Seasonality, Moisture, and Host Community Structure of Haemaphysalis Ticks in a Subtropical Urban Mosaic in Hong Kong, China. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We integrated field surveys, DNA barcoding and integrative taxonomy, iDNA, and ecological modeling to resolve the distributions, seasonality, and host use of Haemaphysalis ticks across Hong Kong. Moisture was indicative of adult activity, and iDNA suggested predominant feeding on wild mammals, particularly wild boar and porcupine.

Langat Virus Biology and Infection. [PDF]

Rev Med Virol
ABSTRACT Flaviviruses pose a major threat to global health and can cause severe disease in animals and humans. Among them, tick‐borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) and related members of the tick‐borne encephalitis (TBE) serocomplex are transmitted primarily by ticks and can lead to neurological disease, including encephalitis and death. Despite many years
