Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 70, Issue 6, Page 485-497, September 2023., 2023 Abstract Wildlife is an important reservoir of zoonotic pathogens. The objective of the present study was to assess the importance of wild ungulates in the epidemiology of Rickettsia spp. Ticks and spleen samples were collected from 262 red deer (Cervus elaphus) and 83 wild boar (Sus scrofa) hunted in southwestern Spain over a 5‐year period.

Rickettsial pathogens drive microbiota assembly in Hyalomma marginatum and Rhipicephalus bursa ticks
Molecular Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 16, Page 4660-4676, August 2023., 2023 Abstract Most tick‐borne pathogens (TBPs) are secondarily acquired by ticks during feeding on infected hosts, which imposes ‘priority effect’ constraints, as arrival order influences the establishment of new species in a microbial community. Here we tested whether once acquired, TBPs contribute to bacterial microbiota functioning by increasing ...

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 37, Issue 1, Page 152-163, March 2023., 2023 The risk of tick‐borne disease is linked to the distribution, seasonal activity and host associations of vector species, all of which can be informed by surveillance and citizen science The Tick Surveillance Scheme (established since 2005) in the United Kingdom monitors distribution changes in Ixodes ricinus and other native or imported vector species ...

Diversity of Viruses in Ixodes ricinus in Europe including Novel and Potential Arboviruses
Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023 Tick‐borne pathogens are responsible for many vector‐borne diseases in Europe, causing important problems for human and animal health. The composition of viral communities in ticks and their interactions with pathogens is little understood, especially in Eastern Europe, an area that represents a major hub for animal‐arthropod vectors exchanges. In this

Rickettsia slovacainDermacentor marginatusticks, Germany
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2009 To the Editor: Dermacentor spp. ticks are found in many countries in Europe, and are vectors for several pathogens, including Francisella tularensis, Coxiella burnetii, Rickettsia spp., and Babesia canis (1,2). Because Dermacentor marginatus ticks require warm dry habitats, these ticks are found in only a few areas in southern Germany, mainly in the ...

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

Hemelipoglycoprotein from the ornate sheep tick, Dermacentor marginatus: structural and functional characterization [PDF]
Parasites & Vectors, 2011 Abstract Background Tick carrier proteins are able to bind, transport, and store host-blood heme, and thus they function also as antioxidants. Nevertheless, the role of carrier proteins in ticks is not fully understood.

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 5, September 2025.A rare indoor infestation by the brown dog tick Rhipicephalus sanguineus (s.l.) was documented in an urban home in Chișinău, Moldova. The ticks were found in an apartment with no recent travel history and minimal dog movement. This case highlights the risk of reestablishment of this species in temperate regions and emphasizes the importance of ongoing ...

Evolutionary Convergence of Nutritional Symbionts in Ticks
Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 3, June 2025.Confocal imaging of nutritional symbionts in the ovaries of ticks using fluorescence in situ hybridisation. ABSTRACT Symbiosis with bacteria is essential for the survival of animals with an obligate blood‐feeding lifestyle. In ticks, two distinct bacterial lineages, Coxiella‐like and Francisella‐like endosymbionts, have independently evolved into ...

Rickettsia slovaca from Dermacentor marginatus ticks in Sardinia, Italy
Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2012 Nineteen ticks belonging to the species Dermacentor marginatus, Rhipicephalus bursa, and Haemaphysalis sulcata were collected from wild animals (wild boar, deer, and mouflon) in south-western Sardinia, Italy. Five D. marginatus ticks from wild boar were PCR-positive when analyzed using gltA-specific and ompA-specific primers, leading to the ...
