Gaps and opportunities in on‐host winter tick (Dermacentor albipictus) surveillance in North America

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 89, Issue 4, May 2025.
The investigation and management of the impacts of winter tick infestations on moose in North America necessitates coordinated surveillance and intervention efforts. The current absence of searching for winter ticks on other potential ungulate hosts, largely based on historical beliefs of predilection from limited captive studies, has created a ...

There Goes the Neighbourhood—A Multi‐City Study Reveals Ticks and Tick‐Borne Pathogens Commonly Occupy Urban Green Spaces

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 72, Issue 3, Page 313-323, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Introduction Humans acquire tick‐borne pathogens (TBPs) from infected ticks contacted during outdoor activities. Outdoor activity is at its highest in urban green spaces, where the presence of tick populations has increasingly been observed. Consequently, more insight into factors influencing the presence of ticks therein is needed.

A Systematic Review on the Prevalence of Tick‐Borne Encephalitis Virus in Milk and Milk Products in Europe

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 72, Issue 3, Page 248-258, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Tick‐borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) is one of the most significant zoonotic diseases in Europe. It primarily spreads through the bites of infected ticks and, less frequently, through consumption of raw milk and dairy products from viremic domestic ruminants.

Host–Pathogen–Vector Continuum in a Changing Landscape: Potential Transmission Pathways for Bartonella in a Small Mammal Community

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2025.
This study focuses on Bartonella spp. (a Gram‐negative bacteria) in small mammals and their ectoparasites within a rainforest human‐use landscape. We found that a high proportion (40.56%) of the tested small mammals across five species and two sites carry Bartonella, with prevalence being positively correlated with aggregated ectoparasite load. Despite

Alpha‐Gal Sensitization Dynamics in Individuals After Tick Bites With or Without Erythema Migrans

Clinical &Experimental Allergy, Volume 55, Issue 4, Page 350-353, April 2025.
ABSTRACT α‐Gal syndrome (AGS) is an emerging tick‐borne disease characterised by the development of specific immunoglobulin E (sIgE) antibodies against galactose‐α‐1,3‐galactose (α‐gal), a carbohydrate found in most mammalian species, but not in humans. AGS occurs in individuals with a history of tick bites.

Data-driven predictions and novel hypotheses about zoonotic tick vectors from the genus Ixodes

BMC Ecology, 2018
Background With the resurgence of tick-borne diseases such as Lyme disease and the emergence of new tick-borne pathogens such as Powassan virus, understanding what distinguishes vectors from non-vectors, and predicting undiscovered tick vectors is a ...

The Release of Non‐Native Gamebirds Is Associated With Amplified Zoonotic Disease Risk

Ecology Letters, Volume 28, Issue 4, April 2025.
Spillback is potentially an important mechanism by which non‐natives contribute to zoonotic disease emergence. We capitalise on quasi‐experimental releases of non‐native pheasants (Phasianus colchicus) to compare native pathogen prevalence between sites with similar local conditions but different non‐native densities. Prevalence of Borrelia sp.

Molecular screening for tick-borne bacteria and hematozoa in Ixodes cf. boliviensis and Ixodes tapirus (Ixodida: Ixodidae) from western highlands of Panama

Current Research in Parasitology and Vector-Borne Diseases, 2021
The first molecular screening for Rickettsia, Anaplasma, Ehrlichia, Borrelia, Babesia and Hepatozoon was carried out in questing Ixodes cf. boliviensis and Ixodes tapirus from Talamanca Mountains, Panama, using specific primers, sequencing and phylogeny.
