Insights on the phenology of the Asian longhorned tick (Haemaphysalis longicornis) using stored lipids

Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 1, Page 396-406, February 2026.
Lipid analysis of field‐collected ticks unveiled a complex population structure and supports the potential for several stages to overwinter. Abstract The seasonality of Haemaphysalis longicornis in the United States comprises overlapping life stages in the spring and summer.

MicroRNAs from saliva of anopheline mosquitoes mimic human endogenous miRNAs and may contribute to vector-host-pathogen interactions [PDF]

, 2019
During blood feeding haematophagous arthropods inject into their hosts a cocktail of salivary proteins whose main role is to counteract host haemostasis, inflammation and immunity. However, animal body fluids are known to also carry miRNAs.

A blood safety perspective on emerging arboviral infections in the United Kingdom

Transfusion Medicine, Volume 36, Issue 1, Page 10-19, February 2026.
Abstract A core focus of the blood services is to maintain the blood supply whilst simultaneously being vigilant for potential threats to blood safety. At present, West Nile virus (WNV), Usutu virus (USUV), Dengue virus (DENV) and Tick‐borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) are considered primary arboviral threats to blood safety in the UK and Northern Europe.

Ixodes ricinus as potential vector for Usutu virus. [PDF]

PLoS Negl Trop Dis
Usutu virus (USUV) is an emerging flavivirus that is maintained in an enzootic cycle with mosquitoes as vectors and birds as amplifying hosts. In Europe, the virus has caused mass mortality of wild birds, mainly among Common Blackbird (Turdus merula) populations.

Habitat properties are key drivers of Borrelia burgdorferi (s.l.) prevalence in Ixodes ricinus populations of deciduous forest fragments [PDF]

, 2018
Background: The tick Ixodes ricinus has considerable impact on the health of humans and other terrestrial animals because it transmits several tick-borne pathogens (TBPs) such as B. burgdorferi (sensu lato), which causes Lyme borreliosis (LB).

Predictive Modelling of Tick Distribution: A Machine Learning Approach to Ixodes ricinus Abundance

Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience, Volume 38, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT The resurgence of tick‐borne diseases necessitates predictive frameworks that integrate both high accuracy and ecological relevance. This study develops a comprehensive machine learning pipeline to forecast the occurrence of Ixodes ricinus, a principal tick vector in Europe, leveraging high‐dimensional climatic, environmental, and land‐use ...

Borrelia Infections Under B Cell‐Depleting Therapies: A Systematic Review of Diagnostic Challenges and Outcomes With Special Focus on Neurological Forms

European Journal of Neurology, Volume 33, Issue 1, January 2026.
Neurological infections caused by Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato and Borrelia miyamotoi are increasingly reported in patients receiving anti‐CD20 therapies and should be considered in cases presenting with neurological symptoms and cerebrospinal fluid pleocytosis.
