseases in China, in recent years, tick-borne diseases have attracted much attention because of their increasing incidence and consequent significant harm to livestock and human health. The most commonly observed human tick-borne diseases in China include Lyme borreliosis (known as Lyme ...

Citizen science informs human-tick exposure in the Northeastern United States

International Journal of Health Geographics, 2019
Background Tick-borne disease is the result of spillover of pathogens into the human population. Traditionally, literature has focused on characterization of tick-borne disease pathogens and ticks in their sylvatic cycles.

Proteomic as an Exploratory Approach to Develop Vaccines Against Tick-Borne Diseases Using Lyme Borreliosis as a Test Case

Vaccines, 2020
Tick-borne diseases affecting humans and animals are on the rise worldwide. Vaccines constitute an effective control measure, but very few are available. We selected Lyme borreliosis, a bacterial infection transmitted by the hard tick Ixodes, to validate

Human Co-Infections between Borrelia burgdorferi s.l. and Other Ixodes-Borne Microorganisms: A Systematic Review

Pathogens, 2022
When it comes to tick-borne diseases, co-infections are often mentioned. This concept includes several entities. On the one hand, tick vectors or vertebrate reservoir host can harbor several microorganisms that can be pathogenic for humans.

Persistence mechanisms in tick-borne diseases : tick-borne diseases

Onderstepoort J Vet Res, 2009
The use of new, highly sensitive diagnostic methods has revealed persistent infections to be a common feature of different tick-borne diseases, such as babesiosis, anaplasmosis and heartwater. Antigenic variation can contribute to disease persistence through the continual elaboration of new surface structures, and we know in several instances how ...

Engineering Highly Cellularized Living Materials via Mechanical Agitation

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A mechanical agitation strategy is developed to engineer highly cellularized living materials, achieving cell densities of up to 1 billion cells per milliliter. By precisely tuning properties such as stiffness and toughness in blood clots, the approach is validated in both in vitro and in vivo studies.

Soft Nanocarriers as Antimicrobial Co‐Delivery Systems to Combat Resistant Infections

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Soft nanocarrier‐based co‐delivery systems present a versatile and promising platform for combating antimicrobial resistance (AMR) by enabling spatiotemporally controlled, pathogen‐specific drug release. Their tunable physicochemical properties allow for the co‐encapsulation of synergistic antimicrobial agents, optimization of drug ratios, and surface ...
