The invasive Asian longhorned tick has been found in Maine for the first time. This species is a threat to pets, livestock, and wildlife, as a single female can reproduce without a mate. Mainers are urged to be vigilant and report any unusual ticks. https://t.co/T42P7kvoFw

The Asian longhorned tick was found in Cumberland County and can create infestations from a single individual.

๐จ New paper in @PLOSPathogens! ๐จ Together with @brennanlab, we mapped โ for the first time โ how tick RNA-binding proteins rewire during virus infection. 283 proteins changed activity, revealing key players in viral fitness. Read here:
journals.plos.org
Author summary In host cells, RNA-binding proteins play essential roles in the life cycle of many viruses by influencing how viral RNA is processed, translated, replicated and assembled into virions....
Proud to announce my first publication is out in @PLOSPathogens ! Huge thanks to my co-first author Wael, @brennanlab, and @castello_lab. The paper explores how tick RNA-binding proteins respond to UUKV infection, you can find the paper here https://t.co/HNsotnsKWK

THIS IS SO COOL!!!
๐ฆHow do bunyaviruses spread via mosquitoes? A new study shows the NSm protein is key. NSm helps the virus move cell-to-cell in the mosquito midgut, a crucial step for transmission. Without it, infection fails. More: https://t.co/9swJ0x4dDs Paper: https://t.co/GbSZ0XRN1l
