Decoding Long‐Distance Communication Under Mineral Stress: Advances in Vascular Signalling and Molecular Tools for Plant Resilience

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mineral nutrients are essential for plant growth, development and crop yield. Under mineral deficient conditions, plants rely on a sophisticated network of signalling pathways to coordinate their molecular, physiological, and morphological responses.

Phylogenomics reveals the timescale of diversification in Amblycera

Systematic Entomology, EarlyView.
Next‐generation sequencing changes the higher taxonomy of Amblycera (Insecta: Phthiraptera). Families Trimenoponidae and Gyropidae merge into Gyropidae; Trinotonidae is a separate family; several genera are paraphyletic. The ancestral host of Amblycera was likely a bird; Amblycera switched to mammals twice.

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

Parasites & 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

A Systematic Review on the Prevalence of Tick‐Borne Encephalitis Virus in Milk and Milk Products in Europe

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 72, Issue 3, Page 248-258, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Tick‐borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) is one of the most significant zoonotic diseases in Europe. It primarily spreads through the bites of infected ticks and, less frequently, through consumption of raw milk and dairy products from viremic domestic ruminants.

Transstadial Transmission and Replication Kinetics of West Nile Virus Lineage 1 in Laboratory Reared Ixodes ricinus Ticks

Pathogens, 2020
West Nile virus (WNV) is a mosquito-borne agent that has also been isolated from several tick species. Vector competence of Ixodes ricinus, one of the most common tick species in Europe, has been poorly investigated for WNV to date.

Alpha‐Gal Sensitization Dynamics in Individuals After Tick Bites With or Without Erythema Migrans

Clinical &Experimental Allergy, Volume 55, Issue 4, Page 350-353, April 2025.
ABSTRACT α‐Gal syndrome (AGS) is an emerging tick‐borne disease characterised by the development of specific immunoglobulin E (sIgE) antibodies against galactose‐α‐1,3‐galactose (α‐gal), a carbohydrate found in most mammalian species, but not in humans. AGS occurs in individuals with a history of tick bites.
