Infection Rates and Characterisation of Rickettsia africae (Rickettsiaceae) Detected in Amblyomma Species from Southern Africa

Microorganisms
Tick-borne rickettsioses are considered among the oldest known vector-borne zoonotic diseases. Among the rickettsiae, Rickettsia africae is the most reported and important in Africa, as it is the aetiological agent of African tick bite fever (ATBF ...

Toward Design Principles for Biomolecular Condensates for Metabolic Pathways

Advanced Biology, EarlyView.
Biomolecular condensates are membrane‐less compartments found through‐out nature which can serve as reaction crucibles for biochemical processes. This review explores the design strategies underlying how condensates can be used in biotechnology to enhance multistep enzyme cascades including enhancement by mass action and substrate channeling, and ...

A Computer Vision Approach to Combat Lyme Disease [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Lyme disease is an infectious disease transmitted to humans by a bite from an infected Ixodes species (blacklegged ticks). It is one of the fastest growing vector-borne illness in North America and is expanding its geographic footprint. Lyme disease treatment is time-sensitive, and can be cured by administering an antibiotic (prophylaxis) to the ...

Ticking clocks in quantum theory [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
We present a derivation of the structure and dynamics of a ticking clock by showing that for finite systems a single natural principle serves to distinguish what we understand as ticking clocks from time-keeping systems in general. As a result we recover the bipartite structure of such a clock: that the information about ticks is a classical degree of ...

Tick vaccines and the control of tick-borne pathogens [PDF]

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2013
Ticks are obligate hematophagous ectoparasites that transmit a wide variety of pathogens to humans and animals. The incidence of tick-borne diseases has increased worldwide in both humans and domestic animals over the past years resulting in greater interest in the study of tick-host-pathogen interactions.

Distribution of Tick Vectors of Severe Fever with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome Virus (SFTSV) Collected from Four Environments in Jeju

Korean Journal of Clinical Laboratory Science, 2020
The distribution of ticks and severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV) pathogens were investigated by collecting ticks from March to November 2018 in four environments (grass fields, copses, mountain roads, and tombs) in Jeju.

Molecular insights into Neotropical bird-tick ecological associations and the role of birds in tick-borne disease ecology [PDF]

arXiv, 2014
Ticks are important vectors of emerging zoonotic diseases. While adults of many tick species parasitize mammals, immature ticks are often found on wild birds. In the tropics, difficulties in species-level identification of immature ticks hinder studies of tick ecology and tick-borne disease transmission, including any potential role for birds.
