Discordant phylogeographic patterns between the tortoise tick Hyalomma aegyptium and their Testudo graeca hosts

Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2022
Tortoise ticks, Hyalomma aegyptium, are considered so strongly associated with their hosts that they are even used as indirect indicators for them. In such a case, a robust pattern of congruence between host and parasite could be expected, with phylogeographic breaks within the host being reflected in their parasites.

Diversity of Coxiella-like and Francisella-like endosymbionts, and Rickettsia spp., Coxiella burnetii as pathogens in the tick populations of Slovakia, Central Europe [PDF]

, 2018
Ticks are important vectors of pathogens affecting humans and animals worldwide. They do not only carry pathogens but diverse commensal and symbiotic microorganisms are also present in ticks.

The Iranian Hyalomma (Acari: Ixodidae) with a key to the identification of male species

Persian Journal of Acarology, 2013
The taxonomic status of ticks in the genus Hyalomma, as prominent vectors of domestic animal and human pathogen agents as well as hematophagous parasites of all terrestrial animals has a problematic history due to variability. The present paper is based

Borrelia turcica sp. nov., isolated from the hard tick Hyalomma aegyptium in Turkey [PDF]

International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2004
Previously, a novel, fast-growing spirochaete was isolated from the hard tick Hyalomma aegyptium, which infests tortoises (Testudo graeca), by using Barbour-Stoenner-Kelly (BSK) II medium; the tick samples were taken from the Istanbul area in northwestern Turkey [Güner et al. (2003). Microbiology 149, 2539-2544].

Acaricidal and Repellent Effects of Essential Oils against Ticks: A Review [PDF]

, 2021
Tick control is a priority in order to prevent the transmission of vector-borne diseases. Industrial chemical acaricides and repellents have been the most efficient tools against hard ticks for a long time.

Biogeography of Tick‐Borne Bhanja Virus (Bunyaviridae) in Europe

Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Infectious Diseases, Volume 2009, Issue 1, 2009., 2009
Bhanja virus (BHAV) is pathogenic for young domestic ruminants and also for humans, causing fever and affections of the central nervous system. This generally neglected arbovirus of the family Bunyaviridae is transmitted by metastriate ticks of the genera Haemaphysalis, Dermacentor, Hyalomma, Rhipicephalus, Boophilus, and Amblyomma.

Molecular investigation of tick-borne pathogens from different regions of Morocco

Ticks and Tick-Borne Diseases
Tick-borne pathogens are a worldwide threat to public health that can only be mitigated by knowledge on tick-host associations coupled with surveillance of their infection by pathogenic microorganisms. This information is not equally available throughout
