Diversity of lice and flea‐ and lice‐borne pathogens in free‐ranging dogs in Uzbekistan
Lice (Trichodectes canis, Linognathus africanus and Bovicola bovis) and fleas were collected from dogs across five regions of Uzbekistan and subjected to molecular analysis. Molecular screening detected Dipylidium caninum and Bartonella spp. in fleas, while Rickettsia spp. were identified in both fleas and lice.

The remerging nature of plague requires detailed understanding of the plague flea vectors and small mammal reservoir interactions. Therefore, this study is aimed at assessing flea vector composition, diversity, prevalence, abundance, and phylogeny in selected villages of Lushoto, Mbulu, and Morogoro Rural districts in Tanzania.

Bartonella species are known as candidates for zoonotic transmission, and cats serve as the main reservoir for Bartonella henselae, the primary causative agent of cat scratch disease (CSD). However, research on the transmission of bartonellosis to humans remains very limited.

In mammals, detection of Wolbachia bacteria can be used to diagnose filarial infection, while antibiotic treatment to eliminate Wolbachia can assist in eliminating filarial infections. Because Wolbachia are necessary for survival of several filarioids and closely related to Anaplasma and Ehrlichia, we analyzed Wolbachia DNA amplification by Anaplasma ...
