| a seed tick infestation of the conjunctiva: amblyomma americanum larva. | ticks commonly infest humans but rarely bite the eyes. they are vectors of disease; therefore, rapid and complete removal is important. their attachment can be so secure that removal is difficult or hazardous. we excised a larval form of amblyomma americanum from a woodsman's conjunctiva. | 1987 | 3566026 |
| comparison of rates of infection by the lyme disease spirochete in selected populations of ixodes dammini and amblyomma americanum (acari: ixodidae). | at a major endemic focus in new jersey, 50% of 290 adult ixodes dammini collected in the fall of 1984 were infected with the lyme disease spirochete (borrelia burgdorferi), which was statistically higher than the rate found in the 202 adult ticks (39.6%) examined during the spring. neither sex nor site of collection within the focus significantly affected the infection rate. the observed infection rates were similar to those reported in endemic areas of new york and connecticut. borrelia burgdor ... | 1986 | 3577494 |
| amblyomma americanum: physiochemical isolation of a protein derived from the tick salivary gland that is capable of inducing immune resistance in guinea pigs. | crude salivary gland derived proteins from amblyomma americanum ticks were analyzed by physiochemical (gel filtration and ion exchange chromatography) and immunochemical guinea pig igg1 (anti-tick immunoaffinity column) techniques for the presence of antigens responsible for the induction of host immune resistance responses. gel filtration (g-75 sephadex) and ion exchange (diethyl aminoethyl cellulose) chromatography of crude salivary gland antigen yielded multiple fractions, but only one fracti ... | 1986 | 3720900 |

| surveillance of lyme disease in the united states, 1982. | lyme disease is a tick-borne illness that has been reported from three regions in the united states--the northeast, midwest, and west--which correspond to the distribution of the recognized vectors of the disease, ixodes dammini and ixodes pacificus. in 1982, a surveillance system designed to define the morbidity and geographic distribution for lyme disease by using a clinical case definition received information on 491 definite cases and 38 probable cases. of the definite cases, 489 were acquir ... | 1985 | 3998509 |
| acquisition and expression of resistance by bos indicus and bos indicus x bos taurus calves to amblyomma americanum infestation. | purebred and crossbred bos indicus calves were infested 1, 2, or 3 times with 10 female and 5 male amblyomma americanum. resistance was acquired by both the purebred and the crossbred calves after 1 infestation and resulted in statistically significant decreases in the percentages of females that engorged, the mean weights of engorged females, and the mean weights of egg masses. comparisons between breeds of the percent of female ticks that engorged during the first and second infestations indic ... | 1985 | 3998956 |
| evaluation of five popular methods for tick removal. | five methods commonly advocated for tick removal from a human or domestic animal were evaluated. the application of petroleum jelly, fingernail polish, 70% isopropyl alcohol, or a hot kitchen match failed to induce detachment of adult american dog ticks (dermacentor variabilis say) attached for either 12 to 15 hours or three to four days. use of forceps or protected fingers enabled satisfactory removal of 29 adult american dog ticks without leaving the mouthparts or attachment cement in the host ... | 1985 | 4000801 |

| rickettsia-like organisms in ticks and antibodies to spotted fever-group rickettsiae in mammals from northern mississippi. | studies were conducted from april through august during 1974 and 1975 on 30 randomly selected trapping sites in wall doxey state park, holly springs national forest, and 1.6 km south of the park in marshall county, mississippi to provide information on the occurrence of ticks involved in the maintenance and transmission of spotted fever-group rickettsiae in nature. of 365 animals (14 species) collected, 186 (51%) were parasitized by 4,169 ticks. species of ticks collected included: dermacentor v ... | 1985 | 3923212 |
| rejection of ticks from guinea pigs by anti-hapten-antibody-mediated degranulation of basophils at cutaneous basophil hypersensitivity sites: role of mediators other than histamine. | previous studies have established that recruitment of basophils to sites of tick feeding in guinea pigs is required to effect immune resistance. in the current study, actively sensitized guinea pigs treated three times daily with h-1 (mepyramine) and h-2 (cimetidine) histamine receptor antagonists, during the challenge tick infestation period, expressed normal resistance to amblyomma americanum larvae. similarly, naive guinea pigs treated with anti-histamines four times daily, beginning 7 days b ... | 1985 | 2578152 |
| adenosine-3',5'-monophosphate in salivary glands of unfed and feeding female lone star ticks, amblyomma americanum (l.). | basal levels of camp in salivary glands of female lone star ticks were found to be about 5 pmoles/mg protein during all stages of feeding. glands stimulated with 10(-5)m dopamine and 10(-5)m dopamine plus theophylline exhibited significant increases in camp/mg protein. after stimulation by 10(-5)m dopamine was removed, camp decreased faster in glands from slowly feeding ticks (less than 200 mg) than in glands of rapidly feeding ticks (greater than 200 mg). | 1984 | 6149877 |

