Molecular detection of pathogens from ticks collected from dogs and cats at veterinary clinics in Finland

Parasites & Vectors, 2023
Background Ticks carry microbes, some of which are pathogenic for humans and animals. To assess this One Health challenge, 342 ticks were collected from pet dogs and cats at 10 veterinary clinics in Finland as part of the European project “Protect Our ...

Comparison of spleen transcriptomes of two wild rodent species reveals differences in the immune response against Borrelia afzelii

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 10, Issue 13, Page 6421-6434, July 2020., 2020
Previous studies have shown that Borrelia afzelii‐infected bank voles have about ten times higher bacterial load than infected yellow‐necked mice, indicating that these two species differ in resistance. In this study, gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) showed that IFNα response was up‐regulated in B.

Molecular detection of tick‐borne pathogens in bovine blood and ticks from Khentii, Mongolia

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 67, Issue S2, Page 111-118, July 2020., 2020
Abstract Recent studies reported the detection of DNA from tick‐borne pathogens (TBPs) of veterinary relevance such as Anaplasma marginale, Babesia bigemina, Babesia bovis and Theileria orientalis in bovine blood samples from Mongolia. These findings were unexpected, as the known tick vectors of these pathogens are not known to occur in Mongolia.

Distribution of Neoehrlichia mikurensis in Ixodes ricinus ticks along the coast of Norway: The western seaboard is a low‐prevalence region

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 67, Issue 2, Page 130-137, March 2020., 2020
Abstract Neoehrlichia mikurensis is a tick‐borne pathogen widespread among ticks and rodents in Europe and Asia. A previous study on Ixodes ricinus ticks in Norway suggested that N. mikurensis was scarce or absent on the south‐west coast of Norway, but abundant elsewhere.

Detection of ‘Candidatus Neoehrlichia mikurensis’ and other Anaplasmataceae and Rickettsiaceae in Canidae in Switzerland and Mediterranean countries [PDF]

Schweiz Arch Tierheilkd, 2016
'Candidatus Neoehrlichia mikurensis' is an emerging tick-borne zoonotic agent that primarily affects immunocompromised human patients. Dogs and foxes are frequently exposed to ticks, and both species are in close proximity to humans. This is the first study to systematically investigate the occurrence of 'Candidatus Neoehrlichia mikurensis' in Canidae ...

Monitoring of vector-borne diseases in the west part of Ukraine

Науковий вісник Львівського національного університету ветеринарної медицини та біотехнологій імені С.З. Ґжицького: Серія Ветеринарні науки, 2019
During recent years, infectious and invasive animal diseases caused by viruses, bacteria, and protozoa and transmitted by ticks have been a new problem in medical and veterinary practice. Many of these diseases are zoonoses and lead to the disability and

Molecular detection and characterization of tick-borne pathogens in dogs and ticks from Nigeria. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2013
BACKGROUND: Only limited information is currently available on the prevalence of vector borne and zoonotic pathogens in dogs and ticks in Nigeria. The aim of this study was to use molecular techniques to detect and characterize vector borne pathogens in ...

Candidatus Neoehrlichia mikurensis and its co-circulation with Anaplasma phagocytophilum in Ixodes ricinus ticks across ecologically different habitats of Central Europe

Parasites & Vectors, 2014
Background Candidatus Neoehrlichia mikurensis is a newly emerging tick-borne bacterium from the family Anaplasmataceae. Its presence in Ixodes ricinus ticks was reported from various European countries, however, it’s ecology and co-circulation with ...

Candidatus Neoehrlichia mikurensis in ticks and rodents from urban and natural habitats of South-Western Slovakia. [PDF]

Parasit Vectors, 2016
Candidatus Neoehrlichia mikurensis (CNM) is an emerging tick-borne pathogen causing severe disease in immunocompromised patients. In Europe, Ixodes ricinus is the primary vector and rodents act as reservoir hosts. New data on the prevalence of CNM in ticks and rodents contribute to the knowledge on the distribution of endemic areas and circulation of ...
