An ELISA to Detect Serum Antibodies to the Salivary Gland Toxin of Ixodes holocyclus Neumann in Dogs and Rodents [PDF]
Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2011, Issue 1, 2011., 2011 The Ixodes holocyclus tick causes paralysis in up to 10,000 companion and domestic animals each year in Australia. Treatment requires the removal of the parasite and the administration of a commercial tick antiserum that is prepared from hyperimmune dogs.

Harm or protection? The adaptive function of tick toxins. [PDF]
Evol Appl, 2021 Abstract The existence of tick toxins is an old enigma that has intrigued scientists for a long time. The adaptive value of using deadly toxins for predatory animals is obvious: they try to kill the prey in the most effective way or protect themselves from their natural enemies. Ticks, however, are blood‐sucking parasites, and it seems paradoxical that

A retrospective study of 101 dogs with oral melanoma treated with a weekly or biweekly 6 Gy × 6 radiotherapy protocol. [PDF]
Vet Comp Oncol, 2022 Abstract One radiotherapy (RT) protocol used for canine oral melanoma (OM) gives 36 Gy total, in six weekly or biweekly fractions (6 Gy × 6). This retrospective study characterizes oncologic outcomes for a relatively large group of dogs treated with this protocol and determines whether radiation dose intensity (weekly vs.

Concurrent use of rabacfosadine and L-asparaginase for relapsed or refractory multicentric lymphoma in dogs. [PDF]
J Vet Intern Med, 2020 Abstract Background Rabacfosadine (RAB), a novel antineoplastic agent conditionally licensed for the treatment of lymphoma in dogs, is efficacious in both naïve and previously treated dogs. Its use in combination with L‐asparaginase (L‐ASP) has not been studied.

Tick bite induced α‐gal syndrome highlights anticancer effect of allergy
BioEssays, Volume 44, Issue 1, January 2022., 2022 Tick bite induced α‐gal syndrome (AGS) following consumption of mammalian meat is a recently described intriguing disease occurring worldwide. Here, we argue that AGS and delayed allergy in general is an adaptive defence method against cancer. Our hypothesis might open new avenues in cancer research and therapy.

The evolution of IgE‐mediated type I hypersensitivity and its immunological value
Allergy, Volume 76, Issue 4, Page 1024-1040, April 2021., 2021 Abstract The allergic phenotype manifests itself in a spectrum of troublesome to life‐threatening diseases, from seasonal hay fever, through the food allergies, atopic eczema, asthma, to anaphylaxis. Allergy, that is an overreaction to allergen in hypersensitive individuals, results from the production of IgE, mast cell and basophil sensitisation and ...

Biochemical perspectives on paralysis and other forms of toxicoses caused by ticks
Parasitology, 2004 Tick toxicoses, of which paralysis is the most widespread and dominant form, are important elements of pathogenesis induced by ticks. Tick paralysis is the most widespread and dominant form of tick toxicoses. Non-paralytic forms of tick toxicoses do occur and evidence suggests that these forms of toxicoses are not evolutionary related. While functional
