High Diversity and Prevalence of Rickettsial Agents in Rhipicephalus microplus Ticks from Livestock in Karst Landscapes of Southwest China

Microorganisms
Ticks and tick-borne pathogens pose a significant threat to human and animal health, yet the diversity and prevalence of tick-borne microorganisms in karst regions remains inadequately explored.

Anaplasma Phagocytophilum, a Zoonotic Vector‐Borne Bacterial Species in Rodents and Its Associated Tick Vector: Systematic Review

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 3, May 2025.
A. phagocytophilum infections have been detected from various rodent hosts and the associated ticks from different sites throughout the globe. Ixodes ticks were the most frequent tick observed in the studies, followed by Dermacentor tick and Haemaphysalis tick species. Apodemus rodent species were frequently observed, followed by Microtus spp.

Molecular Typing of Tick-Borne Pathogens in Ixodids of Bosnia and Herzegovina

Microorganisms
Ticks are key vectors of zoonotic pathogens, and their expanding distribution in Europe heightens public health concerns. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, while tick distribution is well documented, molecular data on tick-borne pathogens remain limited.

Opinion and report of the French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety (ANSES) on the assessment of the impact of fox population dynamics on public health

Food Risk Assess Europe, Volume 3, Issue 2, April 2025.
ABSTRACT The Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes) can be hunted as a game species. It may also be listed as a “species likely to cause damage” (ESOD – the acronym in French), for public health reasons among others. Conversely, benefits linked to the presence of foxes are also put forward, such as the predation of rodents carrying zoonotic agents.

Seasonal pattern of questing ticks and prevalence of pathogenic Rickettsia and Anaplasmataceae in Khao Yai national park, Thailand

Travel Medicine and Infectious Disease
Background: Tick-borne diseases (TBD) are considered neglected diseases in Thailand with disease burden likely underestimated. To assess risk for emerging TBD in Thailand, the seasonality of questing tick and pathogen prevalence were studied in Khao Yai ...

Participatory surveillance reveals marsh deer mortality event during an extraordinary flood in Ibera Wetlands, Argentina

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2025.
Abstract Mortality events of marsh deer (Blastocerus dichotomus) have been historically described in the southern margins of its geographical range. Few documented cases show how environmental changes and pathogens interact to trigger mortality scenarios and reveal their causes.

Geographic Variation in the Prevalence of Candidatus Neoehrlichia procyonis in Raccoons (Procyon lotor) in the United States and Canada

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 14, Issue 1, February 2025.
A total of 167/394 (42.4%) raccoons were positive for Candidatus Neoehrlichia procyonis. Spatial variation was noted with higher prevalences in the Southeast region of the United States and in California. Ca. N. procyonis is widespread in raccoon populations, but the spatial variation in prevalence may be related to vector distribution or another ...
