Rickettsia spp. and Anaplasmataceae in Ticks From Domestic Animals in Northern Colombia

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 72, Issue 5, Page 421-434, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Introduction Tick‐borne diseases have a significant impact on public and animal health and represent a considerable financial burden on livestock farming. However, in many regions of Latin America, comprehensive epidemiological data, including species identification, geographical distribution and molecular profiling of ticks and their ...

Evolutionary Convergence of Nutritional Symbionts in Ticks

Environmental 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

Journal 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.

Argas (Persicargas) persicus (Oken, 1818) (Ixodida: Argasidae) in Sicily with considerations about its Italian and West-Mediterranean distribution

Parasite, 2010
Recently, in the province of Trapani (Western Sicily), some overwintering specimens of the argasid tick Argas (Persicargas) persicus (Oken, 1818) were observed and collected. Morphological and genetic analysis were utilized in order to reach a definitive

First record of Ornithodoros faccinii (Acari: Argasidae) on toads of genus Rhinella (Anura: Bufonidae) in Brazil

Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária, 2018
Although a group of soft ticks (Argasidae) associated with amphibians was recently discovered in Brazilian rainforests, parasitism by these ticks on cold-blooded animals remains less common than on mammal and bird species.

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

Journal 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 ...

Environmental and health associations with parasite presence on a coastal sentinel, the little penguin

Oikos, Volume 2025, Issue 5, May 2025.
Seabird health is linked to their marine and terrestrial environments, but health–environment relationships are rarely described. Parasites are common among seabird colonies, however reductions to seabird health may occur if the delicate parasite–host relationship is imbalanced.

Spatial Distribution of Ticks (Arachniada: Argasidae and Ixodidae) and Their Infection Rate to Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Virus in Iran

Journal of Arthropod-Borne Diseases, 2021
Background: The Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF) is one of the most important arthropod-borne viral dis­eases with a mortality rate of about 30% among humans.

Potential mechanisms implied in tick infection by arboviruses and their transmission to vertebrate hosts

Integrative Zoology, Volume 20, Issue 2, Page 315-330, March 2025.
We summarize the recent progress in understanding defense mechanisms in specific tissues or sites that are encountered by arboviruses and discuss their possible roles in virus infection or transmission. Abstract Ticks can transmit many pathogens, including arboviruses, to their vertebrate hosts.
