Reestablishment of the Brown Dog Tick Rhipicephalus sanguineus (s.l.) in Chișinău, Moldova: A Case of Indoor Infestation. [PDF]

Vet Med Sci
A rare indoor infestation by the brown dog tick Rhipicephalus sanguineus (s.l.) was documented in an urban home in Chișinău, Moldova. The ticks were found in an apartment with no recent travel history and minimal dog movement. This case highlights the risk of reestablishment of this species in temperate regions and emphasizes the importance of ongoing ...

Harnessing 50 years of tick population genetics: Choosing the right molecular tool for contemporary research

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Population genetics reveals how ticks interact with hosts, microbiomes and environments. This review guides researchers in choosing the best tool for the job, weighing cost, resolution, reproducibility and throughput to study tick population structure. Abstract Ticks are ectoparasites of major medical, veterinary and ecological importance, transmitting

Estimated seroprevalence of Ehrlichia canis in dogs in a remote community in the Northern Territory, Australia

Australian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Background The emergence of Ehrlichia canis in northern Australia in 2020 has reshaped the landscape of tick‐borne diseases in dogs, particularly in rural and remote communities where the brown dog tick (Rhipicephalus linnaei) is endemic. Despite the rapid spread of ehrlichiosis and reported impacts on dog health, its prevalence remains poorly ...

Detection of Anaplasma phagocytophilum and Babesia aktasi in a wild bezoar goat (Capra aegagrus): Overlap with domestic goat strains

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
This study provides the first molecular detection of tick‐borne pathogens in Capra aegagrus. Genetic analysis reveals similarities between Babesia aktasi and Anaplasma phagocytophilum strains in bezoar and domestic goats, indicating potential pathogen exchange.

Canine Spotted Fever Group Rickettsial Seroprevalence as an Indicator for Human Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever Case Rates in Arizona, USA

Zoonoses and Public Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF), a rapidly progressing febrile disease caused by the bacterium Rickettsia rickettsii, is the deadliest tick‐borne disease in the world. Human infection initially results in non‐specific symptoms and, if untreated, can result in death in up to 35% of cases.

Extracellular Vesicles in Arthropods: Biogenesis, Functions, Isolation Methods and Applications

Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membrane‐bound nanoparticles secreted by cells that are involved in multiple forms of intercellular communication and show promising potential for biotechnological applications. Arthropod‐derived EV research remains relatively fragmented in contrast to the extensively studied mammalian EV field. In this review,

Bushmeat Consumption and the Risk of Zoonotic Tick‐Borne Pathogen Infections in Ghana: An Increasing Risk to Public Health

Public Health Challenges, Volume 4, Issue 3, September 2025.
• Consuming bushmeat comes with the risk of zoonotic tick‐borne pathogen infection. • To protect public health, there is a need for regulations on bushmeat handling and sales, frequent surveillance, and increased education. ABSTRACT Consuming bushmeat is a widely accepted tradition in Ghana and other West African countries, where it is a vital source ...
