Our paper describing O. turicata in the Mexican states of Aguascalientes and Zacatecas is now published!! DOI 10.1007/s10493-023-00830-2 congrats @EdwinVazGro & thanks to all our collaborators @JobLopezRF , @AlexKneubehl , @pestradas @krishnavajhala and the rest of the team!


Isolation and genetic characterization of tick-borne relapsing fever spirochetes from #ticks collected by a home in Camayeca, #Mexico. We believe this disease is being misdiagnosed in the Americas #infectiousdisease #publichealth biorxiv.org/content/10.110…


excited to publish an approach to amplify entire tick mitochondrial genomes and sequence them for ~$10/sample. cost effective approach for phylogenetic studies that should be applicable across different taxa. ⁦⁦⁦⁦Good job ⁦@AlexKneubehlnature.com/articles/s4159…


Behind on tweeting but excited to get this manuscript out. Characterization of Immunological Responses to Borrelia Immunogenic Protein A (BipA), a Species-Specific Antigen for North American Tick-Borne Relapsing Fever | Microbiology Spectrum journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/sp…


Enjoying giving a training exercise for the Texas health department this week on collecting soft ticks in Austin parks. It’s also fun working and hanging out with @Budetlanin and @AlexKneubehl in the field. Where’s Waldo?

More evidence of the diversity and distribution of the tick-borne relapsing fever spirochete in densely populated regions of #Texas, but #lymedisease continues to be diagnosed while there’s little epidemiological support for it. journals.plos.org/plosntds/artic…


Really proud of this guy (⁦@AlexKneubehl⁩). He defended his PhD yesterday. He’s put in a lot of hard work and is incredibly bright. Love my group.

Excited to get this paper out showing #Lyme like symptoms for a confirmed case relapsing fever. This is one reason that relapsing fever gets misdiagnosed as Lyme disease. Also indicates the emergence of this pathogen in densely populated areas of #Texas. wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/27…


If someone would have told me that I would graduate a student wearing a mask I would have laughed. Good job, @tickdocPhD on your PhD. Proud of you. #bankrobber or #scientist ?

I have stayed out of politics for a long time. Don’t really like it, but something is off. Let’s pose with beans and pretend a pandemic doesn’t exist. Oh yes, let’s undercut and discredit Dr. Fauci and other scientists while we’re at it.

Over the last month I’ve wondered if vaping could enhance #COVID19 transmission. This article is interesting: Turbulent Gas Clouds and Respiratory Pathogen Emissions: Potential Implications for Reducing Transmission of COVID-19 | Infectious Diseases | JAMA jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/…


This is pretty wild data coming out from South Korea and Italy

Twenty somethings are MAJOR vectors for the virus. Current US protocols won't get them tested but S Korea data shows they are spreading the virus everywhere. It's time for the healthy young adults to stay home and stop spreading the virus. #COVID19 #StayHome

This was a fun project combining some field work with lab work. Got to show evidence of escaped African warthogs reproducing in #Texas. The US now has the perfect set for the emergence of African swine fever virus. We’ve got the ticks and hogs. #ASFV urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https…

The rapid spread is scary. Already surpassed the ~8,000 SARS cases. Based on numbers, case fatality is ~2%, though likely to rise depending on no. in critical care. Very sad & worrriesome when health care workers die. Hoping swift actions will contain this beast. #coronavirus
