When clades collide: Genomic admixture in blacklegged ticks (Ixodes scapularis) from the Great Plains

Kaylee S. Herzog, Zach Pella, Halie Smith…·Joseph R. Fauver

This study analyzes genomic admixture in Ixodes scapularis ticks from the Great Plains, finding admixed populations in Nebraska with no B. burgdorferi infection, suggesting genomic factors influence Lyme disease transmission.

Under the radar: differential responses of bed bugs to an entomopathogen, environmental bacteria, and a human pathogen

Hunter K. Walt, Aline Bronzato‐Badial, Sophie E. Maedo…·Federico G. Hoffmann

The paper investigates bed bug immune responses to three bacterial challenges using transcriptomics and phylogenetic analysis, finding differential gene expression patterns and lineage-specific gene duplications.

Do bed bugs transmit human viruses, or do humans transmit bed bug viruses? A worldwide survey of the bed bug RNA virosphere

Hunter K. Walt, Jonas G. King, Johnathan Michael Sheele…·Federico G. Hoffmann

The paper surveys the RNA virosphere of bed bugs globally, identifying known and novel viruses and finding no evidence of bed bugs transmitting human pathogens.
