Diversity of Viruses in Ixodes ricinus in Europe including Novel and Potential Arboviruses

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
Tick‐borne pathogens are responsible for many vector‐borne diseases in Europe, causing important problems for human and animal health. The composition of viral communities in ticks and their interactions with pathogens is little understood, especially in Eastern Europe, an area that represents a major hub for animal‐arthropod vectors exchanges. In this

Multilocus Sequence Analysis of Clinical "Candidatus Neoehrlichia mikurensis" Strains from Europe. [PDF]

J Clin Microbiol, 2015
ABSTRACT “ Candidatus Neoehrlichia mikurensis” is the tick-borne agent of neoehrlichiosis, an infectious disease that primarily affects immunocompromised patients. So far, the genetic variability of “ Ca . Neoehrlichia” has been studied only by comparing 16S rRNA genes and

The circulation of Anaplasma phagocytophilum ecotypes is associated with community composition of vertebrate hosts

Ecosphere, Volume 13, Issue 9, September 2022., 2022
Abstract Anaplasma phagocytophilum is a tick‐borne pathogen that has been detected in many tick and vertebrate species. It is among the most widespread tick‐borne pathogens in animals in Europe. The bacterium can be genetically divided into four ecotypes, which are linked to distinct but overlapping host species.

Melting pot of tick-borne zoonoses : the European hedgehog contributes to the maintenance of various tick-borne diseases in natural cycles urban and suburban areas [PDF]

, 2017
Background: European hedgehogs (Erinaceus europaeus) are urban dwellers and host both Ixodes ricinus and Ixodes hexagonus. These ticks transmit several zoonotic pathogens like Borrelia burgdorferi (sensu lato), Anaplasma phagocytophilum, Rickettsia ...

Upscaling the surveillance of tick-borne pathogens in the French Caribbean Islands [PDF]

, 2020
Despite the high burden of vector-borne disease in (sub)tropical areas, few information are available regarding the diversity of tick and tick-borne pathogens circulating in the Caribbean.

High‐throughput microfluidic real‐time PCR for the simultaneous detection of selected vector‐borne pathogens in dogs in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 69, Issue 5, Page e2943-e2951, September 2022., 2022
Abstract A scarcity of information on the occurrence of zoonotic vector‐borne pathogens (VBPs), alongside a lack of human and animal health authorities’ awareness of pre‐existing data, augment the risk of VBP infection for local people and limit our ability to establish control programs. This holds especially true in low‐middle income countries such as

Zoonotic pathogen screening of striped field mice (Apodemus agrarius) from Austria

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 69, Issue 2, Page 886-890, March 2022., 2022
Abstract The striped field mouse (Apodemus agrarius) is known to carry several zoonotic pathogens, including Leptospira spp. and Dobrava–Belgrade orthohantavirus (DOBV). Since its first detection in 1996 in south‐east Austria, the striped field mouse has further expanded its range in Austria.

Detection of bacterial and protozoan pathogens in individual bats and their ectoparasites using high-throughput microfluidic real-time PCR

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023
Among the most studied mammals in terms of their role in the spread of various pathogens with possible zoonotic effects are bats. These are animals with a very complex lifestyle, diet, and behavior.

Borrelia Diversity and Co-infection with Other Tick Borne Pathogens in Ticks [PDF]

, 2017
Identifying Borrelia burgdorferi as the causative agent of Lyme disease in 1981 was a watershed moment in understanding the major impact that tick-borne zoonoses can have on public health worldwide, particularly in Europe and the USA.
