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

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
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.

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.

Microbiota of Haemaphysalis longicornis Tick in Korea

The FASEB Journal, 2022
Ticks can transmit pathogenic bacteria, protozoa, and viruses to humans and animals. In this study, we investigated the microbiomes of Haemaphysalis longicornis according to sex and life stages. The Shannon index was significantly higher for nymphs than adult ticks.

Candidatus Rickettsia xinyangensis as Cause of Spotted Fever Group Rickettsiosis, Xinyang, China, 2015

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2020
In 2015, we evaluated 221 patients with undifferentiated fever and tick bite or animal exposure in Xinyang, China, for Rickettsia infection. Three with mild disease were infected with Candidatus R. xinyangensis, which clustered with R.

Are ticks venomous animals? [PDF]

, 2017
[Introduction]: As an ecological adaptation venoms have evolved independently in several species of Metazoa. As haematophagous arthropods ticks are mainly considered as ectoparasites due to directly feeding on the skin of animal hosts. Ticks are of major

RNAi Regulator C3PO Promotes Arbovirus Infection in Insect Vectors

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 4, 19 January 2026.
RNA interference (RNAi) is vital for eukaryotes to defend against virus infection. The C3PO complex takes part in RNAi but its role in regulating viral infection remains unclear. This work finds that insect C3PO facilitates arbovirus replication by degrading precursors of miRNAs, especially miR‐971‐3p.

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.

Distribution of Ticks and Prevalence of Tick‐Borne Pathogens in Multiple Regions of China

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Ticks and tick‐borne pathogens pose significant threats to livestock and public health. While tick occurrences have been reported in China, systematic assessments of pathogen risk factors across diverse hosts and regions remain limited. This study investigated tick distribution, prevalence, and associated pathogen infections across seven sampling sites

Anaplasma species detected in Haemaphysalis longicornis tick from China

Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2018
Anaplasma are tick-borne obligatory intracellular bacteria, which infect humans and other animals. The Anaplasma species carried by ticks in China are not well studied. We collected 3145 questing Haemaphysalis longicornis ticks including 120 larvae, 2460 nymphs and 565 adults from vegetation in Jiaonan County, Shandong Province, China from 2013 to 2015.

A One Health Assessment of Tick and Tick‐Borne Pathogen Diversity and Zoonotic Risk in Hubei Province, Central China

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Ticks and tick‐borne pathogens (TBPs) threaten livestock productivity and public health worldwide, and climate–land‐use change is expanding vector habitats, elevating tick‐borne disease risk. However, TBP diversity and risk in Hubei Province, central China, remain insufficiently defined within a One Health framework.
