Alkhurma Hemorrhagic Fever Virus in Ornithodoros savignyi Ticks
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

Transcriptomic and Metabolomic Profiling Identifies a Core Gene-Metabolite Axis Driving African Swine Fever Virus Replication in the Soft Tick Ornithodoros lahorensis. [PDF]
Transcriptomic and metabolomic profiling of Ornithodoros lahorensis during African swine fever virus (ASFV) infection reveals that ASFV rewires host purine/pyrimidine metabolism, lipid metabolism, and energy metabolism. A core gene‐metabolite regulatory axis consisting of 12 key genes and 8 signature metabolites is identified to support viral genome ...

Historical overview and update on relapsing fever group Borrelia in Latin America
Relapsing fever group Borrelia (RFGB) are motile spirochetes transmitted to mammalian or avian hosts through the bite of hematophagous arthropods, such as soft ticks (Argasidae), hard ticks (Ixodidae) and the human clothing lice.

Range Modeling and Surveillance of <i>Ornithodoros turicata</i> Ticks: Implications for Detecting African Swine Fever Virus in the United States. [PDF]
Ornithodoros turicata collected from a dry ice baited tick trap. ABSTRACT African Swine Fever virus (ASFv) is a re‐emerging global swine disease that, if introduced to the United States, would cause severe economic consequences. The widespread presence of feral hogs in addition to the presence of competent tick vectors, specifically Ornithodoros ...

The epidemiology and geographic distribution of relapsing fever borreliosis in West and North Africa, with a review of the Ornithodoros erraticus complex (Acari: Ixodida). [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Relapsing fever is the most frequent bacterial disease in Africa. Four main vector / pathogen complexes are classically recognized, with the louse Pediculus humanus acting as vector for B. recurrentis and the soft ticks Ornithodoros sonrai, O.

We investigated the possibility that sylvatic circulation of African swine fever virus (ASFV) in warthogs and Ornithodoros ticks had extended beyond the historically affected northern part of South Africa that was declared a controlled area in 1935 to ...

Inventory and update on argasid ticks and associated pathogens in Algeria
Argasid ticks include vectors of relapsing fevers caused by Borrelia spp. in humans, and they can transmit arboviruses and other bacterial pathogens. Knowledge about soft ticks (Ixodida: Argasidae) in Algeria is incomplete, and distribution data need to ...
