Unravelling the biochemical aspects of the interaction between ticks and Leishmania using a tick cell line

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 350-359, June 2026.
Leishmania infantum propagated in IDE8 tick cell line in vitro. L. infantum reduces tick cell viability and induces reactive oxygen species production. Lipidic profile of IDE8 tick cell line is altered during Leishmania infection. Abstract Leishmaniasis comprises a group of vector‐borne neglected tropical diseases caused by species of the obligatory ...

Multi-scale patterns of tick occupancy and abundance across an agricultural landscape in southern Africa.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Land use influences the prevalence and distribution of ticks due to the intimate relationship of ticks with their environment. This relationship occurs because land use alters two essential tick requirements: vertebrate hosts for blood meals and a ...

Tick‐borne pathogen interactions enhance transmission in cattle and ticks in Ogun, Nigeria

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Tick‐borne diseases (TBDs) pose a major public health concern in tropical regions, where co‐infections and pathogen interactions complicate disease control. Understanding how these interactions vary across vertebrate hosts and tick vectors, and their impact on disease transmission, is crucial for developing effective intervention strategies ...

Rhipicephalus appendiculatus burdens on Cattle in Relation to Age and Sex of the Host [PDF]

Tropicultura, 2001
Adult Rhipicephalus appendiculatus burdens on indigenous cattle in the Southern Province of Zambia were determined. Older animals were infested with significantly higher numbers of ticks than younger animals and male cattle had higher infestations than ...

Estimating the distribution and abundance of Rhipicephalus appendiculatus in Africa

Preventive Veterinary Medicine, 1991
Abstract The brown ear tick Rhipicephalus appendiculatus is responsible for transmitting the parasite Theileria parva in eastern, central and southern Africa, where it causes East Coast fever, Corridor disease and January disease in cattle. In an effort to assess the impact of these diseases and their control on livestock production in the region,

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

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 94, Issue 11, Page 2159-2177, November 2025.
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
