Spatial Heterogeneity of Tick‐Borne Pathogens Outpaces Genetic Structuring in Anatolian Dermacentor reticulatus Populations

open access: yesTransboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Understanding how vector population structure influences pathogen circulation remains a major challenge in tick‐borne disease ecology, particularly in biogeographically transitional regions. Dermacentor reticulatus, a widespread Palearctic tick species and vector of multiple pathogens, provides a useful system to investigate this relationship in a ...

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

open access: yesActa 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.

Vasculitis associated with Ehrlichia canis and Babesia canis in a dog in the Netherlands

open access: yesVeterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 4, December 2025.
Abstract This report describes a case of severe, sudden‐onset, widespread vasculitis affecting a dog concurrently infected by Ehrlichia canis and Babesia canis. Following diagnostic investigations, the dog was suspected of an immune‐mediated vasculitis, possibly triggered by E. canis, B. canis or their combination. The lesions completely resolved after

Dermacentor reticulatus is a vector of tick-borne encephalitis virus

open access: yesTicks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2020
Tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV; family Flaviviridae) is the most medically important tick-borne virus in Europe and Asia. Ixodes ricinus and I. persulcatus ticks are considered to be the main vector ticks of TBEV in nature due to their specific ecological associations with the vertebrate hosts. Nevertheless, recent TBEV prevalence studies in ticks

A Case of Illness Following a Bite by a Male Lone Star Tick (Amblyomma americanum Linnaeus) Infected With Ehrlichia sp. and Rickettsia amblyommatis in Connecticut, United States

open access: yesClinical Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 9, September 2025.
A case of local lymphadenopathy and a flu‐like illness in a man, following a bite by a male lone star tick infected with Ehrlichia sp. and Rickettsia amblyommatis. ABSTRACT The lone star tick (Amblyomma americanum Linnaeus) is a species commonly found in the southeastern U.S., but in recent years its populations have expanded northward, resulting in an

Evolutionary Convergence of Nutritional Symbionts in Ticks

open access: yesEnvironmental 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 ...

New foci of Haemaphysalis punctata and Dermacentor reticulatus in the Netherlands

open access: yesTicks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2016
In 2014 Haemaphysalis punctata was found in several locations on the mainland of the Netherlands for the first time since 1897. In the same areas Dermacentor reticulatus and Ixodes ricinus were found. Haemaphysalis punctata and D. reticulatus were tested for presence of Babesia spp. and Rickettsia spp. by PCR. Babesia spp. and spotted fever Rickettsiae

Anaplasma Phagocytophilum, a Zoonotic Vector‐Borne Bacterial Species in Rodents and Its Associated Tick Vector: Systematic Review

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 3, May 2025.
A. phagocytophilum infections have been detected from various rodent hosts and the associated ticks from different sites throughout the globe. Ixodes ticks were the most frequent tick observed in the studies, followed by Dermacentor tick and Haemaphysalis tick species. Apodemus rodent species were frequently observed, followed by Microtus spp.

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.

Microsatellite-based genetic diversity of Dermacentor reticulatus in Europe

open access: yesInfection, Genetics and Evolution, 2018
Dermacentor reticulatus, also known as ornate dog tick, is an important vector of the causative agents of various tick-borne diseases in humans, livestock and wild animals. The geographical range of D. reticulatus in Europe is fragmented and divided into two main zones: The Western European and the Eastern European zone. To investigate D.
