Bacteriomes, cryptic forms and evolution of a common wireworm pest species, Hypnoidus bicolor

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
Wireworms are important agricultural pests, including Hypnoidus bicolor in the Canadian Prairies. Parthenogenetic and sexual populations of H. bicolor appear associated with different molecular clades. Bacterial community composition and structure were influenced by developmental stage, sampling location and host genetics.

You Scratch My Back: White‐Footed Mouse (Peromyscus leucopus) Sibling Pairs Engage in Allogrooming in Response to Tick Burdens

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.
This study investigated whether blacklegged tick (Ixodes scapularis) infestation influences allogrooming behavior in sibling pairs of white‐footed mice (Peromyscus leucopus). Using laboratory‐reared siblings housed in pairs, we compared allogrooming frequency and cumulative duration between tick‐infested and non‐infested groups across both sexes ...

High prevalence of a host‐associated Anaplasma lineage in wild coatis (Nasua nasua) from the Brazilian Atlantic Forest

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Anaplasma sp. DNA was detected in 47.9% of free‐ranging coatis (Nasua nasua) sampled in Iguaçu National Park, southern Brazil. Molecular analyses revealed a genetically distinct Anaplasma lineage infecting coatis, differing from Anaplasma strains detected in associated tick populations.

Impact of climate change on the tick-host-pathogen complex: distribution patterns, disease incidence, and host infestation [PDF]

Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária
Ticks, being ectothermic, are highly sensitive to climate variables, such as temperature, humidity, and precipitation. Over the past century, fossil fuel use has altered the climate and significantly affected the tick-host-pathogen system.
