Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 71, Issue 8, Page 869-875, December 2024.Abstract Aims Coxiella burnetii is a highly infectious organism that is easily spread through aerosols causing Q fever in humans. Ticks can harbour and transmit C. burnetii to animals, contributing to disease maintenance. Our aim was to examine the presence of C. burnetii in ticks in Uganda.

Further studies on Haematoxenus separatus (Sporozoa, Theileriidae) of sheep in Tanzania [PDF]
, 1976 L'évolution des rechutes d'Haematoxenus separatus, après splénectomie de deux moutons porteurs de parasites, est décrite. Le parasite a été trouvé pour la première fois chez un mouton non splénectomisé.

Farmer‐friendly delivery of veterinary services: Experimental insights from the Kenyan dairy sector
Journal of Agricultural Economics, Volume 75, Issue 3, Page 829-846, September 2024.Abstract Poor health conditions of livestock cause sizeable losses for many farmers in the Global South. Veterinary services, including vaccinations, could help but often fail to reach farmers under typical smallholder conditions. Here, we examine how the provision of a vaccine against East Coast Fever (ECF)—a tick‐borne disease affecting cattle in ...

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 71, Issue 5, Page 503-514, August 2024.Abstract Aims Q fever is a globally distributed, neglected zoonotic disease of conservation and public health importance, caused by the bacterium Coxiella burnetii. Coxiella burnetii normally causes subclinical infections in livestock, but may also cause reproductive pathology and spontaneous abortions in artiodactyl species.

Immune functions of C‐type lectins in medical arthropods
Insect Science, Volume 31, Issue 3, Page 652-662, June 2024.C‐type lectins (CTLs) in mosquito vectors facilitate viral infection. Mosquito CTLs (mosGCTLs) bind to the viral envelope (E) proteins of the West Nile virus (WNV) (A), the Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) (B), and the dengue virus (DENV) (c), thus enhancing viral entry into cells via membrane receptors such as mosPTP‐1. Abstract C‐type lectins (CTLs)

Present and future potential of plant-derived products to control arthropods of veterinary and medical significance [PDF]
, 2014 The use of synthetic pesticides and repellents to target pests of veterinary and medical significance is becoming increasingly problematic. One alternative approach employs the bioactive attributes of plant-derived products (PDPs). These are particularly

Immunization of Rabbits with Rhipicephalus Appendiculatus Antigen—Antibody Complexes
International Journal of Tropical Insect Science, 1986 Adult ticks of Rhipicephalus appendiculatus were fed on rabbits immunized with antigen–antibody complexes derived from the immunodiffusion reaction in agarose of tick extracts with antisera from rabbits immunized previously with tick extracts. Ticks feeding on the precipitin complex immunized rabbits displayed delayed attachment, prolonged engorgement ...

Targeting Haemaphysalis longicornis serpin to prevent tick feeding and pathogen transmission
Insect Science, Volume 31, Issue 3, Page 694-706, June 2024.Fed nymphal Haemaphysalis longicornis ticks produce anticoagulant serpins (Hlserpin‐a and Hlserpin‐b) that aid tick feeding. Targeting these serpins through RNA interference or immunization significantly impairs tick feeding. Silencing Hlserpins also reduces Langat virus transmission from ticks to mice.

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 38, Issue 2, Page 189-204, June 2024.We sequenced the entire mt genomes of three species of tick for the first time: Bothriocroton auruginans, B. hydrosauri and H. (Kaiseriana) novaeguineae, and we sequenced the 18S rRNA gene of B. hydrosauri and H. (Kaiseriana) bancrofti. In our phylogenetic trees, Alloceraea was the sister to Archaeocroton sphenodonti, from New Zealand; to the exclusion
