The importance of the tortoise tick Hyalomma aegyptium as a carrier of bacterial agents on a wide range

Ticks and Tick-Borne Diseases
Ticks are important vectors of various microorganisms, including bacteria. In this study, we examined Hyalomma aegyptium ticks collected from 240 spur-thighed tortoises Testudo graeca at 42 localities in the Mediterranean and Middle East and analysed ...

Hepatozoon kisrae n. sp. infecting the lizard Agama stellio is transmitted by the tick Hyalomma cf. aegyptium [PDF]

Parasite, 2002
Hepatozoon kisrae n. sp. was found infecting a starred lizard at a site in southeastern Samaria, Palestine. These lizards were also hosts to the ixodid tick Hyolomma cf. aegyptium, which was demonstrated to be the vector of this hemogregarine. Hepatozoon

Assessment of bacterial diversity in Hyalomma aegyptium, H. marginatum and H. excavatum ticks through tag-encoded pyrosequencing

Experimental and Applied Acarology, 2017
Ticks are among the most significant human-biting ectoparasites and they play a major role in transmission of many pathogenic agents to humans. In the present study, three species of Hyalomma ticks, Hyalomma aegyptium, H. marginatum and H. excavatum, were examined for the presence of zoonotic bacteria, both male and female ticks alike.

Mapping and monitoring tick (Acari, Ixodida) distribution, seasonality, and host associations in the United Kingdom between 2017 and 2020

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 37, Issue 1, Page 152-163, March 2023., 2023
The risk of tick‐borne disease is linked to the distribution, seasonal activity and host associations of vector species, all of which can be informed by surveillance and citizen science The Tick Surveillance Scheme (established since 2005) in the United Kingdom monitors distribution changes in Ixodes ricinus and other native or imported vector species ...

Molecular identification of zoonotic Rickettsia species in Ixodidae parasitizing wild lagomorphs from Mediterranean ecosystems

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 69, Issue 4, Page e992-e1004, July 2022., 2022
Abstract A survey study was carried out to identify tick species parasitizing wild lagomorphs in Mediterranean ecosystems in southern Spain and to determine the occurrence of Rickettsia species present in these ticks in this region. A total of 1304 European wild rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) and 58 Iberian hares (Lepus granatensis) were individually ...

Identification and mapping of potential and highly likely vectors for selected vector-borne diseases in the EU and neighbouring countries. [PDF]

EFSA J
Abstract This report addresses Term of Reference 1.2 by providing a comprehensive knowledge‐mapping of arthropod vector species competent to transmit selected vector‐borne diseases (VBDs) including VBDs listed under Regulation (EU) 2016/429 and Regulation (EU) 2020/687, as well as additional non‐listed pathogens with potential epidemiological relevance.

Presence of antibodies to Crimean Congo haemorrhagic fever virus in sheep in Tunisia, North Africa

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 7, Issue 6, Page 2323-2329, November 2021., 2021
This is the first report of Crimean Congo haemorrhagic fever virus seroprevalence in sheep in Tunisia. Despite the low seroprevalence, there is evidence of CCHFV introduction in Tunisia, may be through migratory birds carrying infected ticks from Europe.

First detection of Rickettsia aeschlimannii in Hyalomma aegyptium from Algeria [PDF]

Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2009
Tick-borne spotted fever group (SFG) rickettsioses are zoonoses caused by obligate intracellular Gram-negative bacteria belonging to the genus Rickettsia [1]. In Algeria, three species of SFG rickettsia transmitted by ticks are known to occur, including Rickettsia conorii conorii (the agent of Mediterranean spotted fever), transmitted by Rhipicephalus ...

Biodiversity Indices and Medically Importance of Ticks in North Khorasan Province, Northeast of Iran

Journal of Arthropod-Borne Diseases, 2021
Background: Ticks are considered as the main vectors for the transmission of various pathogens such as relapsing fever and CCHF to humans. This study was investigated the biodiversity indices and medically importance of ticks in North Khorasan Province ...
