      Contreras, Marinela; Alberdi, Pilar; Mateos-Hernandez, Lourdes; Fernandez de Mera, Isabel G.; Garcia-Perez, Ana L.; Vancova, Marie; Villar, Margarita; Ayllon, Nieves; Cabezas-Cruz, Alejandro; Valdes, James J.; Stuen, Snorre; Gortazar, Christian; de la Fuente, Jose (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 ...
    • 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 ...
    • 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. ...
