Prevalence and diversity of Borrelia spp. in questing ticks from urban green spaces in Lithuania

Ticks and Tick-Borne Diseases
Lithuania is a highly endemic area for Lyme borreliosis (LB), and Ixodes ricinus, the primary vector of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (s.l.) in Europe, is widespread throughout the country.

Cellular immune response of Amblyomma sculptum and Amblyomma americanum to entomopathogenic fungi: Implications for biological tick control

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 582-594, September 2026.
Amblyomma sculptum showed a plasmatocyte‐dominant haemocyte profile. Beauveria bassiana increased plasmatocytes and reduced granulocytes, whereas Metarhizium robertsii did not cause significant changes. Amblyomma americanum showed a granulocyte‐dominant haemocyte profile. Beauveria bassiana reduced total haemocytes and granulocytes. B.

Distribution and Genetic Diversity of Borrelia from Lyme Borreliosis and Relapsing Fever Groups in Ixodidae Ticks in the Russian Far East

Pathogens
Ixodidae ticks are vectors of pathogenic spirochetes from the Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (s.l.) complex and the relapsing fever (RF) group. The Russian Far East is endemic for borrelioses, yet data on the distribution and genetic diversity of ...

Host, vector, and parasite dynamics: exploring intrinsic and extrinsic factors shaping tick‐borne filarial nematode transmission

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1779-1792, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Tick‐borne filarial nematodes are a complex and understudied group of parasites that rely on ticks for transmission in vertebrates. This review examines how intrinsic and extrinsic factors may influence the successful transmission of filarial nematodes in tick vectors, drawing insights from extensively studied haematophagous dipteran vector ...

Septic Arthritis and Its Mimics: Assessing the Incidence, Mortality Rate, Cause‐of Death and Preventability in a Population‐Based Cohort Study

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Septic arthritis (SA) is considered the most harmful etiology in patients presenting with an acutely painful swollen knee. This study aimed to estimate the incidence, mortality rate, and cause of death among patients diagnosed with SA and compare it to non‐infectious causes.

Vectors and Vector‐Borne Diseases: Biology, Epidemiology and Integrated Control Strategies

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 7, Page 990-1015, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Vector‐Borne Diseases (VBDs), transmitted by arthropods such as mosquitoes, ticks, fleas and sandflies, represent a significant threat to global health. These diseases can be caused by a variety of pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and helminths.

Minimal-Change Disease Secondary to Borrelia burgdorferi Infection

Case Reports in Nephrology, 2012
Lyme borreliosis is a chronic illness caused by tick-transmitted spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi. Borreliosis can be extremely threatening if it is not diagnosed and treated in early stages. Kidneys are not typically involved in the disease.