| ticks on white-tailed deer fawns from southern illinois. | seventy-six white-tailed deer (odocoileus virginianus (zimmermann] fawns captured on crab orchard national wildlife refuge in southern illinois during june-july 1980-1983 were aged and examined for ticks. the prevalence of ticks (amblyomma americanum (linnaeus, 1758) and dermacentor variabilis (say, 1821] was 80%; intensity of infestation ranged from one to 123 ticks per fawn, averaging 21.6. tick intensity correlated poorly with age suggesting that there were other, more important determinants ... | 1984 | 6530716 |
| bovine resistance to amblyomma americanum ticks: an acquired immune response characterized by cutaneous basophil infiltrates. | purebred holstein calves acquired resistance to amblyomma americanum adult ticks after 1 infestation and expressed resistance during a challenge infestation 26 days later. tick yields from resistant animals were normal, but mean tick weight and egg-mass weight were reduced significantly (31 and 32%, respectively). cutaneous cellular responses at tick feeding sites in primary (naive) hosts consisted almost exclusively of mononuclear cells, until 24-h post-infestation when granulocytes appeared. a ... | 1984 | 6543047 |
| effect of host age on the expression of acquired resistance to ticks. | young guinea-pigs (350 g) expressed significantly greater levels of acquired resistance to challenge by larval amblyomma americanum ticks than older guinea-pigs (520-800 g). this finding suggests that younger guinea-pigs are immunologically more responsive to tick infestation than older mature individuals. therefore, host age is an important variable in evaluating acquired resistance to ticks. | 1984 | 6698176 |
| amblyomma americanum: a potential vector of lyme disease in new jersey. | amblyomma americanum is a likely secondary vector of lyme disease in new jersey. ticks of this species were removed from the site of the characteristic skin lesion known as erythema chronicum migrans on two patients with the disease, and the lyme disease spirochete was isolated from nymphs and adults of this species. that a. americanum is a potential vector is supported by its similarities to ixodes dammini, the known tick vector, in seasonal distribution and host utilization. the extensive rang ... | 1984 | 6710158 |
| ixodid ticks on feral swine in florida. | more than 99% of the 645 feral swine (sus scrofa l.) in southern florida harbored ixodid ticks. dermacentor variabilis (american dog tick) was present on 99.6% of the swine and comprised 82.5% of the ticks collected. amblyomma maculatum (gulf coast tick) occurred on 85.9% of the hosts and 17.4% of the collections were of this species. amblyomma americanum (lone star tick) and ixodes scapularis (black-legged tick) were found infrequently and together constituted less than 0.1% of the ticks. pigs ... | 1984 | 6737605 |

| blood eosinophil and basophil responses in guinea pigs parasitized by amblyomma americanum ticks. | guinea pigs sensitized to tick feeding by a previous infestation express immune resistance when challenged. this state is associated with large accumulations of eosinophils, and especially of basophils, at cutaneous sites of tick feeding. the present study shows that primary and secondary tick feeding stimulate blood eosinophilia and basophilia that reflect the infiltration of these cells in the skin. primary feeding of amblyomma americanum larvae resulted in a mean tick yield of 81%, mean tick ... | 1982 | 7081550 |
| ablation of immunity to amblyomma americanum by anti-basophil serum: cooperation between basophils and eosinophils in expression of immunity to ectoparasites (ticks) in guinea pigs. | basophils infiltrate the skin and other tissues as part of t lymphocyte and/or antibody-mediated immune responses to certain protein antigens, viruses, tumors, and parasites. although basophils may comprise a significant fraction of leukocytes in these reactions, their precise role has been poorly understood. guinea pigs expressing acquired immunity to the tick amblyomma americanum develop basophil- and eosinophil-rich cutaneous inflammatory responses at tick feeding sites, and tick rejection is ... | 1982 | 7086142 |

| distribution and prevalence of spotted fever group rickettsiae in ticks from south carolina, with an epidemiological survey of persons bitten by infected ticks. | live ticks removed from human hosts were tested for the presence of spotted fever group rickettsiae from 1974 through 1976. spotted fever group rickettsiae were detected in dermacentor variabilis, amblyomma americanum, amblyomma maculatum, and ixodes scapularis. persons from whom positive ticks were removed in 1974 and 1975 were questioned about ensuing illness. eleven of 51 persons from whom rickettsia-positive d. variabilis were removed reported some unexplained combination of symptoms compati ... | 1978 | 103448 |
| the relationship of phosphodiesterase and cyclic amp to the process of fluid secretion in the salivary glands of the ixodid tick amblyomma americanum. | phosphodiesterase (pde) activity in the salivary glands of the female. amblyomma americanum decreased as the tick progressed from a slow to a rapid phase of feeding, while the rate of fluid secretion increased when glands were stimulated with cyclic amp and theophylline. dopamine stimulated pde activity and an 'inhibitory' factor was found in glands obtained from rapidly engorging ticks which decreased pde activity. these findings are discussed as they relate to the process of fluid secretion by ... | 1978 | 212286 |
