ABSTRACT Bacteria of the order Rickettsiales comprise a diverse group of obligate intracellular microorganisms that are globally distributed and highly prevalent in tropical and subtropical regions. In South America, these bacteria have been associated with arthropod vectors, such as ticks, fleas, mites, lice, and certain dipterans, as well as with a ...

Natural history of Ehrlichia ruminantium [PDF]
Ehrlichia ruminantium is an obligately intracellular proteobacterium which causes a disease known as heartwater or cowdriosis in some wild, and all domestic, ruminants. The organism is transmitted by ticks of the genus Amblyomma, and it is of serious economic importance wherever the natural vectors occur, an area which includes all of sub-Saharan ...

Tick‐Tac‐Foe: When Ticks, Trade, and Zoonotic Pathogens Align in African Wet Meat Markets
ABSTRACT Zoonotic diseases account for over ∼60% of infectious diseases and present a significantly growing fatality threat in Africa. Live and wet markets (LWMs) in Africa function as key economic venues that support human livelihoods through social interaction and trade in food stuff, including meat and other animal‐based products.

Eight percent of this cohort of patients had a latent Neoehrlichia mikurensis infection. It was only the latently infected patients who had N. mikurensis‐specific T cells, not the matched B‐cell lymphoma patients without the infection. The T‐cell responses of latently infected patients included perforin‐expressing Th1 and CD8+ T cells that upregulated ...

Tick‐borne pathogen interactions enhance transmission in cattle and ticks in Ogun, Nigeria
Abstract Tick‐borne diseases (TBDs) pose a major public health concern in tropical regions, where co‐infections and pathogen interactions complicate disease control. Understanding how these interactions vary across vertebrate hosts and tick vectors, and their impact on disease transmission, is crucial for developing effective intervention strategies ...

Successful Management of Septic Splenitis in an Abyssinian Cat
A 3.5‐year‐old female neutered Abyssinian with pyrexia of unknown origin and splenomegaly was diagnosed with septic splenitis. Complete resolution of clinical signs followed splenectomy and antibiotic treatment with pradofloxacin. Septic splenitis, although uncommon, should be considered as a differential diagnosis in patients with splenomegaly and ...
