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 ...

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

Veterinary 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.

Microsatellite-based genetic diversity of Dermacentor reticulatus in Europe

Infection, 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.

Development of Dermacentor reticulatus ticks in human household conditions

Journal of Pest Science, 2023
AbstractCompanion dogs are at risk of tick infestations. This paper describes cases of transfer of Dermacentor reticulatus ticks by dogs to apartments in eastern Poland, tick development in household conditions, and potential consequences for the residents. For the first time, the preoviposition and oviposition of D.

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.

Opinion and report of the French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety (ANSES) on the assessment of the impact of fox population dynamics on public health

Food Risk Assess Europe, Volume 3, Issue 2, April 2025.
ABSTRACT The Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes) can be hunted as a game species. It may also be listed as a “species likely to cause damage” (ESOD – the acronym in French), for public health reasons among others. Conversely, benefits linked to the presence of foxes are also put forward, such as the predation of rodents carrying zoonotic agents.
