Abstract:
... Amblyomma geoemydae is an oriental tick species primarily associated with turtles and tortoises but also sometimes reported from other vertebrates, including humans. Although A. geoemydae was first reported from the Philippines more than 70 years ago, it has not been reported since, and no local distributional or host data have been published. Herein, we present the first definitive locality repor ...

Abstract:
... Biological control based on entomopathogenic fungi is a promising option for controlling ticks on livestock. The objective of this study was to evaluate acaricidal effect of M. anisopliae (Metschnikoff) Sorokin (Ma14 strain) against R. microplus (Canestrini, 1887) on cattle. Thirty heifers naturally infested with R. microplus were divided into three groups of 10 each. One group was sprayed with Ma ...

In a field-based collection from random goats and pastures in eastern Oklahoma, we collected three species and three life stages of ticks. Ticks were collected throughout the year from domestic goats even when they were not collected in pastures. ...

Abstract:
... 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 synthesizes two lines of supporting evidence. First, allergy has been shown to have direct anti‐cancer effects with unknown mechanism. Second, ...

BACKGROUND: Ixodes barkeri, a tick with a distinctive ventrolateral horn-like projection on palpal segment 1, was described in 2019 from two male ticks from the Wet Tropics of Far North Queensland, Australia. However, females lie at the core of the taxonomy and subgenus classification of Ixodes; hence, we sought specimens of female ticks, successfully recovering females, plus nymphs and larvae. Mi ...

As sources of radiative heat produce convective heat as well, it is difficult to separate their effects of tick behavior. Here we study the behavior of the black-legged tick Ixodes scapularis and the lone star tick Amblyomma amercanum to sources of heat radiation representative of a human host ...

As a result, it is increasingly important to study host–pathogen interactions within the context of their ecology and evolution. The dilution effect is the concept that higher biodiversity decreases pathogen transmission. It has been observed especially in zoonotic vector‐borne pathosystems, yet evidence a ...
