Journal ArticleDOI
Immunization of Mice Against West Nile Virus with Recombinant Envelope Protein
TL;DR: C3H/HeN mice immunized with E protein developed E protein Abs and were protected from infection with WN virus and passive administration of E protein antisera was also sufficient to afford immunity.
Journal ArticleDOI
OspB Antibody Prevents Borrelia burgdorferi Colonization of Ixodes scapularis
TL;DR: These studies show that nonbactericidal OspB antibodies interfere with B. burgdorferi-tick attachment in vivo and highlight a specific role for OSpB in spirochete- arthropod interactions and suggest new antibody-mediated strategies for interfering with B.'s burgdorFERi transmission.
Journal ArticleDOI
An Exotic Hitchhiker: A Case Report of Importation into Connecticut from Africa of the Human Parasitizing Tick, Hyalomma truncatum (Acari: Ixodidae)
Goudarz Molaei,Goudarz Molaei,Theodore G. Andreadis,Theodore G. Andreadis,John F. Anderson,John F. Anderson,Kirby C. Stafford +6 more
TL;DR: This case report highlights continuing risk associated with the importation of exotic tick vectors of medical and veterinary significance on international travelers returning to the United States from abroad.
Journal ArticleDOI
A recombinant envelope protein-based enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for West Nile virus serodiagnosis.
Tian Wang,Louis A. Magnarelli,John F. Anderson,L. Hannah Gould,Sandra L. Bushmich,Susan J. Wong,Erol Fikrig +6 more
TL;DR: Horses and humans with confirmed West Nile virus infection had IgG and/or IgM antibodies to the E protein and ELISA results indicated that an E protein-based ELISA may aid in the serological diagnosis of West Nileirus infection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Serologic analysis of dogs, horses, and cottontail rabbits for antibodies to an antigenic flagellar epitope of Borrelia burgdorferi.
TL;DR: Borrelia lysates or the 41-G antigen may be used in ELISA or immunoblots to document host exposure to this spirochete to increase the specificity of an assay or help confirm the serologic diagnosis of Lyme borreliosis in dogs, horses, and cottontail rabbits.
