Insights into tick-pathogen interactions - a single cell RNA sequencing approach of transcriptional changes during ehrlichial infection

This study uses single-cell RNA sequencing to analyze transcriptional changes in ISE6 tick cells during Ehrlichia muris eauclairensis infection, revealing distinct cell states and time-dependent gene expression patterns.

Behavioral Manipulation of Ixodes scapularis by Ehrlichia muris eauclairensis: Implications for Tick-Borne Disease Transmission

This study shows Ehrlichia muris eauclairensis alters behavior in Ixodes scapularis nymphs, increasing movement speed, bite site-seeking, and feeding duration, with implications for tick-borne disease transmission.

Circulating extracellular vesicles from HIV-1 gp120-treated mice act as endogenous algogens, mediating and maintaining HIV-associated chronic pain

Identification of common sequence motifs shared exclusively among selectively packed exosomal pathogenic microRNAs during rickettsial infections

The paper identifies common sequence motifs shared among specific microRNAs in exosomes from rickettsia-infected cells, linking them to microvasculopathy.
