Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT From blood‐sucking lice and food‐stealing gulls to pandemic‐inducing viruses and egg‐eating snakes: parasites and predators are ubiquitous in shaping ecology and evolution. Fundamental to these interactions is the way in which parasites and predators choose their victim. Here, I argue that a trade‐off between host quality and vulnerability can

Current Distribution of Selected Vector‐borne Diseases in Domestic Dogs From Bucharest, Romania
Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 4, July 2025.Serological testing of 317 dogs in Bucharest (2020‐2024) revealed an overall Canine vector‐borne diseases (CVBD) seroprevalence of 8.8%, with Dirofilaria immitis (12.62%) being the most common. Shelter and older dogs had higher infection rates. Climate change and vector expansion may influence pathogen spread, underscoring the need for enhanced ...

A Computer Vision Approach to Combat Lyme Disease [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Lyme disease is an infectious disease transmitted to humans by a bite from an infected Ixodes species (blacklegged ticks). It is one of the fastest growing vector-borne illness in North America and is expanding its geographic footprint. Lyme disease treatment is time-sensitive, and can be cured by administering an antibiotic (prophylaxis) to the ...

Immunological Reviews, Volume 332, Issue 1, July 2025.ABSTRACT The primary features of the alpha‐gal syndrome (AGS) are (i) The IgE ab that are causally related to anaphylaxis with infusions of Cetuximab are specific for galactose alpha‐1,3‐galactose. (ii) In the USA, this IgE ab is induced by bites of the tick Amblyomma americanum. (iii) The anaphylactic reactions to food derived from non‐primate mammals

Positive Molecular Detection of Rickettsia helvetica in Great Tits From Central Poland
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2025.Great Tits were trapped in central Poland from three different habitats: a suburban forest, an urban park, and green patches near the city center. Ixodes ricinus species and samples of birds blood were collected from birds. Blood samples and ticks were molecularly tested for the presence of Rickettsia. Tick infestation was low at 5.5%.

New horizons in the pharmacological management of venous thromboembolism
HemaSphere, Volume 9, Issue 6, June 2025.Abstract Many patients suffer from venous thromboembolism (VTE) and its consequences. Despite substantial advancements with the introduction of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs), patients and clinicians still encounter challenges in the acute and long‐term management of VTE, such as recurrent events, anticoagulant‐related bleeding complications, and ...
