Molecular detection of multiple Rickettsia species in ticks from the Republic of Guinea

open access: yesTicks and Tick-Borne Diseases
Tick-borne rickettsioses are emerging and re-emerging zoonotic diseases worldwide that are caused by Gram-negative bacteria of the genus Rickettsia. Ticks act as both reservoirs and vectors for these bacteria, thereby increasing opportunities for the ...

Exploring the potential of using male‐killing endosymbionts to induce female‐biased insect populations for enhanced biomass production

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Overview of the mindset and long‐term goals with the approach suggested in this study. We provide a first proof of concept that male‐killing endosymbionts can be used to establish female biased populations with higher production efficiency than populations with a 50/50 sex ratio. This biological tool can have marked positive impact on future commercial

Diversity of Rickettsia species in collected ticks from Southeast Iran

open access: yesBMC Veterinary Research
Rickettsia occurs worldwide and rickettsiosis is recognized as an emerging infection in several parts of the world. Ticks are reservoir hosts for pathogenic Rickettsia species in humans and domestic animals.

Infections with Tickborne Pathogens after Tick Bite, Austria, 2015–2018

open access: yesEmerging Infectious Diseases, 2021
The aim of this prospective study was to assess the risk for tickborne infections after a tick bite. A total of 489 persons bitten by 1,295 ticks were assessed for occurrence of infections with Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, Anaplasma phagocytophilum ...

A horizontally acquired pantothenate gene drives vitellogenin's benefit to whitefly symbiosis persistence

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
This diagram illustrates that the horizontally transferred panBC influences the level and localization of vitellogenin (Vg) by facilitating pantothenate production and juvenile hormone (JH) biosynthesis. In turn, Vg shields symbionts by suppressing autophagic degradation in bacteriocytes.

SEAL LOUSE (ECHINOPHTHIRIDAE) AS VECTORS FOR INVASIVE AND INFECTIOUS DISEASE AGENTS OF PINNIPEDS

open access: yesЮг России: экология, развитие, 2017
The aim of the presented article is to analyze seal lice (Phthiraptera: Anoplura, Echinophthiridae) adaptation to aquatic environment – permanent parasites of pinnipeds, as well as available literature data about seal lice as pathogen vectors of their ...

A horizontally transferred bacterial gene for pantothenic acid biosynthesis regulates diapause and reproduction in the spider mite Amphitetranychus viennensis

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
A bacterial‐derived AvPBL gene encoding a pantothenate‐β‐alanine ligase was identified in Amphitetranychus viennensis. RNAi silencing of AvPBL reduced pantothenic acid production, impairing reproduction and diapause induction, while pantothenic acid supplementation rescued these phenotypes.

Variety of Rickettsia Spechies in Ixodes Ticks at the Russian island (Primorsk Territory) in 2011-2012

open access: yesЭпидемиология и вакцинопрофилактика, 2017
Total 728 Ixodes ticks of four species: Ixodes persulcatus, I. pavlovskyi, Haemaphysalis concinna, H. japonica douglasi collected at the Russian island in 2011-2012 were investigated. Common Rickettsia infection rate in the tested vectors varied from 4.1

Putting Rodents at the Center of One Health Programs: A Narrative Synthesis

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Rodents link human, animal, and environmental health across diverse ecosystems. Rodent diversity underpins both zoonotic disease risk and ecosystem function. Environmental change reshapes rodent communities and spillover dynamics. Rodents act as reservoirs, amplifiers, and sentinels of emerging pathogens.
