Tick Species Infesting Livestock in Three Bioclimatic Areas of Senegal: Bioecology, Prevalence of Tick Infestation, Associated Categorical Factors and Crimean‐Congo Haemorrhagic Fever Virus Infection

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 3, May 2025.
Ticks were collected between October 2020 and November 2022, from cattle, goats and sheep in the Sahelian, Sudano‐Sahelian and Sudanian zones, and tested for CCHFV infection. A total of 3632 animals were examined and 35.3% (95% CI: 33.8–36.9) found tick‐infested.

Life history traits, habitat characteristics, and phylogeny influence tick infestation probability in tropical wild birds

open access: yesJournal of Avian Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 3, May 2025.
Interactions between wild birds and ticks exert significant selective forces, influencing the host's evolution and fitness. Tick infestation rates vary among bird species due to life history and morphology. Understanding tick infestation probability is crucial for conservation efforts, as birds play an important role in the tick life cycle and can ...

Potential mechanisms implied in tick infection by arboviruses and their transmission to vertebrate hosts

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, Volume 20, Issue 2, Page 315-330, March 2025.
We summarize the recent progress in understanding defense mechanisms in specific tissues or sites that are encountered by arboviruses and discuss their possible roles in virus infection or transmission. Abstract Ticks can transmit many pathogens, including arboviruses, to their vertebrate hosts.

Peptide OPTX-1 From Ornithodoros papillipes Tick Inhibits the pS273R Protease of African Swine Fever Virus

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2021
African swine fever virus (ASFV) is a large double-stranded DNA virus and causes high mortality in swine. ASFV can be transmitted by biological vectors, including soft ticks in genus Ornithodoros but not hard ticks.

Progress Toward Antigenic Epitopes of African Swine Fever Virus and Their Identification

open access: yesTransboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
African swine fever virus (ASFV) is a highly contagious pathogen that causes pigs to develop high fever, vomiting, diarrhea, and respiratory distress, with an exceptionally high case fatality rate. Unfortunately, vaccine development is hindered by a limited understanding of the structure and function of the protein encoded by ASFV, as well as the ...
