“…Alpha-Gal Syndrome (AGS) is an IgE-mediated delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction to the oligosaccharide galactose-α-1, 3-galactose (α-gal) injected into humans from the lone-star tick (Amblyomma americanum) bite. Indeed, α-gal is discovered in salivary glands of lone-star tick; however, the tick’s specific intrinsic factors involved in endogenous α-gal production and presentation to host during hematophagy are poorly understood. …”

“…In this study, we tested whether conservation wildflower plantings enhanced the on-farm abundance of the lone star tick, Amblyomma americanum (L.). Over two years, A. americanum were sampled using dry ice traps in wildflower plots, weedy field margins, and forested areas. …”

“…The α-gal antigen was discovered in the salivary glands and saliva of various tick species including, the Lone Star tick (Amblyomma americanum). The underlying immune mechanisms linking tick bites with α-gal-specific IgE production are poorly understood and are crucial to identify and establish novel treatments for this disease. …”

“…Two closely related zoonotic ehrlichiae, Ehrlichia chaffeensis and E. ewingii, are transmitted by Amblyomma americanum, the lone star tick. Because white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) are critical hosts for all mobile stages of A. americanum and are important vertebrate reservoirs of E. chaffeensis, we investigated whether deer may be infected with E. ewingii, a cause of granulocytotropic ehrlichiosis in humans and dogs. …”

The minimum effective doses (MEDs) of the Am and As EOs against mosquitoes were 0.187 ± 0.000 and 0.312 ± 0.063 mg/cm(2) respectively, which were significantly higher than that of DEET (0.023 ± 0.000 mg/cm(2)) in human-based repellent bioassays. …”
