Weaving knowledges to support wildlife health surveillance in Kenya's pastoral rangelands

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract In wildlife–livestock–human interfaces, pathogens capable of spreading between wild and domestic animals and humans have important implications for conservation outcomes, economics, and public health. Robust wildlife health surveillance can help address these risks.

Distributions of the vectors of heartwater, Amblyomma hebraeum and Amblyomma variegatum (Acari: Ixodidae), in Zimbabwe

Experimental & Applied Acarology, 1998
The tick vectors of heartwater (Cowdria ruminantium infection) in Zimbabwe, Amblyomma hebraeum and Amblyomma variegatum, historically were believed to be confined to the low-lying regions of the south and north-west of the country. However, country-wide surveys performed in 1975-1980 and 1988-1991 demonstrated that both species were also established in

Essai de la fluméthrine pour le contrôle de la tique Amblyomma variegatum dans un élevage bovin en Guadeloupe

Revue d’Elevage et de Médecine Vétérinaire des Pays Tropicaux, 1987
Une expérimentation a été conduite dans un élevage de Guadeloupe pour estimer l'efficacité et la rèmanence d'un pyrèthre, la fluméthrine, administrée en bain, en aspersion et en dépôt dorsal ("Pour-on") sur la tique Amblyomma variegatum. L'efficacité est

Is the distribution of Amblyomma variegatum influenced by interspecific competition with Amblyomma hebraeum? Preliminary study: distribution range in Mozambique [PDF]

, 2012
Widely spread in intertropical and subtropical areas of Africa, the southern distribution of Amblyomma variegatum in Mozambique seems to have its limit around the Save River, at the 22nd parallel South. This area also corresponds to the northern limit of

Rickettsia spp. in Ticks of South Luangwa Valley, Eastern Province, Zambia

Microorganisms, 2023
Ticks are important vectors for Rickettsia spp. belonging to the Spotted Fever Group responsible for causing Rickettsiosis worldwide. Rickettsioses pose an underestimated health risk to tourists and local inhabitants. There is evidence of the presence of

Management of Ticks and Tick‐Borne Diseases in Cattle in Southern Benin: Study of Farmer’s Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices

Veterinary Medicine International, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Livestock farming is essential for food security and economic resilience in West Africa. However, ticks and tick‐borne diseases (TTBDs) remain a major constraint, causing economic losses and health risks. In southern Benin, where cattle farming is vital, data on farmer’s knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAPs) toward tick management are ...

Occurrence of Tick‐Borne Pathogens in Rhipicephalus sanguineus Sensu Lato From Domestic Dogs in Kumasi, Ghana

Veterinary Medicine International, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Tick‐borne pathogens, transmitted by ticks, infect humans and animals worldwide. The brown dog tick, Rhipicephalus sanguineus sensu lato, is a significant vector of a number of pathogens, including Ehrlichia canis, Rickettsia and Anaplasma species. In Ghana, there is limited information on the pathogens carried by Rh. sanguineus s.l.

Low effective population sizes in Amblyomma variegatum, the tropical bont tick

Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2019
Effective population sizes have rarely been estimated in ticks despite the importance of this parameter for evaluating the evolutionary and adaptive potential of tick populations. The present study was aimed at evaluating the effective population sizes of Amblyomma variegatum, the tropical bont tick, in three villages in Burkina Faso. For this purpose,

Bloodmeal analysis via COI-targeted DNA capture and enrichment identifies non-cattle hosts of Amblyomma variegatum on St. Croix, US Virgin Islands

Parasites & Vectors
Background Amblyomma variegatum threatens the Caribbean cattle industry owing to its role as a vector for Ehrlichia ruminantium, the obligate intracellular bacterium that causes heartwater disease, an economically important and potentially fatal ruminant

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.
