Sylvatic infestation of Oklahoma reptiles with immature Ixodes scapularis (Acari: Ixodidae)
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2015-09)
Reptiles were collected in nine counties in Oklahoma from September 2002 to May 2004 and examined for Ixodes scapularis (Say) larvae and nymphs to determine seasonal incidence and prevalence of these ticks. In total, 209 ...
Vector-borne diseases of small companion animals in Namibia: Literature review, knowledge gaps and opportunity for a One Health approach
(AOSIS, 2015-11-06)
Namibia has a rich history in veterinary health but little is known about the vector-borne diseases that affect companion dogs and cats. The aim of this review is to summarise the existing published and available unpublished ...
Effect of two commercial herbicides on life history traits of a human disease vector, Aedes aegypti, in the laboratory setting
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2016-03-10)
Some mosquito species utilize the small niches of water that are abundant in farmland habitats. These niches are susceptible to effects from agricultural pesticides, many of which are applied aerially over large tracts of ...
Prevalence of Babesia spp., Ehrlichia spp., and tick infestations in Oklahoma black bears (Ursus americanus)
(Wildlife Disease Association, 2017-10)
American black bears (Ursus americanus) are commonly infested with ticks throughout their range, but there are few surveys for tick-borne disease agents in bears. To characterize tick infestations and determine the prevalence ...
Differences in mosquito communities in six cities in Oklahoma
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2019-04-05)
Vector-borne diseases in the United States have recently increased as a result of the changing nature of vectors, hosts, reservoirs, pathogens, and the ecological and environmental conditions. Current information on vector ...
Quantitative synthesis of the role of birds in carrying ticks and tick-borne pathogens in North America
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2016-09-26)
Birds play a central role in the ecology of tick-borne pathogens. They expand tick populations and pathogens across vast distances and serve as reservoirs that maintain and amplify transmission locally. Research into the ...
Recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) with lateral flow detection for three Anaplasma species of importance to livestock health
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2021)
Anaplasma marginale, A. ovis, and A. phagocytophilum are the causative agents of bovine anaplasmosis, ovine anaplasmosis, and granulocytic anaplasmosis, respectively. The gold standard for diagnosis of post-acute and ...
Mosquito-borne parasites in the Great Plains: Searching for vectors of nematodes and avian malaria parasites
(Elsevier BV, 2021)
Vector-borne diseases in the United States have recently increased as a result of the changing nature of vectors, hosts, reservoirs, parasite/pathogens, and the ecological and environmental conditions. While most focus has ...
Ingestion of Plasmodium falciparum sporozoites during transmission by anopheline mosquitoes
(American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1992)
We investigated the process of sporozoite transmission during blood feeding for Anopheles gambiae and An. stephensi experimentally infected with Plasmodium falciparum. When infective mosquitoes were fed 22-25 days postinfection ...
Mosquito ingestion of antibodies against mosquito midgut microbiota improves conversion of ookinetes to oocysts for Plasmodium falciparum, but not P. yoelii
(Elsevier BV, 2011-07-13)
The mosquito midgut is a site of complex interactions between the mosquito, the malaria parasite and the resident bacterial flora. In laboratory experiments, we observed significant enhancement of Plasmodium falciparum ...
