    • Prevalence and genotypes of Anaplasma species and habitat suitability for ticks in a Mediterranean ecosystem 

      Torina, Alessandra; Alongi, Angelina; Naranjo, Victoria; Estrada-Pena, Agustin; Vicente, Joaquin; Scimeca, Salvatore; Marino, Anna M. F.; Salina, Felice; Caracappa, Santo; de la Fuente, Jose (American Society for Microbiology, 2008-12)
      Anaplasma species are tick-transmitted pathogens that impact veterinary and human health. Sicily is one of the locations where these pathogens are endemic. Sicily represents a typical Mediterranean ecosystem to study ...

    • Sequence analysis of the msp4 gene of Anaplasma phagocytophilum strains 

      de la Fuente, Jose; Massung, Robert F.; Wong, Susan J.; Chu, Frederick K.; Lutz, Hans; Meli, Marina; von Loewenich, Friederike D.; Grzeszczuk, Anna; Torina, Alessandra; Caracappa, Santo; Mangold, Atilio J.; Naranjo, Victoria; Stuen, Snorre; Kocan, Katherine M. (American Society for Microbiology, 2005-03)
      The causative agent of human granulocytic ehrlichiosis was recently reclassified as Anaplasma phagocytophilum, unifying previously described bacteria that cause disease in humans, horses, dogs, and ruminants. For the ...

    • 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-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 ...
