Genetic diversity of vector-borne pathogens in spotted and brown hyenas from Namibia and Tanzania relates to ecological conditions rather than host taxonomy

Parasites & Vectors, 2021
Background Improved knowledge on vector-borne pathogens in wildlife will help determine their effect on host species at the population and individual level and whether these are affected by anthropogenic factors such as global climate change and ...

Metabarcoding using nanopore long‐read sequencing for the unbiased characterization of apicomplexan haemoparasites

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 24, Issue 2, February 2024.
Abstract Apicomplexan haemoparasites generate significant morbidity and mortality in humans and other animals, particularly in many low‐to‐middle income countries. Malaria caused by Plasmodium remains responsible for some of the highest numbers of annual deaths of any human pathogen, whilst piroplasmids, such as Babesia and Theileria can have immense ...

Assessing the natural circulation of canine vector-borne pathogens in foxes, ticks and fleas in protected areas of Argentine Patagonia with negligible dog participation

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2019
We collected blood and/or ectoparasites from 49 South American grey foxes (Lycalopex griseus) and two Andean foxes (L. culpaeus) caught in two National Parks of southern Argentine Patagonia (Bosques Petrificados, BPNP; and Monte León, MLNP) where dogs ...

Historical associations and spatiotemporal changes of pathogen presence in ticks in Canada: A systematic review

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 71, Issue 1, Page 18-33, February 2024.
Abstract Background Starting in the early 20th century, ticks and their pathogens have been detected during surveillance efforts in Canada. Since then, the geographic spread of tick vectors and tick‐borne pathogens has steadily increased in Canada with the establishment of tick and host populations.

Isolation and Genetic Characterization of the Human Relapsing Fever Spirochete Borrelia persica from a Dog with Improved Cultivation Techniques

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Borrelia persica is the causative agent of tick‐borne relapsing fever in Israel and is prevalent in the Eastern Mediterranean basin and parts of Asia. Infection with B. persica causes severe illness and potentially life‐threatening complications in humans and companion animals. Isolation and in vitro cultivation of B.

Molecular characterization of Hepatozoon spp. in cats living in Germany and other European countries

Ticks and Tick-Borne Diseases
Hepatozoon spp. are increasingly reported in cats from Mediterranean countries, but data for Central and Northern Europe remain limited. This study investigated the occurrence and molecular diversity of Hepatozoon spp.
