Beware of hitchhiking ticks? Clarifying the variable roles of bird species in tick movement along migratory routes

Journal of Avian Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 3, May 2025.
Ticks are blood‐feeding parasites which act as major vectors for various pathogenic microorganisms affecting both animal and human health. Hard ticks are known to move passively (i.e. ‘hitchhike') on migratory birds as they transit between breeding and non‐breeding grounds.

Natural hybridization of the ticks Ixodes persulcatus and Ixodes pavlovskyi in their sympatric populations in Western Siberia

Infection, Genetics and Evolution, 2015
Hybridization of ticks of the genus Ixodes has been described for several species under laboratory conditions although no molecular genetics evidence confirming interspecific hybridization in nature is available. We have designed a real time PCR targeted on nuclear (ITS2) and mitochondrial (cox1) markers to accurately identify tick species and to ...

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.

Global Prevalence of Anaplasma phagocytophilum in Cattle: A One Health Perspective, Meta‐Analysis and Future Predictions (up to 2035)

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 2, March 2025.
GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT ✓ Bovine anaplasmosis is a major tick‐borne disease affecting cattle herds. ✓ The global prevalence of Anaplasma phagocytophilum in cattle was 8.5%. ✓ Mongolia and Guatemala were countries accounted for the highest prevalence. ✓ Anaplasma phagocytophilum was most prevalent in cattle African region and Hot‐summer Mediterranean climate.

Anaplasma phagocytophilum–infected Ticks, Japan

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2005
We report Anaplasma phagocytophilum infection of Ixodes persulcatus and I. ovatus ticks in Japan. Unique p44/msp2 paralogs (and/or 16S rRNA genes) were detected in tick tissues, salivary glands, and spleens of experimentally infected mice. These findings

The study of anaplasma and ehrlichia genetic variability in parasitic systems in the South-Western Siberia and Ural

Бюллетень сибирской медицины, 2006
Ehrlichia muris and Anaplasma phagocytophilum DNA were detected using nested PCR among Ixodes persulcatus collected in Novosibirsk, Sverdlovsk and Chelyabinsk regions and in blood samples of small mammals from Novosibirsk and Sverdlovsk re- gions.

Diversity Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato in natural foci of Novosibirsk region

Бюллетень сибирской медицины, 2006
PCR assays were used to test sample from Ixodes persulcatus, blood and tissues of small mammals, human blood after tick bi- tes, as well as isolates from adult ticks. It was demonstrated the presence of two Borrelia species: B. garinii and B.

[The lysozyme of Ixodes persulcatus ticks].

Meditsinskaia parazitologiia i parazitarnye bolezni, 1990
Using a technique based on specific enzyme sorption by chitin (beta-1-4-N-acetylglucosamine), lysozyme with a molecular mass of 15,000 has been isolated from homogenates of the Ix. persulcatus ticks. Micrococci and staphylococci proved to be most sensitive to lysozyme from the Ix. persulcatus ticks, while E. coli and Salmonella were less sensitive. The
