Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tick-borne disease poses a significant threat to human and domestic animal health. The most common tick-borne disease in the United States is Lyme disease, which is caused by the spirochete bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi. The complex ecologic relationship between habitat, ticks, pathogens, and wildlife hosts has limited the effectiveness of previous vector control strategies. While no single control method has been shown to reduce tick abundance and associated pathogens, targeting multiple aspects of the tick/host/pathogen lifecycle with combinations of interventions may offer a more effective strategy. The purpose of this work is to investigate the impact of long-term integrated tick management on Ixodes scapularis (blacklegged ticks) and hosts in the Upper Midwest, as well as to investigate recombinant poxviruses as wildlife reservoir-targeted vaccine candidates against tick-borne diseases. To determine whether integration of two environmental control strategies is more effective compared to individual treatments at reducing host-seeking blacklegged tick densities, we conducted a five-year small-scale field trial in south central Wisconsin. The deployment of host-targeted acaricides (permethrin-treated cotton) reliably reduced nymph densities a year after deployment but the addition of habitat modification (invasive vegetation removal) did not improve outcomes. Permethrin-treated cotton impact was explained by reductions in tick and host contact. Overall, this treatment combination does not yield improved outcomes within this setting. Reservoir-targeted vaccination offers an intriguing approach to inhibiting tickborne disease transmission, especially in the case of Lyme disease. However, current strategies require repeated dosing in order to achieve protection. To address this concern, we evaluated highly attenuated poxvirus vectors as potential vaccine candidates. Orally administered, recombinant poxviruses induced robust, long-lasting antibody immune responses in Peromyscus leucopus (white-footed mice). With the insertion of multiple B. burgdorferi and I. scapularis genes as part of a multi-target vaccine approach, recombinant poxviruses induced high serum antibody titers with a protective borreliacidal profile in laboratory mice. These studies reveal the utility of recombinant poxviruses as multi-antigen vaccine vectors and provide considerations for future improvement.

Book Synopsis Tick-Host-Pathogen Interactions by : Sarah Irène Bonnet
Download or read book Tick-Host-Pathogen Interactions written by Sarah Irène Bonnet and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2018-08-24 with total page 543 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Besides causing direct damage associated with blood feeding and in some cases through the excretion of toxins with their saliva, the main relevance of ticks lies in the wide variety of pathogens that they can transmit, including viruses, bacteria, protozoa and helminths. Owing to socioeconomic and environmental changes, tick distribution is changing with incursions of ticks and tick-borne diseases occurring in different regions of the world when the widespread deployment of chemical acaricides and repellents has led to the selection of resistance in multiple populations of ticks. New approaches that are environmentally sustainable and that provide broad protection against current and future tick-borne pathogen (TBP) are thus urgently needed. Such development, however, requires improved understanding of factors resulting in vector competence and tick-host-pathogen interactions. This Research Topic provides an overview of known molecular tick-host-pathogen interactions for a number of TBPs and highlights how this knowledge can contribute to novel control and prevention strategies for tick-borne diseases.

Book Synopsis Biology of Ticks by : Daniel E. Sonenshine
Download or read book Biology of Ticks written by Daniel E. Sonenshine and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1991 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the second of a two-volume work on the biology, morphology, ecology, disease relationships, and control of ticks. Volume 2 explores survival strategies of non-nidicolous ticks (those dispersed throughout the open landscape and attacking passing hosts) versus nidicolous ticks (those surviving in caves, burrows, nests, or man-made shelters). It also examines immunological responses to tick parasitism, the role of ticks in disease transmission, and the control of ticks through acaricides and recent innovative approaches using knowledge of tick and host ecology, tick pheromones, hormones, and modelling. An appendix is also included, with details on methods for collecting ticks in the natural environment, preparing ticks for study, and laboratory rearing. This book is a worthy complement to the first volume's outstanding achievement, and will be of interest to entomologists, physicians, veterinarians, and public health officers.

Book Synopsis Area-wide Integrated Pest Management by : Jorge Hendrichs
Download or read book Area-wide Integrated Pest Management written by Jorge Hendrichs and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2021-02-01 with total page 1028 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over 98% of sprayed insecticides and 95% of herbicides reach a destination other than their target species, including non-target species, air, water and soil. The extensive reliance on insecticide use reduces biodiversity, contributes to pollinator decline, destroys habitat, and threatens endangered species. This book offers a more effective application of the Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach, on an area-wide (AW) or population-wide (AW-IPM) basis, which aims at the management of the total population of a pest, involving a coordinated effort over often larger areas. For major livestock pests, vectors of human diseases and pests of high-value crops with low pest tolerance, there are compelling economic reasons for participating in AW-IPM. This new textbook attempts to address various fundamental components of AW-IPM, e.g. the importance of relevant problem-solving research, the need for planning and essential baseline data collection, the significance of integrating adequate tools for appropriate control strategies, and the value of pilot trials, etc. With chapters authored by 184 experts from more than 31 countries, the book includes many technical advances in the areas of genetics, molecular biology, microbiology, resistance management, and social sciences that facilitate the planning and implementing of area-wide strategies. The book is essential reading for the academic and applied research community as well as national and regional government plant and human/animal health authorities with responsibility for protecting plant and human/animal health.
Book Synopsis A Contribution to the Development of Anti-tick Vaccines by : Ard Menzo Nijhof
Download or read book A Contribution to the Development of Anti-tick Vaccines written by Ard Menzo Nijhof and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ticks and tick-borne diseases seriously affect animal and human health worldwide with the highest economic losses occurring in livestock production in the developing world. The control of ticks and the diseases they transmit depends mainly on chemical tick control using acaricides. The development of acaricide resistance, concerns about environmental pollution and pesticide residues in food products result in the need for alternative tick control methods such as anti-tick vaccines. Commercial vaccines based on the recombinant antigen Bm86 have been developed for the control of Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus infestations on cattle. Although they can make an important contribution to an integrated tick control strategy, more efficacious and ideally stand-alone vaccines are required to control multiple tick species in wide geographical areas. There is thus a need for improved vaccine formulations and for the discovery of new tick-protective antigens. This identification of tick-protective antigens is a pivotal step in vaccine development. To study gene function and to identify genes which are important to the tick's function and survival, RNA interference (RNAi) can be a valuable tool. In this thesis, a strategy for gene silencing by RNAi in the one-host tick R. microplus is outlined and a novel RNAi application for the transovarial silencing of genes in ticks is introduced. Subolesin, a protein which was identified as a tick-protective antigen is further characterized and evidence of the role of subolesin in gene expression in ticks is provided. Cross protection of Bm86 vaccines against tick species other than R. microplus has been reported, but Bm86 vaccines do not protect against Rhipicephalus appendiculatus infestations. One possible explanation is the variation in Bm86 expression levels between R. microplus and R. appendiculatus. To measure the Bm86 gene expression in a reliable and accurate manner, normalization of gene expression data against reference gene.
