Non-systemic transmission of tick-borne diseases: a network approach [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Tick-Borne diseases can be transmitted via non-systemic (NS) transmission. This occurs when tick gets the infection by co-feeding with infected ticks on the same host resulting in a direct pathogen transmission between the vectors, without infecting the ...

Comparative Genomics of the Endosymbiont Cardinium Causing Reproductive Manipulation in Encarsia Parasitoid Wasps

open access: yesMicrobiologyOpen, Volume 14, Issue 6, December 2025.
We assembled four Cardinium hertigii draft genomes: cEina3 causes cytoplasmic incompatibility, cEhis1 induces parthenogenesis, cEper2 is associated with parthenogenesis, and cEina2 infects asymptomatically. All four strains are closely related and hosted by Encarsia parasitoid wasps, but key differences exist, including their metabolic potential and ...

Prevalence of tick-borne encephalitis virus in Ixodes ricinus ticks in northern Europe with particular reference to Southern Sweden

open access: yesParasites & Vectors, 2014
Background In northern Europe, the tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) of the European subtype is usually transmitted to humans by the common tick Ixodes ricinus.

Role of mustelids in the life-cycle of ixodid ticks and transmission cycles of four tick-borne pathogens

open access: yesParasites & Vectors, 2018
Background Elucidating which wildlife species significantly contribute to the maintenance of Ixodes ricinus populations and the enzootic cycles of the pathogens they transmit is imperative in understanding the driving forces behind the emergence of tick ...

An eDNA Survey of Plant Biodiversity in a Local Dam Within South Africa's Largest City

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.
Ecological information is needed to establish, implement and monitor such biodiversity management plans. This study employs environmental DNA to provide a good overview of plant community structure in an urban dam in Johannesburg, South Africa. It further reveals a gap in the taxonomic coverage of South African plants on public DNA databases.

Delineating Anaplasma phagocytophilum Ecotypes in Coexisting, Discrete Enzootic Cycles

open access: yesEmerging Infectious Diseases, 2009
The emerging tick-borne pathogen Anaplasma phagocytophilum is under increasing scrutiny for the existence of subpopulations that are adapted to different natural cycles. Here, we characterized the diversity of A.

Carryover Effects of Thermal Conditions on Tick Survival, Behavior, and Simulated Detectability

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.
Recent thermal history affects the abundance and behavior of adult Amblyomma americanum. Thermal responses impacted simulated tick detection through combined effects on movement and mortality. ABSTRACT Carryover effects occur when environmental history of an organism influences its behavior, fitness, and population dynamics.

Anaplasma phagocytophilum prevalence in ticks and rodents in an urban and natural habitat in South-Western Slovakia

open access: yesParasites & Vectors, 2015
Background Ixodes ricinus is the principal vector of Anaplasma phagocytophilum, the ethiological agent of granulocytic anaplasmosis in Europe. Anaplasmosis is an emerging zoonotic disease with a natural enzootic cycle. The reservoir competence of rodents
