Here, we reveal that pathogen spreading from arthropods to the mammalian host is multifaceted. Extracellular vesicles from Ixodes scapularis enable tick feeding and promote infection of the mildly virulent rickettsial agent Anaplasma phagocyto- philum through the SNARE proteins Vamp33 and Synaptobrevin 2 and dendritic epidermal T cells. However, extracellular vesicles from the tick Dermacentor andersoni mitigate microbial spreading caused by the lethal pathogen Francisella tularensis. Collectively, we establish that tick extracellular vesicles foster distinct outcomes of bacterial infection and assist in vector feeding by acting on skin immunity. Thus, the biology of arthropods should be taken into consideration when developing strategies to control vector-borne diseases. 1 Department of Microbiology and Immunology, University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD, USA. 2 Department of Dermatology, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD, USA. 3 Department of Medical Microbiology and Immunology, University of Toledo College of Medicine and Life Sciences, Toledo, OH, USA. 4 Center for Vaccine Development and Global Health, University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD, USA. 5 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, GA, USA. 6 Department of Pathology, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Bronx, NY, USA. 7 Section of Infectious Diseases, Department of Internal Medicine, Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, CT, USA. 8 USDA, ARS, Animal Disease Research Unit, Washington State University, Pullman, WA, USA. 9 Vector Molecular Biology Section, Laboratory of Malaria and Vector Research, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, National Institutes of Health, Rockville, MD, USA. 10 Department of Biological Sciences, Old Dominion University, Norfolk, VA, USA. 11 Department of Veterinary Medicine, University of Maryland, College Park, MD, USA. 12 Department of Pediatrics, University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD, USA. 13 Department of Medicine, University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD, USA. 14 Institute of Parasitology, Biology Center of the Czech Academy of Sciences, Ceske Budejovice, Czech Republic. 15 Fischell Department of Bioengineering, University of Maryland, College Park, MD, USA. 16 Immunology, Janssen Research and Development, Spring House, PA, USA. 17 Department of Microbiology and Immunology, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Bronx, NY, USA. 18Present address: Department of Entomology, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX, USA. 19Present address: Excerpta Medica, Doylestown, PA, USA. 20Present address: Department of Veterinary Microbiology and Pathology, Washington State University, Pullman, WA, USA. 21Present address: Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, Office of Pharmaceutical Quality, Office of Process and Facilities, Division of Microbiology Assessment, Microbiology Assessment Branch III, U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Silver Spring, MD, USA. 22Present address: Department of Radiation Oncology and Physiology and Biophysics, Englander Institute for Precision Medicine, Weill Cornell Medicine, New York, ✉ NY, USA. 23Present address: USDA, ARS, Invasive Insect Biocontrol and Behavior Laboratory, Beltsville, MD, USA. email: [email protected] NATURE COMMUNICATIONS | (2021) 12:3696 | https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-021-23900-8 | www.nature.com/naturecommunications 1 ARTICLE NATURE COMMUNICATIONS | https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-021-23900-8 rthropod vectors transmit a diverse portfolio of bacterial, shown by transmission electron microscopy (Fig. 1a).

E-mail: [email protected] 2Section of Ecology, University of Turku, 20014 Turku, Finland. E-mail: [email protected] 3Corresponding author Abstract Nemophora acaciae sp. nov. is described from Kenya on the basis of a large series bred from flowers of Acacia seyal and A. lahai. The new species differs from all Afrotropical Nemophora species by its dark brown forewing fascia with white medial stripe near the costal margin of forewing. The key to the Afrotropical Nemophora species is provided. Key words: Acacia lahai, Acacia seyal, Afrotropical region, biology, flowers, new species Introduction Adelidae are small archaic (monotrysian) moths, whose males, with the exception of the genus Cauchas Zeller, 1839 have conspicuous long antennae. The family includes nearly 300 species worldwide (van Nieukerken et al. 2011), about 90 of which were described from the Afrotropical region (De Prins & De Prins 2015). The majority of Afrotropical species of Adelidae belongs to the genus Ceromitia Zeller, 1852 (subfamily Nematopogoninae), while metallic-coloured day-flying adelids (subfamily Adelinae) include 2−4 species of the genus Adela Latreille, 1796 (taxonomic positions of two species remain uncertain) and 7 species of the genus Nemophora Hoffmannsegg, 1798.

Pedra1 1 Department of Microbiology and Immunology, University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD, USA, 2 Department of Entomology, University of Minnesota, Saint Paul, MN, USA Ticks transmit a variety of human pathogens, including Borrelia burgdorferi, the etiological agent of Lyme disease. Multiple pathogens that are transmitted simultaneously, termed “coinfections,” are of increasing importance and can affect disease outcome in a host. Arthropod immunity is central to pathogen acquisition and transmission by the tick. Pattern recognition receptors recognize pathogen-associated molecular patterns and induce humoral responses through the Toll and Immune Deficiency (IMD) pathways. Comparative analyses between insects and ticks reveal that while the Toll pathway is conserved, the IMD network exhibits a high degree of variability. This indicates that major differences in humoral immunity exist between insects and ticks. While many variables can affect immunity, one of the major forces that shape Edited by: immune outcomes is the microbiota. In light of this, we discuss how the presence Melissa Jo Caimano, of commensal bacteria, symbionts and/or coinfections can lead to altered immune University of Connecticut Health Center, USA responses in the tick that impact pathogen persistence and subsequent transmission.

