Last week I had the opportunity to share my research in North Carolina at the Annual American Society for Rickettsiology Meeting. I enjoyed hearing about the current research in the field and connecting with a great community of scientists!

Washington State University researchers have discovered how the bacteria that cause anaplasmosis and Lyme disease hijack cellular processes in ticks to ensure their survival and spread to new hosts, including humans.

Bacteria hijack tick cell defenses to spread disease
Discovery by WSU researchers may help develop ways of eliminating the infectious bacteria in ticks before they spread to humans.

The Tiny Thieves Inside Every Tick Bite
Every summer, millions of Americans venture into tall grass and wooded trails, unknowingly walking into microscopic crime scenes. Inside the ticks waiting in that vegetation, bacteria are pulling off one of nature's most elegant heists—turning their hosts' own cellular machinery into accomplices. New research reveals exactly how the microbes behind Lyme disease and anaplasmosis hijack tick biology to fuel their spread.

Very happy to share the latest preprint from my lab led by Kaylee Vosbigian

! We found that Anaplasma activates the ATF6 branch of the unfolded protein response in Ixodes ticks to facilitate cholesterol uptake for growth and survival.
