Lipid hijacking: A unifying theme in vector-borne diseases
eLife, 2020 Vector-borne illnesses comprise a significant portion of human maladies, representing 17% of global infections. Transmission of vector-borne pathogens to mammals primarily occurs by hematophagous arthropods.

Wiring a periscope--ocelli, retinula axons, visual neuropils and the ancestrality of sea spiders. [PDF]
, 2012 The Pycnogonida or sea spiders are cryptic, eight-legged arthropods with four median ocelli in a 'periscope' or eye tubercle. In older attempts at reconstructing phylogeny they were Arthropoda incertae sedis, but recent molecular trees placed them as the

Allergy to Hematophagous Arthropod Bites
, 2016 Allergies to hematophagous arthropod bites are inflammatory reactivity to arthropod salivary components. They vary in intensity and quality dependent upon the arthropod specie and the individual immune response to specific proteins of the insect’s saliva.

Molecular detection and characterization of Rift Valley fever virus in arthropod vectors in Nigeria
The MicrobeRift Valley fever virus (RVFV) is a zoonotic arthropod-borne virus infecting mostly livestock, and sometimes, humans across Africa. It is transmitted primarily by mosquitoes, and occasionally, other arthropod vectors.

Ornamental plants as climatic indicators of arthropod vectors
Acta Universitatis Sapientiae: Agriculture and Environment, 2013 The importance and risk of vector-borne diseases (e.g., leishmaniasis, West Nile Virus, Lyme borreliosis) is going to increase in the European temperate areas due to climate change.

Reptile vector-borne diseases of zoonotic concern
International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2021 Reptile vector-borne diseases (RVBDs) of zoonotic concern are caused by bacteria, protozoa and viruses transmitted by arthropod vectors, which belong to the subclass Acarina (mites and ticks) and the order Diptera (mosquitoes, sand flies and tsetse flies)

Arthropods Vector Grapevine Trunk Disease Pathogens [PDF]
Phytopathology®, 2014 Arthropod-mediated dispersal of pathogens is known in many cropping systems but has never been demonstrated for grapevine trunk disease pathogens. Arthropods from vineyards were screened for the presence of pathogens associated with Petri disease and esca using cultural and molecular techniques.
