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.

Screening for Rickettsia, Coxiella and Borrelia Species in Ticks from Queensland, Australia
Pathogens, 2020 Tick bites in Australia are linked to the transmission of a variety of infectious diseases in humans, livestock and wildlife. Despite this recognition, little is currently known about the variety of potential pathogens that are carried and transmitted by

Potential New Records of Mites in Australia Based on Citizen Science (Acariformes, Parasitiformes)
Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 2, May 2026.ABSTRACT This paper reports on 10 species, 10 genera and 1 family of mites that are recorded in the iNaturalist database but otherwise not recorded from Australia. They include five species of plant parasites in the family Eriophyidae that may be economically important pests.

Increased genetic diversity and prevalence of co-infection with Trypanosoma spp. in koalas (Phascolarctos cinereus) and their ticks identified using next-generation sequencing (NGS). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Infections with Trypanosoma spp. have been associated with poor health and decreased survival of koalas (Phascolarctos cinereus), particularly in the presence of concurrent pathogens such as Chlamydia and koala retrovirus. The present study describes the

Wildlife Letters, Volume 3, Issue 4, Page 173-193, December 2025.Spectacled flying‐fox Pteropus conspicillatus populations have declined so seriously over two decades that they are now endangered. Inaction has allowed threats to increase. Extreme heat events are now a lethal reality, habitat loss continues almost unabated, and pressure to disperse roosts is ever‐present. Obtaining resources and taking action to help

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 ...
