Seasonal and Gender Differences in Presence of Rickettsia felis and Blood meals Provide Additional Evidence of a Vector Role for Mosquitoes by Jilei Zhang, Guangwu Lu, Patrick John Kelly, Chengming Wang

“…Furthermore, we compared the prevalence of Rickettsia and blood meal in the mosquitoes collected in the months with temperature below and above 23°C, the minimum temperature required for mosquito egg hatching. Mosquitoes captured in the months below 23°C showed significant higher positivity of R. felis(71/936, 7.6% vs. 8/368, 2.2%; P=0.002) and blood meal (294/936, 31.4% vs. 36/368, 9.8%; P<10−4) than in the months above 23°C. …”

The Schistosoma mansoni tegumental-allergen-like (TAL) protein family: influence of developmental expression on human IgE responses. by Colin M Fitzsimmons, Frances M Jones, Alex Stearn, Iain W Chalmers, Karl F Hoffmann, Jakub Wawrzyniak, Shona Wilson, Narcis B Kabatereine, David W Dunne

“…<h4>Conclusions</h4>We have not measured SmTAL protein abundance or exposure in live parasites, but the antibody data suggests to us that, in endemic areas, there is priming and boosting of IgE to adult-worm SmTALs by occasional death of long-lived worms, desensitization to egg SmTALs through continuous exposure to dying eggs and low immunogenicity of larval SmTALs due to immunosuppression in the skin by the parasite. …”
