Ticks (Acari: Ixodoidea) in China: Geographical distribution, host diversity, and specificity

Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, Volume 102, Issue 3, November 2019., 2019
Ticks distribute in whole regions of China, and their distributions are mainly influenced by habitat environment. Most ticks feed on different hosts, only a few ticks have strict host specificity. Abstract Ticks are obligate blood‐sucking ectoparasites, which not only directly damage through bites but also transmit many pathogens.

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

Canadian 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.

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

BioMed 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

Journal 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

Transboundary 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 ...

Age-dependent dynamics of Theileria equi and Babesia caballi infections in southwest Mongolia based on IFAT and/or PCR prevalence data from domestic horses and ticks [PDF]

, 2017
Epidemiological factors of tick-borne equine piroplasmoses, caused by Theileria equi and Babesia caballi, were investigated using logistic regression (GLM) and general additive models (GAM) based on the prevalences determined in 510 domestic horses and ...

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

Medical 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
