Observations on Questing Activity of Adult Ixodes brunneus Koch (Acari: Ixodidae) in MississippiJerome Goddard
Department of Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Entomology, and Plant Pathology, 100 Twelve Lane, Clay Lyle Entomology, Mississippi State University, Mississippi State, Mississippi 39762 Correspondence should be sent to
J Parasitol 99:346-9. 2013..brunneus quests at ground level; however, laboratory simulations revealed that although the average height climbed was below 40 mm, they sometimes climb artificial stems to greater heights (approximately 50 mm in 4 instances)...
Artificial infection of the bed bug with Rickettsia parkeriJerome Goddard
Department of Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Entomology and Plant Pathology, 100 Twelve Ln, Clay Lyle Entomology Building, Mississippi State University, Mississippi State, MS 39762, USA
J Med Entomol 49:922-6. 2012..parkeri-specific primers. These IFA and PCR results indicate that remnants of Rickettsia parkeri (possibly whole organisms) survived in the bugs for 2 wk, but the viability of the organisms in these two specimens could not be determined...
Bed bugs (Cimex lectularius) and clinical consequences of their bitesJerome Goddard
Department of Entomology and Plant Pathology, Mississippi State University, Box 9775, Mississippi State, MS 39762, USA
JAMA 301:1358-66. 2009..Health consequences include nuisance biting and cutaneous and systemic reactions. The potential for bed bugs to serve as disease vectors and optimal methods for bed bug pest control and eradication are unclear...
Psychological effects of bed bug attacks (Cimex lectularius L.)Jerome Goddard
Department of Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Entomology, and Plant Pathology, Mississippi State University, MS 39762, USA
Am J Med 125:101-3. 2012..These symptoms are suggestive of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD)...
Gotch ear in a goat: a case reportKristine T Edwards
Department of Entomology and Plant Pathology, College of Veterinary Medicine, Mississippi State University, Mississippi State, Mississippi 39762, USA
Vector Borne Zoonotic Dis 11:1217-9. 2011..This report represents the first apparent case of gotch ear in a goat...
Distribution of spotted fever group rickettsiae in select tissues of experimentally infected and field-collected Gulf Coast ticksKristine T Edwards
Department of Entomology and Plant Pathology, Mississippi State University, Mississippi State, MS 39762, USA
J Med Entomol 48:687-90. 2011..Of those, SFGR were detected by IFA in 80% of the salivary glands, 67% of the ovaries, and 60% in the midgut and Malpighian tubules. This is the first study to assess the distribution of SFGR in select tissues of A. maculatum ticks...
Experimental infection of cotton rats and bobwhite quail with Rickettsia parkeriGail Miriam Moraru
Department of Basic Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine, Mississippi State University, Wise Center, Spring Street, Mississippi State, MS 39762, USA
Parasit Vectors 6:70. 2013..Cotton rats and quail are known hosts for larval and nymphal A. maculatum; however, the role of these hosts in the ecology of R. parkeri is unknown...
Bed bug saliva causes release of monocytic inflammatory mediators: plausible cause of cutaneous bite reactionsJerome Goddard
Department of Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Entomology and Plant Pathology, Mississippi State University, Mississippi State, Miss, USA
Int Arch Allergy Immunol 161:127-30. 2013..Saliva of bed bugs contains protein and non-protein molecules that have pleotropic effects on macrophages, orchestrating the immune response in the skin after bed bug bites...
Evidence of antibodies to spotted fever group rickettsiae in small mammals and quail from MississippiGail Miriam Moraru
Department of Basic Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine, Mississippi State University, Mississippi State, Mississippi 39762, USA
Vector Borne Zoonotic Dis 13:1-5. 2013..Detection of seropositive rodents and quail suggests a role for these host species in the natural history of SFGR, possibly including R. parkeri, but the extent of their role has not yet been elucidated...
Cattle and the natural history of Rickettsia parkeri in MississippiKristine T Edwards
Department of Entomology and Plant Pathology, Mississippi State University, Mississippi State, MS 39762, USA
Vector Borne Zoonotic Dis 11:485-91. 2011..Cattle may play a role in the natural history of R. parkeri infection by expanding populations of A. maculatum and transporting R. parkeri-infected ticks to various locations, rather than as a reservoir for R. parkeri...
