The soft tick (Ornithodoros moubata) and its role in the epidemiology of African swine fever in Central Malawi

, 2023
African swine fever is a viral hemorrhagic disease of pigs (Sus scrofa) caused by a double-stranded DNA virus, African swine fever virus (ASFV). With up to 100% mortality in pigs and no vaccine, the socioeconomic impacts of this disease are immense.

Bulk tissue versus amino acid carbon stable isotopes to reveal the diet and basal resource use of an invasive rodent

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Stable isotope analysis (SIA) is widely used to reconstruct food webs, characterize trophic relationships, and estimate dietary composition. However, bulk tissue SIA (BSIA) can yield imprecise estimates when dietary sources are isotopically similar.

Detection of African Swine Fever Virus (ASFV) in Haematopinus suis: Evidence for a Potential New Sylvatic Cycle of ASFV Involving Lice and Domestic Pigs

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
African swine fever (ASF) is a lethal and highly contagious viral disease of domestic and wild pigs, listed as a notifiable disease to the World Organization for Animal Health (WOAH). In the absence of any credible commercially available vaccine, the economic losses to the global pig industry inflicted by ASF is insurmountable.

Current understanding of lymphoproliferative disease virus in wild turkeys

Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 49, Issue S1, December 2025.
Lymphoproliferative disease virus (LPDV) is a retrovirus that can cause a spectrum of disease in wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo), from subclinical infection to lymphoid tumors. We reviewed the literature to summarize our current understanding of LPDV, including disease presentation, surveillance, impact on fitness, spatiotemporal distribution, and ...

Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Blood Parasite Infections and Impacts on Avian Health and Reproduction

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 24, December 2025.
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.

Experimental design impacts the vector competence of Ornithodoros ticks for African swine fever virus: a meta-analysis of published evaluations

Peer Community Journal
African Swine Fever (ASF) is a highly economically devastating viral disease for swine. Soft ticks of the genus Ornithodoros are involved in its epidemiology, as vectors and natural reservoirs of African Swine Fever Virus (ASFV). The vector competence of
