Zoonotic Disease Transmission May Be Linked to Host Co‐Occurrence Network Topology

open access: yesAnnals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1554, Issue 1, Page 110-120, December 2025.
A global analysis of zoonotic host co‐occurrence networks identified 22 networks from five continents (A) and 87 hosts from 16 orders of mostly birds but also mammals (B) as having a high potential for disease transmission. ABSTRACT Most human pathogens are zoonotic, transmitted from vertebrate hosts to humans.

Canine Spotted Fever Group Rickettsial Seroprevalence as an Indicator for Human Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever Case Rates in Arizona, USA

open access: yesZoonoses and Public Health, Volume 72, Issue 8, Page 697-705, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Introduction Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF), a rapidly progressing febrile disease caused by the bacterium Rickettsia rickettsii, is the deadliest tick‐borne disease in the world. Human infection initially results in non‐specific symptoms and, if untreated, can result in death in up to 35% of cases.

Observations of tear‐drinking by lepidopterans on moose (Alces americanus americanus) in northeastern North America

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 16, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract Lepidoptera have long been known to feed on the tears of vertebrates as a presumed source of minerals or nutrients. While this unusual behavior has been observed in a variety of species, only a single previous record has been documented outside of the tropics. Here, we present the first documentation of moths visiting the eyes of a bull moose (

Prevalence and Identification of Livestock Tick by Sex Ratio and Host in Tehran Province

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 6, November 2025.
This study identified tick species infesting livestock and poultry in Tehran Province, revealing a female‐biased sex ratio and sheep as the most infested hosts. Rhipicephalus sanguineus sensu lato was the dominant species. These findings underscore the need for host‐targeted tick control to mitigate disease transmission and economic losses.
