Tick‐borne pathogen interactions enhance transmission in cattle and ticks in Ogun, Nigeria

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Tick‐borne diseases (TBDs) pose a major public health concern in tropical regions, where co‐infections and pathogen interactions complicate disease control. Understanding how these interactions vary across vertebrate hosts and tick vectors, and their impact on disease transmission, is crucial for developing effective intervention strategies ...

ASSESSMENT OF PRIMERS DESIGNED FROM THE SMALL RIBOSOMAL SUBUNIT RNA FOR SPECIFIC DISCRIMINATION BETWEEN BABESIA BIGEMINA AND BABESIA BOVIS BY PCR

Ciência Animal Brasileira, 2006
Six pairs of species-specific primers were designed from the alignment of the sequences of the SS rRNA gene obtained from the Genbank database for Babesia bigemina (accession number X59604) and for B. bovis (accession number U06105).

Morphological Abnormalities and Biological Effects in the Porto Alegre Strain of Rhipicephalus microplus

Entomological Research, Volume 56, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Rhipicephalus microplus is a widespread tick species causing significant economic losses and transmitting pathogens to cattle. The R. microplus populations utilized in tick research are frequently maintained under laboratory conditions for many years.

Acaricidal activity of small molecule antagonists of the tick kinin receptor against Rhipicephalus microplus acaricide‐susceptible and resistant strains

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 2, Page 1618-1628, February 2026.
Two small molecules, SACC‐0039590 and SACC‐0428788, killed cattle fever tick, R. microplus, susceptible Deutch strain and pyrethroid resistant Arauquita strain larvae. SACC‐0039590 at 1 mM decreased the reproductive parameters of Deutch females. Abstract BACKGROUND Resistance to acaricides underscores the need for tick control alternatives.

Antiparasitic Potential of Bioactive Compounds From Punica granatum: Preventive and Therapeutic Effects

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Diseases caused by parasites are a global public health problem. Due to their heterogeneity and diversity, they can affect various hosts, and some diseases are considered zoonotic. Therapeutic control in parasitic diseases has lost its effectiveness over the last decades.

High resolution melting analysis of the 18S rRNA gene for the rapid diagnosis of bovine babesiosis

Parasites & Vectors, 2019
Background Bovine babesiosis is caused by protozoan parasites of the genus Babesia and presents a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations. Disease severity depends on the type of Babesia species infection. Generally, B. bovis and B.

Efficient Transovarial Transmission of Babesia Spp. in Rhipicephalus microplus Ticks Fed on Water Buffalo (Bubalus bubalis)

Pathogens, 2020
Water buffaloes can be infected by tick-borne pathogens (TBPs) in endemic areas where cattle and buffalo coexist. Among TBPs affecting buffaloes is the Apicomplexan hemoparasites Babesia bovis and B. bigemina, transmitted by Rhipicephalus microplus ticks.

Molecular Characterization of Wolbachia Endosymbionts and Their Association With Canine Dirofilariasis in Colombo District, Sri Lanka

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Canine dirofilariasis is caused by Dirofilaria, a type of filarial parasite that can also infect humans and is becoming a growing concern in Sri Lanka. Previous studies have noted that Sri Lanka has some of the highest numbers of dirofilariasis cases in Asia.
