New Records of Ticks of Genus Amblyomma Koch, 1844 (Acari: Ixodidae) for Ecuador

Acta Parasitologica, 2020
In Ecuador, knowledge of the diversity and geographic distribution of ticks, as well as their importance as vectors, is scarce. Within the family Ixodidae, the genus Amblyomma is the most diverse and parasitizes wild and domestic animals.

Zoonotic Disease Transmission May Be Linked to Host Co‐Occurrence Network Topology

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, EarlyView.
A global analysis of zoonotic host co‐occurrence networks identified 22 networks from five continents (A) and 87 hosts from 16 orders of mostly birds but also mammals (B) as having a high potential for disease transmission. ABSTRACT Most human pathogens are zoonotic, transmitted from vertebrate hosts to humans.

Molecular Screening of Black Flies (Diptera: Simuliidae) for Vector‐Borne Zoonotic Pathogens, South Moravia, Czech Republic

Zoonoses and Public Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Black flies (Simuliidae) are globally distributed blood‐feeding arthropods and vectors of viral, bacterial, and parasitic pathogens to many animal species, including humans. We investigated the occurrence of selected vector‐borne pathogens in black flies in South Moravia, Czech Republic, and evaluated their possible role in the ...

Identification of a novel ß-adrenergic octopamine receptor-like gene (ßAOR-like) and increased ATP-binding cassette B10 (ABCB10) expression in a Rhipicephalus microplus cell line derived from acaricide-resistant ticks [PDF]

, 2016
Background: The cattle tick Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus is an economically important parasite of livestock. Effective control of ticks using acaricides is threatened by the emergence of resistance to many existing compounds. Several continuous R.
