Genomic insights into the Ixodes scapularis tick vector of Lyme disease

Monika Gulia-Nuss, +124 more
TL;DR: Insights from genome analyses into parasitic processes unique to ticks, including host ‘questing', prolonged feeding, cuticle synthesis, blood meal concentration, novel methods of haemoglobin digestion, haem detoxification, vitellogenesis and prolonged off-host survival are reported.
Journal ArticleDOI

The E3 Ubiquitin Ligase XIAP Restricts Anaplasma phagocytophilum Colonization of Ixodes scapularis Ticks

TL;DR: A role for ubiquitination during bacterial colonization of disease vectors is defined and evidence that xiap silencing significantly increases tick colonization by the bacterium Anaplasma phagocytophilum, the causative agent of human granulocytic anaplasmosis is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI

Anaplasma phagocytophilum: deceptively simple or simply deceptive?

TL;DR: An overview of the underlying events by which the immune system responds to A. phagocytophilum infection, how this pathogen counteracts host immunity and the contribution of the tick vector for microbial transmission is provided.
