DOI: 10.1128/mbio.03549-24

Abstract: ABSTRACT Anaplasma phagocytophilum is an obligate intracellular rickettsial pathogen that infects humans and animals. The black-legged tick Ixodes scapularis acts as a vector and transmits this bacterium to the vertebrate host. Upon entry into a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.ppat.1013393

Abstract: Cellular RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) are pivotal for the viral lifecycle, mediating key host-virus interactions that promote or repress virus infection. While these interactions have been largely studied in the vertebrate host, no comprehensive analyses of… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fvets.2021.748427

Abstract: Ixodes scapularis is the primary vector of tick-borne pathogens in North America but notably does not transmit pathogenic Rickettsia species. This tick harbors the transovarially transmitted endosymbiont Rickettsia buchneri, which is widespread in I. scapularis… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/ijerph19031051

Abstract: The specific interactions of members of tick bacterial microbiota and their effects on pathogen transmission remains relatively unexplored. Here, we introduced a novel Wolbachia infection type into Ixodes scapularis tick cells and examined the antipathogenic… read more here.
