In recent years, winter ticks (<em>Dermacentor albipictus)</em> have caused mass mortalities in moose (<em>alces</em>) populations of North America, leading to host mortality due to severe blood loss. During their off-host stages (i.e. egg and larvae), winter ticks are particularly vulnerable to mortality because of potential exposure to stressful abiotic conditions that could dehydrate eggs or freeze larvae. We conducted a field experiment in Québec, Canada, to better understand larval questing behaviour and assess the ability of unfed larvae to survive over the winter to the following fall. In the laboratory, we tested the tolerance of eggs to different saturation deficits reflected by combinations of temperature and humidity and evaluated the tolerance of larvae to sub-freezing temperatures. We found that unfed winter tick larvae did not survive until a second fall regardless of habitat types (open, closed or sheltered from the snow) and thus could not quest for a host for two consecutive years. However, unfed larvae withstood short-term exposure to low sub-freezing temperatures, potentially prolonging their questing period and increasing the likelihood of moose infestations. Egg survival varied among saturation deficits, but survival tended to be higher at 30 °C and lower at 22 °C regardless of the saturation deficit. Overall, we found that the free stages of winter ticks are highly tolerant of extreme conditions, reinforcing the concern that winter ticks represent for moose populations.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49320,"journal":{"name":"Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases","volume":"16 4","pages":"Article 102519"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144588744","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Integrated tick control must include the use of anti-tick vaccines to reduce tick populations and mitigate the ecological impact associated with the extensive use of acaricides. To develop improved vaccines, evaluation of new tick antigens is essential. Voraxin, mainly described as a testes-derived protein, is transferred from males to females during copulation, and it is crucial for stimulating engorgement in female ticks and for the development of their organs. In this study, <em>R. microplus</em> voraxin-alpha (voraxin-α) was amplified and sequenced, four peptides with predicted B-cell epitopes were designed and their immunogenic properties were evaluated. Each peptide was mixed with a commercial adjuvant and inoculated into two cattle from a tick-free region to corroborate if they were truly immunogenic. The antibody responses to each peptide were assessed using indirect ELISA. Two peptides were immunogenic and were selected for further testing involving immunization and experimental infestation with 10,000 larvae and two cattle per evaluated peptide. Immunization with peptide 3 reduced tick survival in 17 %, oviposition in 14 % and egg hatching in 22 %, while peptide 4 impaired oviposition in 18 % and egg hatching in 18 %. No effect on weight was observed. In conclusion, ticks fed on cattle producing specific antibodies against voraxin-α B-cell epitopes, have a reduced survival, oviposition and fertility, which are important biological parameters, related to tick fitness.
