Ecological and Epidemiological Consequences of Tick‐Control Interventions in Residential Neighborhoods: A Synthesis of The Tick Project

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Controlling populations of Ixodes ticks has emerged as a core strategy for reducing human exposure to tick‐borne infections. Several means of reducing the size of the tick population using chemical and biological acaricides show promise in field trials and are frequently used commercially in North America and Europe.

Transfection of Babesia duncani: A Genetic Toolbox of This Pathogen to Advance Babesia Biology

Bio-Protocol
Human babesiosis is a tick-borne disease caused by Babesia pathogens. The disease, which presents with malaria-like symptoms, can be life-threatening, especially in individuals with weakened immune systems and the elderly.

Ecological dynamics of blacklegged ticks, vertebrate hosts, and associated zoonotic pathogens in northeastern forests

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Specific host‐tick interactions in temperate forest systems influence variation in density and infection prevalence of nymphal blacklegged tick (Ixodes scapularis). The density of infected nymphs (DIN), which is the product of nymphal infection prevalence (NIP) and density of questing nymphs (DON), influences the risk of human exposure to tick‐

Vasculitis associated with Ehrlichia canis and Babesia canis in a dog in the Netherlands

Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 4, December 2025.
Abstract This report describes a case of severe, sudden‐onset, widespread vasculitis affecting a dog concurrently infected by Ehrlichia canis and Babesia canis. Following diagnostic investigations, the dog was suspected of an immune‐mediated vasculitis, possibly triggered by E. canis, B. canis or their combination. The lesions completely resolved after

Highly divergent apicomplexan cytoskeletons provide additional models for actin biology

The FEBS Journal, Volume 292, Issue 24, Page 6459-6480, December 2025.
Actin is a highly conserved, abundant and central molecule in eukaryotes. Apicomplexans contain some of the most sequence‐divergent actin cytoskeletons known. This divergence results in overlapping yet different biochemical properties. Here, we highlight the remarkable divergence of the actin cytoskeleton by comparing apicomplexan to classical systems,
