Harnessing 50 years of tick population genetics: Choosing the right molecular tool for contemporary research

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 94, Issue 11, Page 2159-2177, November 2025.
Population genetics reveals how ticks interact with hosts, microbiomes and environments. This review guides researchers in choosing the best tool for the job, weighing cost, resolution, reproducibility and throughput to study tick population structure. Abstract Ticks are ectoparasites of major medical, veterinary and ecological importance, transmitting

Tick paralysis in spectacled flying-foxes (Pteropus conspicillatus) in North Queensland, Australia: impact of a ground-dwelling ectoparasite finding an arboreal host.

PLoS ONE, 2013
When a parasite finds a new wildlife host, impacts can be significant. In the late 1980s populations of Spectacled Flying-foxes (SFF) (Pteropus conspicillatus), a species confined, in Australia, to north Queensland became infected by paralysis tick ...

Discovery of a novel iflavirus sequence in the eastern paralysis tick Ixodes holocyclus [PDF]

Archives of Virology, 2018
Ixodes holocyclus, the eastern paralysis tick, is a significant parasite in Australia in terms of animal and human health. However, very little is known about its virome. In this study, next-generation sequencing of I. holocyclus salivary glands yielded a full-length genome sequence which phylogenetically groups with viruses classified in the ...

Clinical and Pathologic Characterization of Proteinuric Kidney Disease in Australian and New Zealand Dogs

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, Volume 39, Issue 4, July/August 2025.
ABSTRACT Background The prevalence of immune complex‐mediated glomerulonephropathy (ICGN) in dogs with proteinuric kidney disease is approximately 50% in the United States and Europe but is unknown in other locations such as Australia and New Zealand.

Causes of mortality and morbidity in the endangered southern brown bandicoot (Isoodon obesulus obesulus)

Australian Veterinary Journal, Volume 103, Issue 3, Page 138-148, March 2025.
The southern brown bandicoot (Isoodon obesulus obesulus) is a small, endangered, Australian, ground‐dwelling marsupial. Apart from isolated necropsy reports, there has not been a systematic investigation into the health and causes of death for this species.

Alpha‐Gal, epitope responsible for allergy to red meat, in the Mediterranean tick Hyalomma lusitanicum

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 38, Issue 3, Page 366-371, September 2024.
The presence of α‐Gal epitope ( was confirmed by the presence of reactive proteins of >250 kDa in samples from engorged and unfed H. lusitanicum ticks. The highest concentrations of α‐Gal were detected in salivary glands. Neither sex nor diet influenced the concentration of α‐Gal, which seems to indicate its endogenous production and its possible ...
