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 ...
Vaccinomics approach to the identification of candidate protective antigens for the control of tick vector infestations and Anaplasma phagocytophilum infection
(Frontiers Media, 2017-08-09)
Anaplasma phagocytophilum is an emerging tick-borne pathogen causing human granulocytic anaplasmosis (HGA), tick-borne fever (TBF) in small ruminants, and other forms of anaplasmosis in different domestic and wild animals. ...
Tick-pathogen interactions and vector competence: Identification of molecular drivers for tick-borne diseases
(Frontiers Media, 2017-04-07)
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 genetic determinants affecting the ability of ...
Ixodes scapularis tick cells control Anaplasma phagocytophilum infection by increasing the synthesis of phosphoenolpyruvate from tyrosine
(Frontiers Media, 2017-08-17)
The obligate intracellular pathogen, Anaplasma phagocytophilum, is the causative agent of life-threatening diseases in humans and animals. A. phagocytophilum is an emerging tick-borne pathogen in the United States, Europe, ...
Effect of blood type on anti-a-Gal immunity and the incidence of infectious diseases
(Nature Publishing Group, 2017-03-10)
The identification of factors affecting the susceptibility to infectious diseases is essential toward reducing their burden on the human population. The ABO blood type correlates with susceptibility to malaria and other ...
Comparative proteomics reveals differences in host-pathogen interaction between infectious and commensal relationship with Campylobacter jejuni
(Frontiers Media, 2017-04-26)
Campylobacter jejuni is the leading food-borne poisoning in industrialized countries. While the bacteria causes disease in humans, it merely colonizes the gut in poultry or pigs, where seems to establish a commensal ...
Host distribution does not limit the range of the tick Ixodes ricinus but impacts the circulation of transmitted pathogens
(Frontiers Media, 2017-10-11)
Ticks, pathogens, and vertebrates interact in a background of environmental features that regulate the densities of ticks and vertebrates, affecting their contact rates and thence the circulation of the pathogens. Regional ...
