Detection of Candidatus Neoehrlichia mikurensis and Ehrlichia muris in Estonian ticks
So far neglected bacteria like Candidatud Neoehrlichia mikurensis and Ehrlichia muris-like agents get increased attention in the recent past. Ixodid ticks were demonstrated to harbor both of these pathogens. Estonia is populated by two medically important tick species, I. ricinus and I. persulcatus. In this study the presence of E. muris and Candidatus

Ticks acquire a wide range of microorganisms as a natural part of their lifecycle. Bacteria, viruses, and protozoa can be transmitted to ticks during feeding and free‐living phases. DGGE profiling is a molecular method to describe the microbial population associated with ticks and demonstrate some of the complexity and variety of tick‐borne ...

Emerging tick-borne infections in mainland China: an increasing public health threat [PDF]
Since the beginning of the 1980s, 33 emerging tick-borne agents have been identified in mainland China, including eight species of spotted fever group rickettsiae, seven species in the family Anaplasmataceae, six genospecies in the complex Borrelia ...

The emergence of infectious diseases associated with land‐use changes is well‐documented. However, the presence and dynamics of zoonotic pathogens in small mammals within European forests, whether from rural development or urban greening, remain underexplored.

ABSTRACT The Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes) can be hunted as a game species. It may also be listed as a “species likely to cause damage” (ESOD – the acronym in French), for public health reasons among others. Conversely, benefits linked to the presence of foxes are also put forward, such as the predation of rodents carrying zoonotic agents.

Emerging bacterial pathogens: the past and beyond. [PDF]
Since the 1950s, medical communities have been facing with emerging and reemerging infectious diseases, and emerging pathogens are now considered to be a major microbiologic public health threat.

Tick microbial associations at the crossroad of horizontal and vertical transmission pathways
Background Microbial communities can affect disease risk by interfering with the transmission or maintenance of pathogens in blood-feeding arthropods. Here, we investigated whether bacterial communities vary between Ixodes ricinus nymphs which were or ...

Eco-epidemiology of Borrelia miyamotoi and Lyme borreliosis spirochetes in a popular hunting and recreational forest area in Hungary [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Borrelia miyamotoi, the newly discovered human pathogenic relapsing fever spirochete, and Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato are maintained in natural rodent populations. The aim of this study was to investigate the natural cycle of B. miyamotoi

Ticks and Tick‐Borne Pathogens Encountered by Dogs and Cats: A North European Perspective
Climate change is increasing the worldwide burden of tick‐borne diseases (TBDs). Dramatic increases in human cases of borreliosis have been reported during the past few decades, including from Finland, located in North Europe. As human exposure to ticks carrying pathogens is increasing, so likely is exposure of dogs and cats.

Background Ticks are transmitting a wide range of bacterial pathogens that cause substantial morbidity and mortality in domestic animals. The full pathogen burden transmitted by tick vectors is incompletely studied in many geographical areas, and ...
