Identification and mapping of potential and highly likely vectors for selected vector‐borne diseases in the EU and neighbouring countries

open access: yesEFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract This report addresses Term of Reference 1.2 by providing a comprehensive knowledge‐mapping of arthropod vector species competent to transmit selected vector‐borne diseases (VBDs) including VBDs listed under Regulation (EU) 2016/429 and Regulation (EU) 2020/687, as well as additional non‐listed pathogens with potential epidemiological relevance.

DNA Retention in Sea Lamprey Digestive Tracts: Insights From Controlled Feeding Experiments

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Host DNA from a single species was detected via DNA metabarcoding from sea lamprey digestive tracts up to 30 days post‐feeding at 5°C, 10°C, and 15°C. Multiple previous host species could be detected from a single lamprey up to 30 days after fasting at 10°C.

Langat Virus Biology and Infection

open access: yesReviews in Medical Virology, Volume 36, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Flaviviruses pose a major threat to global health and can cause severe disease in animals and humans. Among them, tick‐borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) and related members of the tick‐borne encephalitis (TBE) serocomplex are transmitted primarily by ticks and can lead to neurological disease, including encephalitis and death.

Amblyomma cajennense Sensu Stricto (Fabricius, 1787) and Amblyomma sculptum (Berlese, 1888) Tick Saliva Elicit Immune‐Modulatory Activity in Isolated Murine Macrophages With an Insight Into Proteomic Analysis

open access: yesParasite Immunology, Volume 48, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Tick saliva is known to cause immunosuppression and help pathogen transmission. Amblyomma sculptum is a public health concern as a vector of Rickettsia rickettsii. Another close‐related species is Amblyomma cajennense sensu stricto (s.s.). The impact of saliva from these species on murine macrophages remains unclear.

Increased Borrelia burgdorferi Seroprevalence in Nova Scotia—Prevalence and Distribution 10 Years Later

open access: yesZoonoses and Public Health, Volume 73, Issue 2, Page 164-168, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Lyme disease (LD), a tick‐borne infection, is endemic in Nova Scotia. One decade ago, the seropositivity rate to Borrelia burgdorferi was 2/1855 (0.14%). In the current study, using residual sera representing ages 10–64 years, we demonstrate an increase in seroprevalence, to 25/1872 (1.60%), with the highest seroprevalence in the western area ...

A natural barrier: tick‐repellent potential of a spruce‐derived volatile blend against Hyalomma excavatum and Ixodes ricinus

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 2, Page 1481-1491, February 2026.
Both active and passive questing ticks, Hyalomma excavatum and Ixodes ricinus, were assessed for behavioural responses to two novel plant‐derived repellent volatile organic compound blends. Both tick species were repelled by the products, and both novo blends were significantly more repellent than currently available commercial products.

Our Changing Climate Is Presenting Major Challenges to the Great Lakes Region

open access: yesJAWRA Journal of the American Water Resources Association, Volume 62, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT The Earth's climate, including that of North America, is changing rapidly and the corresponding changes in temperature, precipitation, extreme weather, and other effects are accelerating. This changing climate is affecting the region around the Great Lakes and the physical behavior of the Great Lakes themselves, presenting new challenges to ...

Efficacy of afoxolaner against Ixodes scapularis ticks in dogs

open access: yesVeterinary Parasitology, 2014
Efficacy of afoxolaner, a novel isoxazoline insecticide/acaricide, against Ixodes scapularis was evaluated in a laboratory study. One day prior to treatment, beagle dogs (n=16) were infested with 50 unfed wild adult ticks. Repeat infestations were performed weekly for four additional weeks.
