Epidemiology and risk factors of Lyme disease in Taiwan from 2007 to 2020

Journal of Medical Sciences, 2023
Background: Lyme disease or Lyme borreliosis is the most commonly transmitted tick-borne infection in the United States and among the most frequently diagnosed tick-borne infections worldwide. Lyme disease is caused by Borrelia burgdorferi.

No Detection of Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Virus in Hard Ticks (Ixodidae) from a Highly Endemic Area in Southeast Iran

Journal of Medical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, 2022
Introduction: Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF) is a zoonotic viral infection transmitted mainly via CCHF virus-infected ticks between vertebrate hosts. The disease occurs in almost all provinces of Iran.

Exon-intron structure and sequence variation of the calreticulin gene among Rhipicephalus sanguineus group ticks [PDF]

, 2016
Background: Calreticulin proteins (CRTs) are important components of tick saliva, which is involved in the blood meal success, pathogen transmission and host allergic responses.

In vitro feeding assays for hard ticks [PDF]

Trends in Parasitology, 2007
Prevention of tick bites and transmission of tick-borne pathogens requires the use of molecules that target physiological processes crucial to both tick and pathogen survival. These molecules are best tested in standardized in vitro assays. Because hard ticks require several days to feed to repletion, the development of in vitro feeding assays for ...

Borrelia spirochetes in European exotic farm animals

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2022
Ticks transmit a broad spectrum of pathogens, threatening both animal and human health. Tick survival and proliferation are strongly dependent on host selection and suitability. The hard tick Ixodes ricinus, which is widespread throughout most of Europe,

A meta-analysis of host specificity in Neotropical hard ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) [PDF]

, 2013
Host specificity of Neotropical hard ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) was analyzed by using the number of hosts species for each tick species and the index of host specificity STD*, which integrates phylogenetic and ecological information. The analyses were based

Neuropeptides in Rhipicephalus microplus and other hard ticks

Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2022
The synganglion is the central nervous system of ticks and, as such, controls tick physiology. It does so through the production and release of signaling molecules, many of which are neuropeptides. These peptides can function as neurotransmitters, neuromodulators and/or neurohormones, although in most cases their functions remain to be established.

Influence of the biotope on the tick infestation of cattle and on the tick-borne pathogen repertoire of cattle ticks in Ethiopia [PDF]

, 2014
Background: The majority of vector-borne infections occur in the tropics, including Africa, but molecular eco- epidemiological studies are seldom reported from these regions.

Coendangered hard-ticks: threatened or threatening? [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2011
The overwhelming majority of animal conservation projects are focused on vertebrates, despite most of the species on Earth being invertebrates. Estimates state that about half of all named species of invertebrates are parasitic in at least one stage of their development.

Hard ticks in Burmese amber with Australasian affinities

Parasitology, 2022
AbstractThree examples of metastriate hard ticks (Ixodida: Ixodidae) with apparent affinities to modern Australasian genera are described from the mid-Cretaceous (ca. 100 Ma) Burmese amber of Myanmar. Two nymphs of Bothriocroton muelleri sp. nov. represent the oldest (and only) fossil record of this genus, living members of which are restricted to ...
