Allopatric speciation in ticks: Genetic and reproductive divergence between geographic strains of Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus
Labruna, Marcelo B.; Naranjo, Victoria; Mangold, Atilio J.; Thompson, Carolina; Estrada-Pena, Agustin; Guglielmone, Alberto A.; Jongejan, Frans; de la Fuente, Jose (BioMed Central, 2009-02-25)Background: The cattle tick, Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus, economically impact cattle industry in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. The morphological and genetic differences among R. microplus strains ... -
Evidence of the role of tick subolesin in gene expression
de la Fuente, Jose; Maritz-Olivier, Christine; Naranjo, Victoria; Ayoubi, Patricia; Nijhof, Ard M.; Almazan, Consuelo; Canales, Mario; Perez de la Lastra, Jose M.; Galindo, Ruth C.; Blouin, Edmour F.; Gortazar, Christian; Jongejan, Frans; Kocan, Katherine M. (BioMed Central, 2008-08-02)Background: Subolesin is an evolutionary conserved protein that was discovered recently in Ixodes scapularis as a tick protective antigen and has a role in tick blood digestion, reproduction and development. In other ... -
Expression of recombinant Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus, R. annulatus and R. decoloratus Bm86 orthologs as secreted proteins in Pichia pastoris
Canales, Mario; Perez de la Lastra, Jose M.; Naranjo, Victoria; Nijhof, Ard M.; Hope, Michelle; Jongejan, Frans; de la Fuente, Jose (BioMed Central, 2008-02-14)Background: Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) spp. ticks economically impact on cattle production in Africa and other tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Tick vaccines constitute a cost-effective and environmentally ... -
Phylogeographic analysis reveals association of tick-borne pathogen, Anaplasma marginale, MSP1a sequences with ecological traits affecting tick vector performance
Estrada-Pena, Agustin; Naranjo, Victoria; Acevedo-Whitehouse, Karina; Mangold, Atilio J.; Kocan, Katherine M.; de la Fuente, Jose (BioMed Central, 2009-09-01)Background: The tick-borne pathogen Anaplasma marginale, which is endemic worldwide, is the type species of the genus Anaplasma (Rickettsiales: Anaplasmataceae). Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus is the most important ... -
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 ... -
Silencing of genes involved in Anaplasma marginale-tick interactions affects the pathogen developmental cycle in Dermacentor variabilis
Kocan, Katherine M.; Zivkovic, Zorica; Blouin, Edmour F.; Naranjo, Victoria; Almazan, Consuelo; Mitra, Ruchira; de la Fuente, Jose (BioMed Central, 2009-07-16)Background: The cattle pathogen, Anaplasma marginale, undergoes a developmental cycle in ticks that begins in gut cells. Transmission to cattle occurs from salivary glands during a second tick feeding. At each site of ... -
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. ...
