Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 39, Issue 3, Page 422-430, September 2025.We determined morphological and molecularly two species of bat flies: T. parasiticus (Streblidae), and B. silvae (Nycteribiidae). We generated the first sequences for both species in the country for the cytochrome oxidase subunit I. We do recover monophyletic groups for both species, and we discussed the tree topology.

Veterinary 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.

Journal 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 ...

A proteomic approach to the identification of salivary proteins from the argasid ticks Ornithodoros moubata and Ornithodoros erraticus [PDF]
Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2007 The saliva of ticks contains anti-haemostatic, anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory molecules that allow these parasites to obtain a blood meal from the host and help tick-borne pathogens to infect the vertebrate host more efficiently. This makes the salivary molecules attractive targets to control ticks and tick-borne pathogens.

Integrative 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.

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