Zoonotic Tick‐Borne Pathogens in Ixodes ricinus Complex (Acari: Ixodidae) From Urban and Peri‐Urban Areas of Kosovo

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 72, Issue 2, Page 174-183, March 2025.
ABSTRACT Introduction Ixodes ricinus, the castor bean tick, is the most prevalent tick species in Europe. It favours habitats such as shrubs, deciduous and mixed forests, but can also be found in urban environments. Due to its high vector competence, it is of enormous veterinary as well as medical importance, transmitting tick‐borne encephalitis (TBE ...

Molecular detection of Rickettsia massiliae, Rickettsia sibirica mongolitimonae and Rickettsia conorii israelensis in ticks from Israel [PDF]

Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2010
Rickettsioses are recognized as important emerging vector-borne infections of humans worldwide. Previous reports documented the presence of two spotted fever group rickettsiae in Israel, Rickettsia conorii israelensis and Rickettsia felis. The aim of this study was to characterize the diversity of rickettsiae in ticks collected from vegetation and the ...

Structural and functional mechanisms of actin isoforms

The FEBS Journal, Volume 292, Issue 3, Page 468-482, February 2025.
Actin isoforms are abundant cytoskeletal proteins that exhibit high structural and functional conservation yet have different cellular roles. This review discusses the structural and functional roles of actin isoforms, their biochemistries, and interactions with myosin motor proteins.

Kinetics of Antibody Responses in Rickettsia africae and Rickettsia conorii Infections [PDF]

Clinical and Vaccine Immunology, 2002
ABSTRACT African tick-bite fever, caused by Rickettsia africae , is the most common tick-borne rickettsiosis in sub-Saharan Africa. Mediterranean spotted fever due to Rickettsia conorii also occurs in the region but is more prevalent in Mediterranean countries.

Ticks and Tick‐Borne Pathogens Encountered by Dogs and Cats: A North European Perspective

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Climate change is increasing the worldwide burden of tick‐borne diseases (TBDs). Dramatic increases in human cases of borreliosis have been reported during the past few decades, including from Finland, located in North Europe. As human exposure to ticks carrying pathogens is increasing, so likely is exposure of dogs and cats.
