Are ticks venomous animals? [PDF]
, 2017 [Introduction]: As an ecological adaptation venoms have evolved independently in several species of Metazoa. As haematophagous arthropods ticks are mainly considered as ectoparasites due to directly feeding on the skin of animal hosts. Ticks are of major

Cryptic species diversity in ticks that transmit disease in Australia
International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2019 Ticks are important vectors of a broad range of pathogens in Australia. Many tick species are morphologically similar and are therefore difficult to identify using morphology alone, particularly when collected in the larval and nymphal life stages.

Global trend of food‐induced anaphylaxis: Up to date
Pediatric Allergy and Immunology, Volume 36, Issue 12, December 2025.Abstract This review examines the evolving global landscape of food‐induced anaphylaxis (FIA), revealing critical epidemiological shifts that challenge traditional allergen management paradigms. As the leading cause of anaphylaxis worldwide, FIA demonstrates striking geographic, age‐specific, and temporal patterns that reflect broader changes in ...
