Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?

open access: yesFEBS Letters, Volume 600, Issue 17, Page 2547-2563, September 2026.
This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

Efficient, Capsule‐Free Nymphal Ixodid Tick Placement for Site‐Specific Attachment to Assess Anti‐Tick Host Behavior and Immune Responses

open access: yesCurrent Protocols, Volume 6, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Ixodid ticks are among the most widespread and permissive groups of arthropod disease vectors in the world. They transmit various viral, bacterial, protozoan, and even nematode pathogens infective for humans and animals. Ticks are essential to studying pathogen transmission and infection in a new host; however, exposing in vivo models to ticks

Grass species and climatic season impact on Rhipicephalus microplus temporal abundance in a tropical region

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 8950-8962, September 2026.
The interaction between grass species and climatic season shapes the population dynamics of the cattle tick, Rhipicephalus microplus. This information highlights the potential of forage species to influence off‐host tick dynamics. Additionally, minimum temperature and minimum relative humidity were the most influential microclimatic predictors of ...

Molecular Detection, Epidemiology and Genetic Diversity of Babesia microti Infecting Wild Rodents

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 5, September 2026.
Blood samples from 284 rodents captured across seven districts of Pakistan were screened for Babesia microti using 18S rRNA PCR. Overall prevalence was 12%, with infection detected in Rattus rattus, Mus musculus and Rattus norvegicus. Phylogenetic analysis showed close similarity with global isolates.
