Phylogenetic analyses reveal bat communities in Northwestern Mexico harbor a high diversity of novel cryptic ectoparasite species

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 2, February 2023., 2023
Parasites are integral parts of the ecosystem. Using phylogenetic techniques, we found multiple novel lineages of bat bugs, flies, and ticks in Northwestern Mexico. For some ectoparasite species, haplotype distribution may reflect patterns of bat dispersal.

Behavior of Wild Pigs toward Conspecific Carcasses: Implications for Disease Transmission in a Hot, Semiarid Climate

open access: yesTransboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
Wild pigs (Sus scrofa) are a prolific, invasive species in the United States of America and act as vectors for many pathogens. An emerging pathogen of concern to the USA is African swine fever (ASF), a deadly viral disease affecting swine that is endemic to Africa and has spread to parts of Europe, Asia, and the Caribbean.

Current review of isoxazoline ectoparasiticides used in veterinary medicine

open access: yesJournal of Veterinary Pharmacology and Therapeutics, Volume 45, Issue 1, Page 1-15, January 2022., 2022
Abstract The isoxazolines are a novel class of ectoparasiticides with potent inhibitory activity on glutamate‐ and gamma‐aminobutyric acid‐gated chloride channel located in nervous system of invertebrates. In recent years, studies have been performed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of isoxazolines against various types of ectoparasites, including ...

Imaging of Borrelia turicatae Producing the Green Fluorescent Protein Reveals Persistent Colonization of the Ornithodoros turicata Midgut and Salivary Glands from Nymphal Acquisition through Transmission. [PDF]

open access: yesAppl Environ Microbiol, 2017
ABSTRACT Relapsing fever (RF) spirochetes colonize and are transmitted to mammals primarily by Ornithodoros ticks, and little is known regarding the pathogen's life cycle in the vector. To further understand vector colonization and transmission of RF spirochetes, Borrelia turicatae ...
