Safeguarding a Flagship Species: Integrated Surveillance of Cross‐Species Pathogen Transmission in Giant Panda Ecosystems

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Emerging infectious diseases increasingly threaten giant pandas and cohabiting species. This review analyzes pathogen transmission risks from domestic animals, wildlife, and vectors and proposes an integrated genomic surveillance framework for early warning and biodiversity conservation.

Female ixodid ticks grow endocuticle during the rapid phase of engorgement

open access: yes, 2010
: Lees (Proc Zool Soc Lond 121: 759-772, 1952) concluded that the ixodid tick Ixodes ricinus grows endocuticle during the slow but not during the rapid, phase of engorgement, a conclusion supported by Andersen and Roepstorff (Insect Biochem Mol Biol 35 ...

Morphological Abnormalities and Biological Effects in the Porto Alegre Strain of Rhipicephalus microplus

open access: yesEntomological Research, Volume 56, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Rhipicephalus microplus is a widespread tick species causing significant economic losses and transmitting pathogens to cattle. The R. microplus populations utilized in tick research are frequently maintained under laboratory conditions for many years.

Vasoconstriction induced by salivary gland extracts from ixodid ticks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
In their quest for blood, most haematophagous parasites secrete vasodilators in their saliva to counter the host haemostatic response of vasoconstriction.

Gonadulin and Insulin‐Like Growth Factor Involved in Rhipicephalus microplus Reproduction

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 3, Page 285-295, March 2026.
Insulin‐like growth factor (IGF2) in ovaries of Rhipicephalus microplus partially engorged females. Ovaries from females at different feeding stages were used to detect IGF2. ABSTRACT Gonadulin and insulin‐like growth factor (IGF) are neuropeptides synthesized by the central nervous system (CNS) of arthropods.

Molecular detection of pathogens in an equine fever diagnostic panel: 2019–2023

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Journal, Volume 58, Issue 2, Page 486-496, March 2026.
Abstract Background A common diagnostic approach for febrile horses is to test for a panel of potential pathogens. Panels are curated by expert opinion and vary between diagnostic laboratories. Objectives To report the results of a newly developed equine fever diagnostic panel (EFDP) between 2019 and 2023 and evaluate the frequency of positive results.

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.

Typing of Borrelia Relapsing Fever Group Strains

open access: yesEmerging Infectious Diseases, 2004
Partial sequencing of the 16S-23S rDNA intergenic spacer showed two to four genotypes each for Borrelia hermsii and B. turicatae, both relapsing fever agents transmitted by argasid ticks, and for B. miyamotoi and B. lonestari, transmitted by ixodid ticks.
