Genomic Profiling for Piroplasms in Feeding Ixodid Ticks in the Eastern Cape, South Africa

, 2020
Importation of tick-infected animals and the uncontrollable migration of birds and wild animals across borders can lead to geographical expansion and redistribution of ticks and pathogen vectors, thus leading to the emergence and re-emergence of tick ...

Efficient, Capsule‐Free Nymphal Ixodid Tick Placement for Site‐Specific Attachment to Assess Anti‐Tick Host Behavior and Immune Responses

Current Protocols, Volume 6, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Ixodid ticks are among the most widespread and permissive groups of arthropod disease vectors in the world. They transmit various viral, bacterial, protozoan, and even nematode pathogens infective for humans and animals. Ticks are essential to studying pathogen transmission and infection in a new host; however, exposing in vivo models to ticks

Household‐Based Epidemiology of Bovine Ixodid Tick Infestation and Associated Risk Factors in Endamehoni, Raya‐Azebo and Enderta Districts, Tigray Region, Northern Ethiopia

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 5, September 2026.
Tick infestation affected 41.5% of cattle in Tigray, with Rhipicephalus species predominating. Infestation was strongly associated with poor housing, poor body condition and management practices, whereas limited awareness of tick‐borne diseases highlights the need for targeted control strategies informed by species‐specific attachment‐site preferences.

Prevalence, Species Composition and Associated Factors of Ectoparasite Infestations in Dogs in Isfahan, Central Iran

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 5, September 2026.
Ectoparasite infestation was detected in 39.13% of 138 examined dogs in Isfahan, Iran. Ticks were the most prevalent (57.4%), followed by mites (25.9%), fleas (11.1%) and lice (5.6%). Infestation rates showed significant differences according to sex and age (p < 0.05), with the highest prevalence observed in spring.
