Host, vector, and parasite dynamics: exploring intrinsic and extrinsic factors shaping tick‐borne filarial nematode transmission

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1779-1792, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Tick‐borne filarial nematodes are a complex and understudied group of parasites that rely on ticks for transmission in vertebrates. This review examines how intrinsic and extrinsic factors may influence the successful transmission of filarial nematodes in tick vectors, drawing insights from extensively studied haematophagous dipteran vector ...

Molecular Genetics of Hepatozoon canis With a Note on Effect of Parasite on the Complete Blood Count Profile of Canine Hosts

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
A total of 654 blood samples were collected from healthy dogs in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provinces in Pakistan and screened for the presence of Hepatozoon canis. Genetic diversity of the detected H. canis DNA, infection‐associated risk factors, and changes in the complete blood count of the host due to parasitic activity were also evaluated.

Vectors and Vector‐Borne Diseases: Biology, Epidemiology and Integrated Control Strategies

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 7, Page 990-1015, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Vector‐Borne Diseases (VBDs), transmitted by arthropods such as mosquitoes, ticks, fleas and sandflies, represent a significant threat to global health. These diseases can be caused by a variety of pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and helminths.

Challenging the Clinical Paradigm of Hepatozoon canis: A Primary Pathogen Causing Clinically Significant Disease at Low Parasitaemia and a Chronic Inflammatory State

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 4, July 2026.
Hepatozoon canis causes significant clinical disease even at low parasitaemia and induces chronic subclinical anaemia and inflammation in dogs. Lack of tick control is the main modifiable risk factor. Molecular diagnosis is far more sensitive than microscopy, challenging the traditional view that disease severity depends solely on parasite burden ...

Rickettsiales in South America: A Systematic Review of Their Molecular Detection and Distribution in Arthropods and Vertebrates

Public Health Challenges, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Bacteria of the order Rickettsiales comprise a diverse group of obligate intracellular microorganisms that are globally distributed and highly prevalent in tropical and subtropical regions. In South America, these bacteria have been associated with arthropod vectors, such as ticks, fleas, mites, lice, and certain dipterans, as well as with a ...

Tick‐Tac‐Foe: When Ticks, Trade, and Zoonotic Pathogens Align in African Wet Meat Markets

Public Health Challenges, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Zoonotic diseases account for over ∼60% of infectious diseases and present a significantly growing fatality threat in Africa. Live and wet markets (LWMs) in Africa function as key economic venues that support human livelihoods through social interaction and trade in food stuff, including meat and other animal‐based products.

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 ...
