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.

Terpenes: Natural Products for Controlling Insects of Importance to Human Health—A Structure‐Activity Relationship Study

Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016., 2016
Many insects affect food production and human health, and in an attempt to control these insects the use of synthetic insecticides has become widespread. However, this has resulted in the development of resistance in these organisms, human diseases, contamination of food, and pollution of the environment.

Detection and Genetic Diversity of Heritable Bacterial Symbionts in Human Lice Based on 16S‐rRNA Gene

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 1, February 2026.
Candidatus Riesia pediculicola and Wolbachia were found in 79.6% and 95.2% of head lice, and 81.8% and 100% of body lice. Candidatus Riesia pthiripubis and Wolbachia appeared in 41.7% and 75% of pubic lice. Maximum‐likelihood 16S‐rRNA phylogeny revealed substantial heterogeneity within symbiont populations. ABSTRACT Human lice are obligate bloodsucking

Management and Treatment of Human Lice

BioMed Research International, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016., 2016
Of the three lice (head, body, and pubic louse) that infest humans, the body louse is the species involved in epidemics of louse‐borne typhus, trench fever, and relapsing fever, but all the three cause pediculosis. Their infestations occur today in many countries despite great efforts to maintain high standards of public health.

The evolution of hard tick-borne relapsing fever borreliae is correlated with vector species rather than geographical distance

BMC Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Background Relapsing fever (RF) borreliae are arthropod-borne spirochetes and some of them cause human diseases, which are characterized by relapsing or recurring episodes of fever.

A Retrospective Study of Ectoparasitosis in Patients Referred to Imam Reza Hospital of Mashhad, Iran

BioMed Research International, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
This cross‐sectional study was performed on all patients suspected to be suffering from ectoparasites who were referred to the parasitology laboratory of Imam Reza Hospital of Mashhad during 15 years (April 1995 to April 2010). All patients’ data were collected from the questionnaires and then analyzed statistically.

Diversity of Parasitic Fauna in Semi‐Scavenging Indigenous Chickens (Gallus gallus domesticus) in Bangladesh

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 1, January 2025.
GI helminth and lice are highly prevalent in indigenous semi‐scavenging chickens. Seven species of helminths were detected, and Raillietina was predominant. Three species of lice were identified and Menopon gallinae was most abundant. Co‐infection was observed in helminth infections and lice infestation.

Bacterial Plasminogen Receptors: Mediators of a Multifaceted Relationship

BioMed Research International, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
Multiple species of bacteria are able to sequester the host zymogen plasminogen to the cell surface. Once localised to the bacterial surface, plasminogen can act as a cofactor in adhesion, or, following activation to plasmin, provide a source of potent proteolytic activity.

Borreliae Part 2: Borrelia Relapsing Fever Group and Unclassified Borrelia

Biology, 2021
Borreliae of the relapsing fever group (RFG) are heterogenous and can be divided mainly into three groups according to vectors, namely the soft-tick-borne relapsing fever (STBRF) Borreliae, the hard-tick-borne relapsing fever (HTBRF) Borreliae, the louse-
