Thought ticks were terrifying? They just got worse. Turns out they can use static electricity ⚡️ to launch through the air onto hosts, including you! Here's a thread about our new paper w/ @Katie__Lihou, Daniel Robert, out today in @CurrentBiology doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.2023.0… 🧵👇

Florida reports 2 locally acquired malaria cases

Officials confirm that the cases are caused by the Plasmodium vivax malaria parasite, which is not as fatal as other malaria species.

New publication from our group. Ever wonder how the first diet of fish impacts their gut microbiome later in life? Or, how quickly a normal gut bacterial constituent can push out an artificial population introduced from an unnatural food source? DM me. link.springer.com/article/10…

Getting away from ticks and helping with my other passion. Members of the lab (Me and Lukas) helping raise muskie and participating in the annual fish survey at the Thousand Islands Biological Station (#TIBS). Also Lukas caught his first fish. #thousandislands #fish @sunyesf

I’ve been informed today that James Keirans, former curator of ticks in the USNTC in Montana and then after Georgia, passed away last week. I had the opportunity to name Argas keiransi as new species, years ago.

I asked my 5 year old to draw a tick. I told him the first iteration was missing the hypostome. He was like oh yeah the hypostome and added it. ❤️

Where are the phlebotomine sandfly folks at in the Americas? Potentially looking for collaborators that could provide morphologically speciated samples of Lutzomyia spp that are vectors of human pathogens. Please retweet.

We need to talk. Opossums just don't eat nearly as many ticks as folks have been led to believe. It's not the opossum's fault - ticks just aren't a great food source. You understand, right? 📷 Jessica Bolser/USFWS
