the northern hemisphere and is primarily caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi in …

Borrelia burgdorferi is the causative agent of Lyme disease and is transmitted to vertebrate
hosts by Ixodes spp. ticks. The spirochaete relies heavily on its arthropod host for basic …

Among arthropod vectors, ticks transmit the most diverse human and animal pathogens,
leading to an increasing number of new challenges worldwide. Here we sequenced and …

Ticks and the pathogens they transmit constitute a growing burden for human and animal
health worldwide. Vector competence is a component of vectorial capacity and depends on …

As long-term pool feeders, ticks have developed myriad strategies to remain discreetly but
solidly attached to their hosts for the duration of their blood meal. The critical biological …

This manuscript is part of a series of reviews that aim to cover published research on
Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) and its etiological agent, CCHF virus (CCHFV) …

In little more than 30 years, Lyme disease, which is caused by the spirochaete Borrelia
burgdorferi, has risen from relative obscurity to become a global public health problem and a …

A number of tick-borne diseases of humans have increased in incidence and geographic
range over the past few decades, and there is concern that they will pose an even greater …

Arthopods such as Ixodes scapularis ticks serve as vectors for many human pathogens. The
arthropod gut presents a pivotal microbial entry point and determines pathogen colonization …
