From Infection to Anxiety: A Sequential Model Linking Latent Toxoplasmosis to Psychological Distress via Health and Stress

Scandinavian Journal of Psychology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Identifying the drivers of chronic stress is crucial for understanding its impact on mental health. Latent toxoplasmosis, a widespread parasitic infection, has been linked to various psychological changes. The Stress‐Coping Hypothesis proposes that at least some of these changes are consequences of chronic stress arising from the infection's ...

Epidemiological, Clinical, and Microbiological Characteristics in a Large Series of Patients Affected by Dermacentor-Borne-Necrosis-Erythema-Lymphadenopathy from a Unique Centre from Spain

Pathogens, 2022
During recent decades, a tick-borne rickettsial syndrome, characterized by eschar and painful lymphadenopathy after Dermacentor marginatus-bite, has been described as an emerging rickettsiosis in Europe.

Diversity of Coxiella-like and Francisella-like endosymbionts, and Rickettsia spp., Coxiella burnetii as pathogens in the tick populations of Slovakia, Central Europe [PDF]

, 2018
Ticks are important vectors of pathogens affecting humans and animals worldwide. They do not only carry pathogens but diverse commensal and symbiotic microorganisms are also present in ticks.

Risk Factors for Tick‐Borne Diseases in Germany: A Scoping Review

Zoonoses and Public Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tick‐borne diseases (TBDs) have proliferated in Germany. The two most prevalent TBDs, Lyme‐borreliosis and tick‐borne encephalitis, can present with nonspecific symptoms and lead to serious neurological complications. To date, a review synthesising the risk factors of acquiring a TBD in Germany is missing.

Rickettsiales in South America: A Systematic Review of Their Molecular Detection and Distribution in Arthropods and Vertebrates

Public Health Challenges, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Bacteria of the order Rickettsiales comprise a diverse group of obligate intracellular microorganisms that are globally distributed and highly prevalent in tropical and subtropical regions. In South America, these bacteria have been associated with arthropod vectors, such as ticks, fleas, mites, lice, and certain dipterans, as well as with a ...

Francisella-like endosymbiont in Dermacentor reticulatus collected in Portugal [PDF]

, 2011
In Portugal, recent studies have confirmed the presence of Francisella tularensis in Dermacentor reticulatus. Bacterial endosymbionts with significant homology to F. tularensis have been described in several species of ticks.

Exploring management options for moose at their southern range limits considering growing disease risk

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 2, April/June 2026.
Simulation models for moose in New York including hypothetical disease and harvest scenarios help explore management options under uncertainty. While the population currently appears to be stable, increases in parasite‐induced disease attributed to shared space‐use with white‐tailed deer could lead to declines in this marginal moose population ...

Genotyping of tick-borne pathogens and determination of human attacking tick species in Novosibirsk and its suburbs

Инфекция и иммунитет, 2022
The south of Western Siberia traditionally belongs to the regions with unfavorable epidemiological situation for tick-transmitted infections. In Novosibirsk and its suburbs, approximately 20 thousand people annually seek for medical care after tick bites.

Early Tick Species Identification Using Eschar‐Based PCR to Guide Presymptomatic Risk Assessment in Tick‐Borne Diseases

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT In endemic regions where simultaneous larval tick bites frequently occur, early identification of tick species from eschar lesions may substantially influence presymptomatic clinical triage. We report a 78‐year‐old woman who was found after approximately 24 h of wandering, presenting with multiple clustered eschars on the lower extremities and
