Development and Characterization of Microsatellite Genetic Markers for Hyalomma rufipes, a Tick Vector of Crimean‐Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Virus

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
This study developed and validated 14 polymorphic microsatellite markers to investigate the population genetics of Hyalomma rufipes, a tick species that transmits Crimean‐Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Virus (CCHFV) in East Africa. Ticks collected from livestock in northern Kenya were morphologically and genetically identified, followed by genome sequencing ...

Rickettsia spp. in Ticks of South Luangwa Valley, Eastern Province, Zambia

Microorganisms, 2023
Ticks are important vectors for Rickettsia spp. belonging to the Spotted Fever Group responsible for causing Rickettsiosis worldwide. Rickettsioses pose an underestimated health risk to tourists and local inhabitants. There is evidence of the presence of

Can we continue research in splenectomized dogs? Mycoplasma haemocanis: Old problem - New insight [PDF]

, 2004
We report the appearance of a Mycoplasma haemocanis infection in laboratory dogs, which has been reported previously, yet, never before in Europe. Outbreak of the disease was triggered by a splenectomy intended to prepare the dogs for a hemorrhagic shock

Seasonality, Moisture, and Host Community Structure of Haemaphysalis Ticks in a Subtropical Urban Mosaic in Hong Kong, China

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
We integrated field surveys, DNA barcoding and integrative taxonomy, iDNA, and ecological modeling to resolve the distributions, seasonality, and host use of Haemaphysalis ticks across Hong Kong. Moisture was indicative of adult activity, and iDNA suggested predominant feeding on wild mammals, particularly wild boar and porcupine.

Acaricidal activity of small molecule antagonists of the tick kinin receptor against Rhipicephalus microplus acaricide‐susceptible and resistant strains

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 2, Page 1618-1628, February 2026.
Two small molecules, SACC‐0039590 and SACC‐0428788, killed cattle fever tick, R. microplus, susceptible Deutch strain and pyrethroid resistant Arauquita strain larvae. SACC‐0039590 at 1 mM decreased the reproductive parameters of Deutch females. Abstract BACKGROUND Resistance to acaricides underscores the need for tick control alternatives.

Vector abundance and associated abiotic factors that influence the distribution of ticks in six provinces of South Africa [PDF]

Veterinary World
Background and Aim: Climatic conditions significantly impact the life stages and distribution patterns of ticks and tick-borne diseases. South Africa’s central plateau and various biomes offer a distinct landscape for studying the geography’s effects ...

Viral diversity of Rhipicephalus microplus parasitizing cattle in southern Brazil

Scientific Reports, 2018
Ticks are ectoparasites spread worldwide and are well known as vectors of many viruses of great importance to human and animal health. However, the viral diversity in ticks is still poorly understood, particularly in South America.

Occurrence and Haematology of Canine Tick‐Borne Protozoa in Dhaka City, Bangladesh

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 1, January 2026.
• 30.62% of dogs were infested with Rhipicephalus sanguineus, which was mostly found on their neck and chest; however, infection with protozoa was 23.13%, where Babesia canis was the most prevalent (11.88%). • RBC counts, haemoglobin and PCV were significantly lower in infected dogs with higher eosinophilic counts.
