    • Subolesin expression in response to pathogen infection in ticks 

      Zivkovic, Zorica; Torina, Alessandra; Mitra, Ruchira; Alongi, Angela; Scimeca, Salvatore; Kocan, Katherine M.; Almazan, Consuelo; Blouin, Edmour F.; Villar, Margarita; Nijhof, Ard M.; Mani, Rinosh; La Barbera, Giuseppa; Caracappa, Santo; Jongejan, Frans; de la Fuente, Jose (BioMed Central, 2010-02-19)
      Background: Ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) are vectors of pathogens worldwide that cause diseases in humans and animals. Ticks and pathogens have co-evolved molecular mechanisms that contribute to their mutual development and ...

    • Tick genome assembled: New opportunities for research on tick-host-pathogen interactions 

      de la Fuente, Jose; Waterhouse, Robert M.; Sonenshine, Daniel E.; Roe, R. Michael; Ribeiro, Jose M.; Sattelle, David B.; Hill, Catherine A. (Frontiers Media, 2016-09-15)
      As tick-borne diseases are on the rise, an international effort resulted in the sequence and assembly of the first genome of a tick vector. This result promotes research on comparative, functional and evolutionary genomics ...

    • Tick vaccines and the control of tick-borne pathogens 

      Merino, Octavio; Alberdi, Pilar; Perez de la Lastra, Jose M.; de la Fuente, Jose (Frontiers Media, 2013-07-09)
      Ticks are obligate hematophagous ectoparasites that transmit a wide variety of pathogens to humans and animals. The incidence of tick-borne diseases has increased worldwide in both humans and domestic animals over the past ...

    • Tick-pathogen interactions and vector competence: Identification of molecular drivers for tick-borne diseases 

      de la Fuente, Jose; Antunes, Sandra; Bonnet, Sarah; Cabezas-Cruz, Alejandro; Domingos, Ana G.; Estrada-Pena, Agustin; Johnson, Nicholas; Kocan, Katherine M.; Mansfield, Karen L.; Nijhof, Ard M.; Papa, Anna; Rudenko, Nataliia; Villar, Margarita; Alberdi, Pilar; Torina, Alessandra; Ayllon, Nieves; Vancova, Marie; Golovchenko, Maryna; Grubhoffer, Libor; Caracappa, Santo; Fooks, Anthony R.; Gortazar, Christian; Rego, Ryan O. M. (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 ...

    • Tissue-specific signatures in the transcriptional response to Anaplasma phagocytophilum infection of Ixodes scapularis and Ixodes ricinus tick cell lines 

      Alberdi, Pilar; Mansfield, Karen L.; Manzano-Roman, Raul; Cook, Charlotte; Ayllon, Nieves; Villar, Margarita; Johnson, Nicholas; Fooks, Anthony R.; de la Fuente, Jose (Frontiers Media, 2016-02-10)
      Anaplasma phagocytophilum are transmitted by Ixodes spp. ticks and have become one of the most common and relevant tick-borne pathogens due to their impact on human and animal health. Recent results have increased our ...

    • Vaccination with recombinant Boophilus annulatus Bm86 ortholog protein, Ba86, protects cattle against B. annulatus and B. microplus infestations 

      Canales, Mario; Almazan, Consuelo; Naranjo, Victoria; Jongejan, Frans; de la Fuente, Jose (BioMed Central, 2009-03-31)
      Background: The cattle ticks, Boophilus spp., affect cattle production in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Tick vaccines constitute a cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative to tick control. ...

    • Vaccinomics approach to the identification of candidate protective antigens for the control of tick vector infestations and Anaplasma phagocytophilum infection 

      Contreras, Marinela; Alberdi, Pilar; Fernandez de Mera, Isabel G.; Krull, Christoph; Nijhof, Ard; Villar, Margarita; de la Fuente, Jose (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. ...
