Diversity of lice and flea- and lice-borne pathogens in free-ranging dogs in Uzbekistan. [PDF]
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 majority of systemic allergic reactions after insect stings are caused by Hymenoptera, and among these, vespid genera induce most of the systemic sting reactions (SSR). Honey bees are the second leading cause of SSR.

Diversity of Ticks in the Caribbean Region and Detection of Their Pathogens Using BioMark Technology. [PDF]
Introduction Ticks and the pathogens they transmit are widespread in Caribbean animal populations. There is; however, limited information on the diversity of ticks and tick‐borne pathogens (TTBPs) in the region. This study aims to identify TTBPs across multiple Caribbean countries using a high‐throughput real‐time microfluidic PCR system.
