No Experimental Evidence of Co-Feeding Transmission of African Swine Fever Virus between Ornithodoros Soft Ticks

Pathogens, 2020
Ornithodoros soft ticks are the only known vector and reservoir of the African swine fever virus, a major lethal infectious disease of Suidae. The co-feeding event for virus transmission and maintenance among soft tick populations has been poorly ...

Isolation and genetic characterization of a relapsing fever spirochete isolated from Ornithodoros puertoricensis collected in central Panama.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2021
Tick-borne relapsing fever (TBRF) spirochetes are likely an overlooked cause of disease in Latin America. In Panama, the pathogens were first reported to cause human disease in the early 1900s. Recent collections of Ornithodoros puertoricensis from human

Portuguese Hosts forOrnithodoros erraticusTicks [PDF]

Vector-Borne and Zoonotic Diseases, 2013
The hematophagous soft tick Ornithodoros erraticus feeds nocturnally on multiple warm-blooded vertebrate hosts. This tick is often found living buried in the soil of traditional pigpens. O. erraticus is an important infectious disease vector both for humans and animals.

Comparative Analysis of Tick-Borne Relapsing Fever Spirochaetes from Ethiopia and Nigeria

Pathogens, 2023
Despite increasing reports of tick-borne diseases in Africa, remarkably, reports of tick-borne relapsing fever (TBRF) in Nigeria are lacking. Ornithodoros savignyi from Nigeria have been reported with the relapsing fever Candidatus Borrelia kalaharica ...

Ticks (Argasidae and Ixodidae) in Tehran Province, Central Iran: Distribution and Seasonal Activity [PDF]

Vet Med Int
Ticks are obligatory ectoparasites of vertebrates and can transmit pathogens, including: arboviruses, bacteria, and parasites to humans and animals worldwide. This study aimed to identify the tick species found on semi‐domestic hosts in Tehran Province. This cross‐sectional study, conducted from 2020 to 2021, aimed.

Multilocus Sequence Typing Unveils Two Novel Genospecies of <i>Borrelia burgdorferi</i> Sensu Lato in Ticks Infesting Cricetid Rodents of Northern Chile. [PDF]

Transbound Emerg Dis
Tick‐borne spirochetes of the genus Borrelia are maintained in enzootic transmission cycles involving wild vertebrates such as rodents. The genus includes the lyme disease group (LDG), transmitted by hard ticks (Ixodidae), and the relapsing fever group (RFG), mostly transmitted by soft ticks (Argasidae).

Extension of Sylvatic Circulation of African Swine Fever Virus in Extralimital Warthogs in South Africa

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021
Sylvatic circulation of African swine fever virus (ASFV) in warthogs and Ornithodoros ticks that live in warthog burrows historically occurred in northern South Africa. Outbreaks of the disease in domestic pigs originated in this region.

African Swine Fever Virus: An Emerging DNA Arbovirus

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2020
African swine fever virus (ASFV) is the sole member of the family Asfarviridae, and the only known DNA arbovirus. Since its identification in Kenya in 1921, ASFV has remained endemic in Africa, maintained in a sylvatic cycle between Ornithodoros soft ...

Acaricidal activity of fluralaner against Ornithodoros moubata and Ornithodoros erraticus argasid ticks evaluated through in vitro feeding [PDF]

Veterinary Parasitology, 2017
Ornithodoros erraticus and Ornithodoros moubata are argasid tick vectors that transmit severe diseases such as African swine fever and human relapsing fever. Elimination of the synanthropic populations of these vectors would facilitate the control of these diseases. Fluralaner is a novel isoxazoline that selectively blocks the GABA- and glutamate-gated
