Molecular Genetics of Hepatozoon canis With a Note on Effect of Parasite on the Complete Blood Count Profile of Canine Hosts

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
A total of 654 blood samples were collected from healthy dogs in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provinces in Pakistan and screened for the presence of Hepatozoon canis. Genetic diversity of the detected H. canis DNA, infection‐associated risk factors, and changes in the complete blood count of the host due to parasitic activity were also evaluated.

Distribution of Tick Vectors of Severe Fever with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome Virus (SFTSV) Collected from Four Environments in Jeju

Korean Journal of Clinical Laboratory Science, 2020
The distribution of ticks and severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV) pathogens were investigated by collecting ticks from March to November 2018 in four environments (grass fields, copses, mountain roads, and tombs) in Jeju.

Molecular detection and characterization of zoonotic and veterinary pathogens in ticks from northeastern China

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Tick-borne diseases are considered as emerging infectious diseases in humans and animals in China. In this study, Ixodes persulcatus (n=1699), Haemaphysalis concinna (n=412), Haemaphysalis longicornis (n=390), Dermacentor nuttalli (n=253), and ...

Complete mitochondrial genome of Asian longhorned tick, Haemaphysalis longicornis, Neumann, 1901 (Acari: Ixodida: Ixodidae) identified in the United States

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2021
Haemaphysalis longicornis (Ixodida: Ixodidae), the Asian longhorned tick, which is native to temperate East Asia, has been recently detected in the northeastern region of the United States, drawing concerns about its potential impact on the US animal and

Metabolite Variations in Lepidium sativum Seeds Among Different Germplasms: Unraveling the Link Between Environment and Chemical Compounds

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
Comparative phytochemical analysis of Lepidium sativum seed populations revealed environmentally driven variation in essential oil composition, while fatty acid profiles remained largely stable across populations. Benzyl nitrile was the dominant essential oil constituent, α‐linolenic acid was the major fatty acid, and all populations exhibited weak ...

Challenging the Clinical Paradigm of Hepatozoon canis: A Primary Pathogen Causing Clinically Significant Disease at Low Parasitaemia and a Chronic Inflammatory State

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 4, July 2026.
Hepatozoon canis causes significant clinical disease even at low parasitaemia and induces chronic subclinical anaemia and inflammation in dogs. Lack of tick control is the main modifiable risk factor. Molecular diagnosis is far more sensitive than microscopy, challenging the traditional view that disease severity depends solely on parasite burden ...

Tick‐Tac‐Foe: When Ticks, Trade, and Zoonotic Pathogens Align in African Wet Meat Markets

Public Health Challenges, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
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.

Early Tick Species Identification Using Eschar‐Based PCR to Guide Presymptomatic Risk Assessment in Tick‐Borne Diseases

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT In endemic regions where simultaneous larval tick bites frequently occur, early identification of tick species from eschar lesions may substantially influence presymptomatic clinical triage. We report a 78‐year‐old woman who was found after approximately 24 h of wandering, presenting with multiple clustered eschars on the lower extremities and

Seasonal activities, morphological characteristics, and veterinary importance of Haemaphysalis mageshimaensis in Ishigaki and Yonaguni, Okinawa, Japan

Ticks and Tick-Borne Diseases
Ticks are of veterinary importance as they transmit various pathogens to animals. In Yaeyama, Okinawa, Japan, Haemaphysalis longicornis became the dominant tick species after the eradication of Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus in the 1990s.
