Rickettsia lusitaniae in Ornithodoros Porcinus Ticks, Zambia [PDF]

Pathogens, 2021
Rickettsial pathogens are amongst the emerging and re-emerging vector-borne zoonoses of public health importance. Though traditionally considered to be transmitted by ixodid ticks, the role of argasid ticks as vectors of these pathogens is increasingly ...

Alkhurma Hemorrhagic Fever Virus in Ornithodoros savignyi Ticks

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2007
Evidence for the tickborne nature of Alkhurma hemorrhagic fever virus (AHFV) is indirect because AHFV has not been detected in arthropods. One Ornithodoros savignyi tick from Saudi Arabia contained AHFV RNA. This is the first direct evidence that AHFV is

Prevalence and Identification of Livestock Tick by Sex Ratio and Host in Tehran Province. [PDF]

Vet Med Sci
This study identified tick species infesting livestock and poultry in Tehran Province, revealing a female‐biased sex ratio and sheep as the most infested hosts. Rhipicephalus sanguineus sensu lato was the dominant species. These findings underscore the need for host‐targeted tick control to mitigate disease transmission and economic losses.

Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Blood Parasite Infections and Impacts on Avian Health and Reproduction. [PDF]

Mol Ecol
ABSTRACT Parasitic infections are ubiquitous in nature, but their consequences are often difficult to evaluate in wildlife. This is particularly the case for chronic infections for which fitness impacts can be subtle or confounded with other intrinsic and extrinsic factors.
