Molecular Detection of Anaplasma spp. and Ehrlichia spp. in Ruminants from Twelve Provinces of China

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016., 2016
Anaplasma spp. and Ehrlichia spp. are tick‐transmitted bacteria that are of significant economic importance as they can infect large and small ruminants and also people. There is little information on anaplasmosis and ehrlichiosis in ruminants in China.

Diversity of Rickettsia species in border regions of northwestern China

open access: yesParasites & Vectors, 2018
Background Rickettsia species belonging to the spotted fever group (SFG) cause infections in humans, domestic animals and wildlife. At least ten SFG Rickettsia species are known to occur in China.

A One‐Pot RPA‐CRISPR/Cas12a Assay for Rapid Genus‐Level Detection of Babesia spp. in Ticks and Livestock Blood Samples

open access: yesTransboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Babesiosis, a globally significant tick‐borne disease, poses substantial threats to livestock production and public health. Reported cases of human babesiosis in the United States increased from 1742 in 2014 to 3586 in 2023. In livestock, cattle babesiosis causes mortality, reduced meat and milk production, reproductive losses, and substantial control ...

Rural Residents in China Are at Increased Risk of Exposure to Tick‐Borne Pathogens Anaplasma phagocytophilum and Ehrlichia chaffeensis

open access: yesBioMed Research International, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
As emerging tick born rickettsial diseases caused by A. phagocytophilum and E. chaffeensis, anaplasmosis and ehrlichiosis have become a serious threat to human and animal health throughout the world. In particular, in China, an unusual transmission of nosocomial cases of human granulocytic anaplasmosis occurred in Anhui Province in 2006 and more recent

Beware of hitchhiking ticks? Clarifying the variable roles of bird species in tick movement along migratory routes

open access: yesJournal of Avian Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 3, May 2025.
Ticks are blood‐feeding parasites which act as major vectors for various pathogenic microorganisms affecting both animal and human health. Hard ticks are known to move passively (i.e. ‘hitchhike') on migratory birds as they transit between breeding and non‐breeding grounds.

Molecular Profiling of Ticks and Associated Pathogens: First Report of Rickettsia sibirica, Rickettsia slovaca, and Babesia microti in Ticks From Pakistan

open access: yesTransboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Global distribution of ticks and their associated tick‐borne pathogens (TBPs) presents substantial health concerns for both humans and animals. The present study aimed to investigate the distribution, morpho‐molecular identification, and associated TBPs of diverse tick species collected from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Punjab provinces of Pakistan ...

Insights from entire mitochondrial genome sequences into the phylogeny of ticks of the genera Haemaphysalis and Archaeocroton with the elevation of the subgenus Alloceraea Schulze, 1919 back to the status of a genus

open access: yesMedical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 38, Issue 2, Page 189-204, June 2024.
We sequenced the entire mt genomes of three species of tick for the first time: Bothriocroton auruginans, B. hydrosauri and H. (Kaiseriana) novaeguineae, and we sequenced the 18S rRNA gene of B. hydrosauri and H. (Kaiseriana) bancrofti. In our phylogenetic trees, Alloceraea was the sister to Archaeocroton sphenodonti, from New Zealand; to the exclusion

A Record of Morphological Anomalies in the Tick Dermacentor nuttalli Olenev (Acari: Ixodidae)

open access: yes, 2019
A previously undescribed malformed half-engorged female Dermacentor nuttalli was noticed in our tick specimen collection. This tick exhibited abnormal legs compared with normal D. nuttalli ticks. The first leg on the right side and the third leg on the left side were much smaller than normal ticks, and reduced to a small and degenerated appendix ...

Characterisation of putative novel tick viruses and zoonotic risk prediction

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 1, January 2024.
Tick‐borne viruses remain a substantial zoonotic risk worldwide, so knowledge of the diversity of tick viruses has potential health consequences. Through data mining and bioinformatic analyses of more than 37,800 public meta‐genomic and ‐transcriptomic data sets, we found five putative novel Alphatetra‐like viruses, four putative novel Orthomyxo‐like ...

Detection of Brucella in Dermacentor Ticks of Wild Boar with Brucellosis

open access: yesTransboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Brucellosis is a sanitary and economically relevant disease affecting humans, livestock, and wildlife. Ticks have been suggested as vectors, long‐term carriers, and amplifiers of Brucella. In this study, ticks from wildlife ungulate hosts living in hunting reserves of a central region of Spain were collected during a 6‐year period, pooled, and screened
