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.

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 ...

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.
