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
Endosymbionts of ticks and their relationship to Wolbachia spp. and tick-borne pathogens of humans and animals.
TL;DR: The presence, internal distribution, and phylogenetic position of endosymbiotic bacteria from four species of specific-pathogen-free ticks were studied and it was indicated that the symbionts of these four tick species were not related to the Wolbachia species found in insects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Establishment, maintenance and description of cell lines from the tick Ixodes scapularis.
TL;DR: Several new cell lines derived from embryonated eggs of northern (IDE lines) and southern (ISE lines) populations of the tick Ixodes scapularis were developed to facilitate investigations of the vector phase of tick-borne disease agents in vitro.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rickettsia monacensis sp. nov., a spotted fever group Rickettsia, from ticks (Ixodes ricinus) collected in a European city park.

TL;DR: Rickettsia monacensis joins a growing list of SFG rickettsiae that colonize ticks but whose infectivity and pathogenicity for vertebrates are unknown.
