A proteomics approach for the analysis of hemolymph proteins involved in the immediate defense response of the soft tick, Ornithodoros savignyi Audouin (1827), when challenged with Candida albicans
A proteomics approach was employed to identify proteins secreted into the hemolymph of O. savignyi ticks two hours after immune-challenge with the yeast, Candida albicans. Profiling of the proteins present in hemolymph of unchallenged ticks versus ticks challenged with heat-killed yeast revealed 5 proteins to be differentially expressed. The modulated protein spots were subjected to tandem mass...
متن کاملThe use of red cell antigens for timing break-down of erythrocytes during digestion in Ornithodoros savignyi (Audouin, 1827).
The feeding and digestive processes in argasids (tampans) differ from those in the ixodids in that the tampans take up a large amount of blood in a short time. A high concentration of blood proteins is soon attained since the argasids discharge a large volume of watery fluid from the coxal organ either during or shortly after a meal. Few references could be found in the literature about the tim...
متن کاملOrnithodoros (Alectorobius) capensis Neumann (Acari: Ixodoidea: Argasidae), a parasite of seabirds, established along the southeastern seacoast of the United States.
Ornithodoros (Alectorobius) capensis Neumann, an ectoparasite of seabirds found circumglobally in the tropics and subtropics, has become established along the southeastern seacoast of the United States. The tick has been found feeding primarily on brown pelicans, Pelecanus occidentalis, but also has been found on the laughing gull, Larus atricilla, and the American oystercatcher, Haematopus pal...
متن کاملDetection of human blood in the bat tick Carios (Ornithodoros) kelleyi (Acari: Argasidae) in Iowa.
The argasid tick Carios (Ornithodoros) kelleyi Cooley & Kohls is a common ectoparasite of bats and has been found in massive numbers in homes with associated bat colonies in eastern Iowa. This tick feeds nearly exclusively on bats in nature. Several inhabitants of infested homes complained of "bug bites" at night while asleep that may have resulted in erythematous, edematous, urticaric skin les...
متن کاملGenetic characteristics of Borrelia coriaceae isolates from the soft tick Ornithodoros coriaceus (Acari: Argasidae).
Two Borrelia isolates (CA434 and CA435) cultured from the soft tick Ornithodoros coriaceus were analyzed by contour-clamped homogeneous electric field gel electrophoresis of unrestricted and ApaI-restricted DNA, standard electrophoresis of BamHI- and HindIII-restricted DNA, Southern hybridization, restriction fragment length polymorphism and sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene, and amplification of...
