Ixodes species ticks are competent vectors of tick-borne viruses including tick-borne encephalitis and Powassan encephalitis.  Tick saliva has been shown to facilitate and enhance viral infection.  This likely occurs by saliva-mediated modulation of host responses into patterns favorable for viral i...
ORGANISM(S): Mus musculus 
Understanding the molecular basis of how the tick adapts to feed on different animal hosts is central to understanding tick and tick-borne disease (TBD) epidemiology. Tick adaptation to feed on vertebrate hosts is regulated by tick secretion of multiple tick saliva proteins (TSPs) and other molecule...

Lyme disease (LD) is one of the most important human vector-borne diseases in North America. Since transmission of Borrelia burgdorferi (Bb), the causative agent of LD, is influenced by yet unknown tick saliva proteins (TSP), the discovery and characterization of such TSPs are highly sought after fo...

The long blood feeding duration of hard ticks relies on the continuous modulation of saliva composition to manipulate host haemostatic and immune systems. While the exogenous muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) agonist, pilocarpine, is a potent inducer of tick salivation, the underlying contro...

Ixodes scapularis is the most medically important tick species and transmits five of the 14 reportable human tick borne diseases (TBD) in the USA. This study describes LC-MS/MS identification of 582 tick- and 83 rabbit proteins in saliva of I. scapularis ticks that fed for 24, 48, 72, 96, and 120h, ...

We developed a new simple method to assess the composition of proteins in the Ornithodoros moubata saliva. To collect naturally expectorated saliva from the ticks, we employed an artificial membrane feeding technique using a simple, chemically defined diet and submitted the collected native saliva s...

In this study, extracellular vesicles were isolated from tick saliva and were analyzed for the presence of proteins. LC-MS/MS identified proteins within tick-derived EVs which may be used by tick in modulating host responses.

In this study, we show for the first time that the tick Haemaphysalis longicornis secretes EVs in saliva that resembles exosomes. EVs were purified from pilocarpine induced saliva of partially engorged H. longicornis ticks. Electron microscopy analysis revealed the presence of exosome-like vesicles ...

Pioneering studies (PXD014844) have identified many interesting molecules by LC-MS/MS proteomics, but the protein databases used to assign mass spectra were based on short Illumina reads of the Amblyomma americanum transcriptome and may not have captured the diversity and complexity of longer transc...

Anti-tick vaccines have proved to be an effective and sustainable method for the control of tick infestations and tick-borne diseases with clear advantages over the application of chemical acaricides (Šmit and Postma, 2016; de la Fuente, 2018; Ndawula and Tabor, 2020). Moreover, the efficacy of acar...
