The first tick genome published in 2016 provided an invaluable tool for studying the
molecular basis of tick–pathogen interactions. Metabolism is a key element in host …

Anaplasma phagocytophilum is an emerging zoonotic pathogen that causes human
granulocytic anaplasmosis. These intracellular bacteria establish infection by affecting cell …

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 …

Ticks act as vectors of pathogens affecting human and animal health worldwide, and recent
research has focused on the characterization of tick-pathogen interactions using omics …

Tick-borne diseases (TBDs) are a growing global health concern. Despite extensive studies,
ill-defined tick-associated pathologies remain with unknown aetiologies. Human …

Tick saliva facilitates tick feeding and infection of the host. Gene expression analysis of tick
salivary glands and other tissues involved in host–pathogen interactions has revealed a …

Ticks are hematophagous arachnids transmitting a wide variety of pathogens including
viruses, bacteria, and protozoans to their vertebrate hosts. The tick vector competence has to …

Recently, our knowledge of the composition and complexity of tick microbial communities
has increased and supports microbial impact on tick biology. Results support a phylogenetic …

The blood-feeding behavior of ticks has resulted in them becoming one of the most
important vectors of disease-causing pathogens. Ticks possess a well-developed innate …

The main importance of ticks resides in their ability to harbor pathogens that can be
transmitted to terrestrial vertebrates including humans. Recently, studies have focused on …
