Yang, T. S., LaDouceur, E. E. B., Baumgartner, W. A., Marr, H. S., Karounos, M., Robertson, J., … Birkenheuer, A. J. (2023, March 23). Ticks and Tick-Borne Diseases, Vol. 14.

By: T. Yang  n, E. LaDouceur, W. Baumgartner *, H. Marr n, M. Karounos n, J. Robertson n , N. Whitehurst n, L. Miller n, A. Birkenheuer n 

MeSH headings : Animals; Humans; Fixatives; Paraffin Embedding; Ixodes; Tick-Borne Diseases
topics (OpenAlex): Vector-borne infectious diseases; Vector-Borne Animal Diseases; Viral Infections and Vectors
TL;DR: A feasible protocol to prepare high quality paraffin-embedded whole tick histology sections is described that uses commonly available tools, reagents and standard histologic equipment and should allow any investigator to easily make adjustments to this protocol as needed based on their experimental goals.

Direct injection of Amblyomma americanum ticks with Cytauxzoon felis

Yang, T. S., Reichard, M. V., Marr, H. S., Cohn, L. A., Nafe, L., Whitehurst, N., & Birkenheuer, A. J. (2021, October 12). Ticks and Tick-Borne Diseases, Vol. 1.

By: T. Yang  n, M. Reichard *, H. Marr n, L. Cohn *, L. Nafe*, N. Whitehurst n, A. Birkenheuer n 

author keywords: Cytauxzoon felis; Direct injection; Tick; In situ hybridization
MeSH headings : Amblyomma; Animals; Cat Diseases / epidemiology; Cats; Felis; Ixodidae / parasitology; Protozoan Infections, Animal / parasitology; Ticks
topics (OpenAlex): Parasite Biology and Host Interactions; Vector-borne infectious diseases; Helminth infection and control
TL;DR: The results suggest that injected C. felis remained alive in ticks but was unable to progress to infective sporozoites after injection, and the potential of using ticks as an alternative model to study C.Felis is demonstrated. (via Semantic Scholar)
