Emergence of Ixodes scapularis and Borrelia burgdorferi, the Lyme disease vector and agent, in Ohio [PDF]

, 2014
Lyme disease, the most common vector-borne disease in the United States, is caused by a tick-borne infection with Borrelia burgdorferi. Currently, Ohio is considered by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to be non-endemic for Lyme ...

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

Mechanochemistry: Fundamental Principles and Applications

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In this review, the physicochemical principles of mechanochemistry are first clarified. Based on this foundation, the research basis and cutting‐edge scientific achievements in four areas are introduced: solid‐state organic chemistry, polymers, interface science, and biomechanochemistry.

A lifelong study of a pack Rhodesian ridgeback dogs reveals subclinical and clinical tick-borne Anaplasma phagocytophilum infections with possible reinfection or persistence. [PDF]

, 2018
Various tick-borne infections often occur without specific clinical signs and are therefore notoriously hard to diagnose separately in veterinary practice.

Control of tick-borne diseases

International Journal for Parasitology, 1987
Abstract The control of tick-borne protozoan diseases (babesiosis and theileriosis) depends on judicious integration of management, vector control, chemotherapy and immunization. The relative importance of each method will depend on the animal species involved as well as epidemiological and financial considerations.

IncRNA‐ZFAS1, an Emerging Gate‐Keeper in DNA Damage‐Dependent Transcriptional Regulation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
LncZFAS1 plays a crucial role during DNA damage response in mammalian cells. Loss of lncZFAS1 results in deficient DNA lesion removal and reduced cell viability. Mechanistically, lncZFAS1 modulates RNAPII phosphorylation and transcription and thereby promotes both GG‐NER and TC‐NER upon UV damage.

Editorial: ticks & tick-borne parasites and diseases

Parasitology
Ticks and tick-borne diseases affect humans, livestock, and wildlife in most regions of the globe. Although there are over 900 tick species globally, only approximately 10% of species are second to mosquitoes as major vectors of human and veterinary ...

Global dynamics of tick-borne diseases

Mathematical Biosciences and Engineering, 2020
<abstract> <p>A tick-borne disease model is considered with nonlinear incidence rate and piecewise constant delay of generalized type. It is known that the tick-borne diseases have their peak during certain periods due to the life cycle of ticks. Only adult ticks can bite and transmit disease.
