A combination of antibodies against Bm86 and Subolesin inhibits engorgement of Rhipicephalus australis (formerly Rhipicephalus microplus) larvae in vitro.
(BioMed Central, 2019-07-25)Background: Rhipicephalus microplus is a hard tick species that has a high impact on cattle health and production in tropical and subtropical regions. Recently, ribosomal DNA and morphological analysis resulted in the ... -
A community approach to the Neotropical ticks-hosts interactions
(Nature Research, 2020)The relationships between ticks and hosts are relevant to capture the ecological background driving the evolution of these parasites. We used a set of 4,764 records of ticks of the genera Amblyomma, Ixodes, and Haemaphysalis ... -
A lateral flow assay for the rapid diagnosis of Mycobacterium bovis infection in wild boar
(WILEY, 2019-05-23)The native Eurasian wild boar (Sus scrofa) is a reservoir of Mycobacterium bovis, the causative agent of animal tuberculosis (TB), a chronic disease in livestock, companion animals and wild mammals. Cases of M. bovis ... -
A metaproteomics approach reveals changes in mandibular lymph node microbiota of wild boar naturally exposed to an increasing trend of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex infection
(ElsevierChurchill Livingstone, 2018-12-16)Constraints in the characterization of microbiota community that circulates in the host have limited the extent ofco-infection studies in natural populations. In this study, we used a metaproteomics approach to characterize ... -
A novel combined scientific and artistic approach for advanced characterization of interactomes:
(MDPI, 2020-02-08)The main objective of this study was to propose a novel methodology to approach challenges in molecular biology. Akirin/Subolesin (AKR/SUB) are vaccine protective antigens and are a model for the study of the interactome ... -
A study of viral pathogens in bat species in the Iberian Peninsula: identification of new coronavirus genetic variants
(Taylor & Francis, 2022-11-03)Bats have long been associated with multiple pathogens, including viruses affecting humans such as henipaviruses, filoviruses, bunyaviruses and coronaviruses. The alpha and beta coronaviruses genera can infect most mammalian ... -
A Vaccinomics Approach for the Identification of Tick Protective Antigens for the Control of Ixodes ricinus and Dermacentor reticulatus Infestations in Companion Animals
(MDPI, 2019-07-26)Ticks and tick-borne pathogens affect health and welfare of companion animals worldwide, and some human tick-borne diseases are associated with exposure to domestic animals. Vaccines are the most environmentally friendly ... -
A vaccinomics approach to the identification of tick protective antigens for the control of Ixodes ricinus and Dermacentor reticulatus infestations in companion animals.
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2019-07-26)Ticks and tick-borne pathogens affect health and welfare of companion animals worldwide, and some human tick-borne diseases are associated with exposure to domestic animals. Vaccines are the most environmentally friendly ... -
Additional evidence on the efficacy of different Akirin vaccines assessed on Anopheles arabiensis (Diptera: Culicidae)
(Springer, 2021-04)Background: Anopheles arabiensis is an opportunistic malaria vector that rests and feeds outdoors, circumventingcurrent indoor vector control methods. Furthermore, this vector will readily feed on both animals and humans. ... -
Akirin/Subolesin regulatory mechanisms at host/tick–pathogen interactions
(Oxford University Press, 2021-11)Ticks and tick-borne pathogens such as Anaplasma phagocytophilum affect human and animal health worldwide and thus the characterization of host/tick–pathogen interactions is important for the control of tick-borne diseases. ... -
Analysis of Genetic Diversity in Indian Isolates of Rhipicephalus microplus Based on Bm86 Gene Sequence
(MDPI, 2021-02-26)The control of cattle tick, Rhipicephalus microplus, is focused on repeated use of acaricides. However, due to growing acaricide resistance and residues problem, immunization of animals along with limited use of effective ... -
Anaplasma phagocytophilum modifies tick cell microRNA expression and upregulates isc-mir-79 to facilitate infection by targeting the Roundabout protein 2 pathway.
(Nature Publishing Group, 2019-06-24)The microRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small noncoding RNAs that have important regulatory roles in multicellular organisms including innate and adaptive immune pathways to control bacterial, parasite and viral infections, ... -
Anaplasma phagocytophilum MSP4 and HSP70 proteins are involved in interactions with host cells during pathogen infection.
(Frontiers Media, 2017-07-05)Anaplasma phagocytophilum transmembrane and surface proteins play a role during infection and multiplication in host neutrophils and tick vector cells. Recently, A. phagocytophilum Major surface protein 4 (MSP4) and Heat ... -
Anti-microbiota vaccines modulate the tick microbiome in a taxon-specific manner
(Frontiers, 2021-07-12)The lack of tools for the precise manipulation of the tick microbiome is currently a major limitation to achieve mechanistic insights into the tick microbiome. Anti-tick microbiota vaccines targeting keystone bacteria of ... -
Anti-Tick Microbiota Vaccine Impacts Ixodes ricinus Performance during Feeding
(MDPI, 2020-11-21)The tick microbiota is a highly complex ensemble of interacting microorganisms. Keystone taxa, with a central role in the microbial networks, support the stability and fitness of the microbial communities. The keystoneness ... -
Arthropod Ectoparasites Have Potential to Bind SARS-CoV-2 via ACE
