Wolbachia in Antarctic terrestrial invertebrates: Absent or undiscovered?

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 16, Issue 6, December 2024.
Endosymbiotic bacteria Wolbachia are recognized for their role in influencing host survival and stress resistance, particularly in cold environmental conditions across various species. However, our analysis of available data reveals a notable absence of Wolbachia in species abundant in the extreme cold conditions of Antarctica.

Exploring the Coinfection and Genetic Diversity of Multiple Tick‐Borne Pathogens in Livestock Population of Punjab, Pakistan

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Tick‐borne diseases affecting domestic animals and humans have increased globally in recent years. Pakistan, in particular, faces a significant economic threat from ticks, where two specific species, Rhipicephalus microplus and Hyalomma anatolicum, act as vectors for various pathogens such as piroplasma, Anaplasma, Ehrlichia, and Rickettsia that pose a

The importance of study duration and spatial scale in pathogen detection—evidence from a tick-infested island

Emerging Microbes and Infections, 2018
Ticks (Acari: Ixodoidea) are among the most common vectors of zoonotic pathogens worldwide. While research on tick-borne pathogens is abundant, few studies have thoroughly investigated small-scale spatial differences in their occurrence.

Close geographic association of human neoehrlichiosis and tick populations carrying "Candidatus Neoehrlichia mikurensis" in eastern Switzerland. [PDF]

J Clin Microbiol, 2013
ABSTRACT Neoehrlichiosis caused by “ Candidatus Neoehrlichia mikurensis” is an emerging zoonotic disease. In total, six patients have been described in Europe, with the first case detected in 2007. In addition, seven patients from China were described in a report published in October 2012.

Highly prevalent bartonellae and other vector-borne pathogens in small mammal species from the Czech Republic and Germany

Parasites & Vectors, 2019
Background Rodents are important reservoirs for zoonotic vector-borne agents. Thus, the distribution of rodents and their vicinity to humans and companion animals may have an important impact on human and animal health.
