Stable isotope analysis of ectoparasites as a tool for understanding trophic interactions with mammalian hosts

open access: yesMedical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 39, Issue 4, Page 664-674, December 2025.
Ectoparasites showed significant δ15N enrichment compared to their hosts, indicating trophic enrichment, but δ13C preservation varied. Lice, fleas and ticks preserve their hosts' isotopic fingerprints to varying degrees, with lice reflecting host dietary patterns most closely, likely due to their exclusive, host‐specific feeding behaviour. The presence

SOME EPIZOOTOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF DISTRIBUTION OF CATTLE IXODIDOSIS IN DIFFERENT LANDSCAPE ZONES OF DAGESTAN

open access: yesРоссийский паразитологический журнал, 2016
Distribution and seasonal activity of ixodid ticks in various landscape zones of Dagestan is studied. During investigation of ixodid fauna in cattle we took into account the intensity of infection and index of abundance. After examination of50 animals in

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.

Harnessing 50 years of tick population genetics: Choosing the right molecular tool for contemporary research

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, Volume 94, Issue 11, Page 2159-2177, November 2025.
Population genetics reveals how ticks interact with hosts, microbiomes and environments. This review guides researchers in choosing the best tool for the job, weighing cost, resolution, reproducibility and throughput to study tick population structure. Abstract Ticks are ectoparasites of major medical, veterinary and ecological importance, transmitting

Metagenomic profiling of ticks: Identification of novel rickettsial genomes and detection of tick-borne canine parvovirus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Background: Across the world, ticks act as vectors of human and animal pathogens. Ticks rely on bacterial endosymbionts, which often share close and complex evolutionary links with tick-borne pathogens.

Structural and Functional Characterization of the 28 kDa Structured Core of BmSA1, the Major Surface Antigen of Babesia Microti

open access: yesProteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, Volume 93, Issue 9, Page 1657-1671, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Babesiosis is a tick‐borne disease that poses a significant threat to animal health worldwide. In addition, climate change and the risk of human‐to‐human transmission through blood transfusion have made babesiosis an emerging disease in humans.

Risk for Human Tick-Borne Encephalitis, Borrelioses, and Double Infection in the Pre-Ural Region of Russia

open access: yesEmerging Infectious Diseases, 2001
We assessed the risk for human tick-borne encephalitis (TBE), ixodid tick-borne borrelioses, and double infection from 1994 to 1998 in Perm, which has among the highest rates of reported cases in Russia.

Potential species distribution and richness of ixodidae ticks associated with wild vertebrates from Michoacán, Mexico [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Ticks are regarded as the most relevant vectors of disease-causing pathogens in domestic and wild animals. The diversity of Ixodidae is known for a very small number of genera.

Molecular Prevalence and Phylogenetic Analysis of Theileria ovis and Theileria lestoquardi in Small Ruminants in Siirt Province, Türkiye

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 5, September 2025.
According to the analysis results, the prevalence of T. ovis was found to be 5.43% in sheep, 4.57% in goats and 5% in total. Theileria lestoquardi was not found in either sheep or goats. ABSTRACT Background Theileriosis is a haemoparasitic disease of domestic and wild ruminants, caused by Theileria species, transmitted by Ixodid tick species ...