  • Identification of Micro-Moth Families
    Identification of micro-moth families Introduction This guide is intended for use by Garden Moth Scheme (GMS) recorders and other British and Irish moth enthusiasts. It is aimed at those who already have some understanding of moth taxonomy and morphology but struggle to easily home-in on which moth family a micro- moth belongs to. For further information about how to start out moth- trapping see www.gardenmoths.org.uk. There are currently over 1600 British and Irish micro-moth species, compared to around 800 species of macro-moth and 60 species of butterfly, so species identification is particularly challenging. Narrowing down identification to species requires additional information from training courses, websites and field guides. This guide shows photographs of 45 micro-moth families at rest, together with identification tips, similar species, and the number of species in that family. Taxonomists disagree on the order and arrangement of families, but this guide follows the numbering system of Bradley and Fletcher (B&F) wherever possible. The guide is intended to be used with the excellent Field Guide to the Micromoths of Great Britain and Ireland by Sterling, Parsons and Lewington, British Wildlife Publishing (2012, SPL), which covers 1000+ micro-moth species. However, for the uninitiated, facing a light trap full of micro-moths starting from scratch with SPL can be both daunting and time-consuming. Family names are different and are shown in a different order in SPL and B&F, so in order to reduce confusion, after the B&F numbers are quoted for each family the page numbers for the plates in SPL are also given.

  • A Conservation Blueprint
    A Conservation Blueprint: An Assessment and Recommendations from the Land Trust of Santa Cruz County Review Draft February 2011 What we do Our goal is to protect and care for the spectacular beauty and natural resources that make Santa Cruz County special. We protect working lands, like farms and timberland, and natural lands with high conservation value – thus protecting water supplies, wildlife habitats, and open space. How we do it We believe that a relatively small investment now can save what we love forever. We protect land through a variety of means. Sometimes we buy the land from willing landowners. Sometimes we reach preservation agreements with landowners. Always, we serve as good stewards of the land under our care. We work with a wide variety of conservation partners to accomplish our goals. What we’ve done The Land Trust was founded in 1978 and has directly protected 3,200 acres of land and worked with others to protect another 10,000 acres. We have protected redwood forests, rare Sandhills habitat, wetlands at the heart of the Watsonville Sloughs, and 1,400 acres of farmland in the Pajaro Valley. Who funds our work Our work is funded by donations from individuals, as well as foundation and government grants which multiply the impact of individual gifts. During the past three years individual donations were matched $23 to $1 by grant funding. Our Board The Land Trust is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit under the Internal Revenue Service Code (tax ID # 94-2431856) and is governed by a Board of Trustees that includes farmers, landowners, business people, conservationists, and community volunteers.

  • Nota Lepidopterologica
    ©Societas Europaea Lepidopterologica; download unter http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/ und www.zobodat.at Notalepid. 24 (4): 3-10 The identity of Tinea megerlella Hübner, [1810] - a long-lasting confusion between Elachista (Elachistidae) and Adela (Adelidae) Mikhail V. Kozlov* & Lauri Kaila** Section of Ecology. University of Turku. FIN-20014 Turku. Finland ** Finnish Museum of Natural History, University of Helsinki. FIN-00014 Helsinki. Finland Summary. Examination of Hübner 's [1810] figure (p. 44, fig. 307) demonstrated that the current use of the name Tinea megerlella Hübner. [ 1 8 1 0] for a species in the genus Elachista (Gelechioidea. Elachistidae) is incorrect. We provide evidence that Hübner may have figured a female of the species currently known as Adela associatella (Zeller, 1839) (Incurvarioidea. Adelidae). As this newly discovered senior subjec- tive synonym. Adela megerlella (Hübner, [1810]), has not been used for the species of Adela for more than 100 years, whereas the junior synonym, A. associatella. is commonly accepted (at least 26 refer- ences, all by different authors, during the past 50 years), our discover)' has no effect on the nomenclature of fairy moths (Adelidae): the junior synonym is protected in accordance with ICZN Article 23.9.1. However, the name Elachista obliquella Stainton, 1854, should be used for the species currently known as Elachista megerlella auct.. because the latter name (misidentification) is invalid according to ICZN Article 49. Neotypes designated for both Tinea megerlella Hübner and Elachista obliquella Stainton are deposited in the Natural History Museum (London). Zusammenfassung.
