Talactac M, Hernandez E, Hatta T, Yoshii K, Kusakisako K, Tsuji N, et al.
Dev Comp Immunol . 2021 Jan; 119:104012. PMID: 33484780
Ticks, being obligate hematophagous arthropods, are exposed to various blood-borne pathogens, including arboviruses. Consequently, their feeding behavior can readily transmit economically important viral pathogens to humans and animals. With this...

Hernandez E, Talactac M, Vitor R, Yoshii K, Tanaka T
Acta Trop . 2020 Nov; 214:105763. PMID: 33242485
Ticks are important vectors of diseases affecting both humans and animals. To be an efficient vector, ticks have to survive infection by pathogens such as the Langat virus (LGTV). One...

Kusakisako K, Morokuma H, Talactac M, Hernandez E, Yoshii K, Tanaka T
Front Cell Infect Microbiol . 2020 Feb; 10:7. PMID: 32047725
Ticks are hematophagous arthropods, and their blood feeding on vertebrate hosts is essential for their development. The vertebrate blood contains high levels of free iron that can react with oxygen...

Hernandez E, Talactac M, Fujisaki K, Tanaka T
Dev Comp Immunol . 2019 Jun; 100:103409. PMID: 31200008
The blood-feeding behavior of ticks has resulted in them becoming one of the most important vectors of disease-causing pathogens. Ticks possess a well-developed innate immune system to counter invading pathogens....

Talactac M, Hernandez E, Fujisaki K, Tanaka T
Front Physiol . 2018 Dec; 9:1728. PMID: 30564140
To fully unravel the ixodid ticks' role as vectors of viral pathogens, their susceptibility to new control measures, and their ability to develop acaricide resistance, acclimatization of ticks under laboratory...
6.
Hernandez E, Kusakisako K, Talactac M, Galay R, Yoshii K, Tanaka T
Sci Rep . 2018 Nov; 8(1):16566. PMID: 30410072
Iron is a very important nutrient for cells; however, it could also cause fatal effects because of its capability to trigger oxidative stress. Due to high exposure to iron from...

Hernandez E, Kusakisako K, Talactac M, Galay R, Hatta T, Fujisaki K, et al.
Parasit Vectors . 2018 Aug; 11(1):460. PMID: 30092823
Background: Haemaphysalis longicornis is a tick of importance to health, as it serves as a vector of several pathogens, including Theileria orientalis, Babesia ovata, Rickettsia japonica and the severe fever...

Yada Y, Talactac M, Kusakisako K, Hernandez E, Galay R, Andoh M, et al.
J Invertebr Pathol . 2018 Jul; 156:14-18. PMID: 30003919
Ticks are key vectors of some important diseases of humans and animals. Although they are carriers of disease agents, the viability and development of ticks are not harmed by the...

Talactac M, Yoshii K, Hernandez E, Kusakisako K, Galay R, Fujisaki K, et al.
Sci Rep . 2018 Jun; 8(1):9300. PMID: 29915199
Thogoto virus (THOV), a tick-borne arbovirus not previously reported in East Asia, was recently isolated from Haemaphysalis longicornis in Kyoto, Japan. In this study, we investigated the vector competence of...

Kusakisako K, Hernandez E, Talactac M, Yoshii K, Umemiya-Shirafuji R, Fujisaki K, et al.
Ticks Tick Borne Dis . 2018 Mar; 9(4):872-881. PMID: 29576393
Ticks are obligate hematophagous ectoparasites, as they need to feed blood from vertebrate hosts for development. Host blood contains high levels of iron. Host-derived iron may lead to high levels...
