Within-population diversity of bacterial microbiomes in winter ticks (Dermacentor albipictus)
The bacterial microbiome of ticks is notoriously diverse, but the factors leading to this diversity are poorly understood. We sequenced bacterial 16S rRNA amplicons from individual winter ticks, Dermacentor albipictus, to assess whether their one-host life cycle is associated with reduced bacterial diversity. On average, about 100 bacterial genera were

Elk, Winter Ticks, and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever: A Query
A case of Rocky Mountain spotted fever following tick-bite was reported on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington by Semler (9) under circumstances which suggest that the vector was probably the winter tick, Dermacentor albipictus, a species heretofore not under suspicion as a carrier because of its presumed one-host habits.

Farmers’ Protests in Germany: Media Coverage and Types of Bias
ABSTRACT The German farmers’ protests of 2024 sparked widespread media coverage and public debate. Yet, media coverage was not always positive, reflecting the media's attention‐seeking and selective focus. Occurrences of farmers blocking media outlets reflected distrust in how their concerns were portrayed.
