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.

Dermacentor variabilis (Ixodida: Ixodidae) in Panama: report associated with tourism [PDF]
Journal of Vector Ecology, 2010 Ticks are the principal vectors of several pathogenic agents in animals and can transmit disease agents to humans (Dantas-Torres et al. 2009). The global tourism industry, international pet commerce, and the general expansion of international travel have facilitated the transportation of ticks to new localities outside their natural distributions.

Integrative Zoology, Volume 20, Issue 2, Page 315-330, March 2025.We summarize the recent progress in understanding defense mechanisms in specific tissues or sites that are encountered by arboviruses and discuss their possible roles in virus infection or transmission. Abstract Ticks can transmit many pathogens, including arboviruses, to their vertebrate hosts.

The Correlation of Francisella tularensis on Size and Supercooling of Dermacentor variabilis
International Journal of Biology, 2018 Overwintering tick survival is essential for the continuation of a tick’s lifecycle. Recent studies have found that infections with particular microorganisms can alter the physiology of ticks and, in some cases, increase their cold hardiness. To date, the influence of Francisella tularensis on Dermacentor variabilis (Say) has not been studied and thus ...
