Citizen science reveals host‐switching in louse flies and keds (Diptera: Hippoboscidae) during a period of anthropogenic change

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 305-322, June 2026.
A study of louse flies in the United Kingdom, Isle of Man, and Ireland found 212 different interactions between Hippoboscidae and their hosts, of which 70 were previously unrecorded. No louse flies were found on aquatic species of birds. Host‐switching to gulls (Laridae) has occurred during a period in which these species have started relying on ...

Oxidative Stress Control by Apicomplexan Parasites

BioMed Research International, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015
Apicomplexan parasites cause infectious diseases that are either a severe public health problem or an economic burden. In this paper we will shed light on how oxidative stress can influence the host‐pathogen relationship by focusing on three major diseases: babesiosis, coccidiosis, and toxoplasmosis.

‘Candidatus Mycoplasma haemoalbiventris’ and tick-borne pathogens screening in white-eared opossums (Didelphis albiventris) from Curitiba and Foz do Iguaçu Cities, Paraná State, southern Brazil

Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária, 2021
Hemoplasmas are epierythrocytic bacteria that infect mammals. ‘Candidatus Mycoplasma haemoalbiventris’ was detected in white-eared opossums (Didelphis albiventris) from southern and central-western Brazil.

Blood Parasites and Wildlife: The Development of a Discipline

Integrative Zoology, Volume 21, Issue 1, Page 2-10, January 2026.
Changes in our knowledge on blood parasite infections of wild animals in the last 30 years is reviewed with emphasis on taxonomy and phylogeny, impact of infections on fitness, and distribution of blood parasites. ABSTRACT In the last 30 years, the area of the study of parasitism caused by blood parasite infections on wildlife has suffered an ...

Frequency of Piroplasms Babesia microti and Cytauxzoon felis in Stray Cats from Northern Italy

BioMed Research International, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
Emerging diseases caused by piroplasms pose a health risk for man and other animals, and domestic cats have been proposed as potential reservoirs for some piroplasm infections. The aim of this study was to identify the frequency of the piroplasms Babesia microti and Cytauxzoon felis in stray cats from northern Italy and to identify possible risk ...

Distribution of Ticks and Prevalence of Tick‐Borne Pathogens in Multiple Regions of China

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Ticks and tick‐borne pathogens pose significant threats to livestock and public health. While tick occurrences have been reported in China, systematic assessments of pathogen risk factors across diverse hosts and regions remain limited. This study investigated tick distribution, prevalence, and associated pathogen infections across seven sampling sites

A One‐Pot RPA‐CRISPR/Cas12a Assay for Rapid Genus‐Level Detection of Babesia spp. in Ticks and Livestock Blood Samples

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Babesiosis, a globally significant tick‐borne disease, poses substantial threats to livestock production and public health. Reported cases of human babesiosis in the United States increased from 1742 in 2014 to 3586 in 2023. In livestock, cattle babesiosis causes mortality, reduced meat and milk production, reproductive losses, and substantial control ...

Emerging feline vector-borne pathogens in Italy

Parasites & Vectors, 2019
Background The epidemiology of feline vector-borne pathogens (FeVBPs) has been less investigated in cats than in dogs. The present study assessed the prevalence of Rickettsia spp., Babesia spp., Cytauxzoon spp.
