First Report of Anaplasma phagocytophilum in Galapagos: High Prevalence in Dogs and Circumstantial Evidence for the Role of Rhipicephalus linnaei as Vector

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
The current study investigates the presence and prevalence of Anaplasma species in dogs from the Galapagos Islands, focusing on the potential vectorial role of Rhipicephalus linnaei in the transmission of these pathogens. Blood samples were collected from 1221 dogs across four islands, with tick collections for morphological and genetic identification.

Ticks and Tick‐Borne Pathogens Encountered by Dogs and Cats: A North European Perspective

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Climate change is increasing the worldwide burden of tick‐borne diseases (TBDs). Dramatic increases in human cases of borreliosis have been reported during the past few decades, including from Finland, located in North Europe. As human exposure to ticks carrying pathogens is increasing, so likely is exposure of dogs and cats.

A global systematic review and meta‐analysis on the babesiosis in dogs with special reference to Babesia canis

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 10, Issue 3, May 2024.
Canine babesiosis is a clinically significant tick‐transmitted disease caused by several species of Babesia parasites. Babesia canis was the most prevalent parasite. Owned dogs had higher prevalence rate than stray/shelter dogs. Abstract Background Canine babesiosis is a clinically significant tick‐transmitted disease caused by several species of the ...

Metabarcoding using nanopore long‐read sequencing for the unbiased characterization of apicomplexan haemoparasites

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 24, Issue 2, February 2024.
Abstract Apicomplexan haemoparasites generate significant morbidity and mortality in humans and other animals, particularly in many low‐to‐middle income countries. Malaria caused by Plasmodium remains responsible for some of the highest numbers of annual deaths of any human pathogen, whilst piroplasmids, such as Babesia and Theileria can have immense ...

Two Species of Canine Babesia in Australia: Detection and Characterization by PCR

, 2003
The haemoprotozoan Babesia canis has been recognized in Australia for many years, and a second, smaller species has recently been discovered. Amplification and sequencing of a partial region of the 18S small subunit ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene enabled ...
