Molecular detection of Rickettsia spp. in wild ungulates and their ticks in Mediterranean areas of southwestern Spain

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.

Evolutionary Convergence of Nutritional Symbionts in Ticks. [PDF]

Environ Microbiol Rep
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 ...

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 ...

Mapping and monitoring tick (Acari, Ixodida) distribution, seasonality, and host associations in the United Kingdom between 2017 and 2020

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 ...

Insecticide efficacy on ticks (Dermacentor spp.) – Case study from an infested territory in Transylvania, Romania

Acta Universitatis Sapientiae: Agriculture and Environment, 2021
Ticks can be a major concern for humans and animals alike through the transmission of various viral and bacterial diseases. Ticks have also developed tolerance to several active compounds due to intensive insecticide treatments.

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

Detecting zoonotic and non‐zoonotic pathogens in livestock and their ticks in Corsican wetlands

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 2662-2677, November 2022., 2022
The objective of our study was to investigate the presence of pathogens in cattle and sheep farms in the wetlands of Corsica using a high‐throughput screening technique. Different pathogens were detected in ticks and animals, some of them being detected for the first time in Corsica or in the sampled animal breed. The result of this research will allow
