Evolutionary Convergence of Nutritional Symbionts in Ticks

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 3, June 2025.
Confocal imaging of nutritional symbionts in the ovaries of ticks using fluorescence in situ hybridisation. ABSTRACT Symbiosis with bacteria is essential for the survival of animals with an obligate blood‐feeding lifestyle. In ticks, two distinct bacterial lineages, Coxiella‐like and Francisella‐like endosymbionts, have independently evolved into ...

Beware of hitchhiking ticks? Clarifying the variable roles of bird species in tick movement along migratory routes

open access: yesJournal of Avian Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 3, May 2025.
Ticks are blood‐feeding parasites which act as major vectors for various pathogenic microorganisms affecting both animal and human health. Hard ticks are known to move passively (i.e. ‘hitchhike') on migratory birds as they transit between breeding and non‐breeding grounds.

Life history traits, habitat characteristics, and phylogeny influence tick infestation probability in tropical wild birds

open access: yesJournal of Avian Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 3, May 2025.
Interactions between wild birds and ticks exert significant selective forces, influencing the host's evolution and fitness. Tick infestation rates vary among bird species due to life history and morphology. Understanding tick infestation probability is crucial for conservation efforts, as birds play an important role in the tick life cycle and can ...
