Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Ticks and tick‐borne pathogens (TBPs) threaten livestock productivity and public health worldwide, and climate–land‐use change is expanding vector habitats, elevating tick‐borne disease risk. However, TBP diversity and risk in Hubei Province, central China, remain insufficiently defined within a One Health framework.

Argas vespertilionis (Ixodida: Argasidae): A parasite of Pipistrel bat in Western Iran
Persian Journal of Acarology, 2013 Ticks (suborder Ixodida) ecologically divided into two nidicolous and non-nidicolous groups. More argasid ticks are classified into the former group whereas they are able to coordinate with the specific host(s) and living inside/adjacent to their host’s ...

Automated identification of spotted‐fever tick vectors using convolutional neural networks
Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 39, Issue 4, Page 829-841, December 2025.We evaluate the performance of convolutional neural networks (CNN) AlexNet, ResNet‐50 and MobileNetV2 for the automated identification of tick species capable of transmitting spotted fever. CNNs achieved accuracy rates of ~90% in identifying ticks and showed sensitivities of 59%–100% according to species, sex, position or image resolution.

Tick‐Borne Viruses in Finland: Public Health Risks, Interventions and Research Insights
Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 6, November 2025.ABSTRACT Ticks are obligate haematophagous arthropods that serve as vectors for diverse pathogens, including viruses, bacteria and protozoa. In Finland, the two primary tick species, Ixodes ricinus (castor bean tick) and Ixodes persulcatus (taiga tick), have been identified in the transmission of tick‐borne viruses (TBV), notably tick‐borne ...

Parasitism on domestic cats by Amblyomma auricularium and serological evidence of exposure to Rickettsia amblyommatis [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia VeterináriaThe domestic cat is not considered a primary host for any specific tick species; however, it can be affected by some Ixodidae species, such as Rhipicephalus sanguineus sensu lato and Amblyomma spp.

Journal 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

Parasites & Vectors, 2014 Background The 5’ region of cytochrome oxidase I (COI) is the standard marker for DNA barcoding. However, COI has proved to be of limited use in identifying some species, and for some taxa, the coding sequence is not efficiently amplified by PCR.

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 39, Issue 3, Page 422-430, September 2025.We determined morphological and molecularly two species of bat flies: T. parasiticus (Streblidae), and B. silvae (Nycteribiidae). We generated the first sequences for both species in the country for the cytochrome oxidase subunit I. We do recover monophyletic groups for both species, and we discussed the tree topology.
