An asymptomatic Babesia infection was confirmed by laboratory diagnoses. The intraerythrocytic
protozoan (designed TW1) isolated from a 51-year-old Taiwanese woman appeared to …

To determine whether the agent of Lyme disease disseminates in vertebrate hosts directly
after deposition by an infecting tick, a 6-mm disk of skin was excised from the sites where …

Performance characteristics and design optimization for industrial‐scale coal‐fired and
natural‐gas‐fired power plant flue gas CO 2 absorption‐stripping systems, using MEA (…

Babesia gibsoni was firstly identified in Rhipicephalus sanguineus ticks infested on dogs in
Asia. A total of 1195 ticks collected from veterinary practitioners and pet clinics were …

The migration of Lyme disease spirochetes (Borrelia burgdorferi) toward salivary gland
extracts (SGEs) of vector ticks was determined by a modified U-tube chemotaxis assay. …

To determine how rapidly Lyme disease spirochetes (Borrelia burgdorferi) can be transmitted
by partially fed vector ticks (Ixodes dammini), attached nymphs were removed from their …

We determined whether the temperature of extrinsic incubation affects the competence of
vector ticks as hosts for Lyme disease spirochetes (Borrelia burgdorferi). Larval Ixodes …

The genetic identity of Ixodes granulatus ticks was determined for the first time in Taiwan.
The phylogenetic relationships were analyzed by comparing the sequences of mitochondrial …

Tick-borne Rickettsia pathogens have become an emerging source of zoonotic infections and
have a major impact on human health worldwide. In this study, the prevalence and genetic …

The prevalence and genetic character of Wolbachia endosymbionts in field-collected Aedes
