Global Prevalence of Anaplasma phagocytophilum in Cattle: A One Health Perspective, Meta‐Analysis and Future Predictions (up to 2035)

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 2, March 2025.
GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT ✓ Bovine anaplasmosis is a major tick‐borne disease affecting cattle herds. ✓ The global prevalence of Anaplasma phagocytophilum in cattle was 8.5%. ✓ Mongolia and Guatemala were countries accounted for the highest prevalence. ✓ Anaplasma phagocytophilum was most prevalent in cattle African region and Hot‐summer Mediterranean climate.

Rickettsia felis, an Emerging Flea-Borne Rickettsiosis. [PDF]

Curr Trop Med Rep, 2016
Rickettsia felis is an emerging insect-borne rickettsial pathogen and the causative agent of flea-borne spotted fever. First described as a human pathogen from the USA in 1991, R. felis is now identified throughout the world and considered a common cause

The role of wild canids and felids in spreading parasites to dogs and cats in Europe. Part I: Protozoa and tick-borne agents. [PDF]

, 2015
Over the last few decades, the world has witnessed radical changes in climate, landscape, and ecosystems. These events, together with other factors such as increasing illegal wildlife trade and changing human behaviour towards wildlife, are resulting ...

Diversity of lice and flea‐ and lice‐borne pathogens in free‐ranging dogs in Uzbekistan

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 39, Issue 1, Page 216-222, March 2025.
Lice (Trichodectes canis, Linognathus africanus and Bovicola bovis) and fleas were collected from dogs across five regions of Uzbekistan and subjected to molecular analysis. Molecular screening detected Dipylidium caninum and Bartonella spp. in fleas, while Rickettsia spp. were identified in both fleas and lice.

Diversity of bartonellae in mites (Acari: Mesostigmata: Macronyssidae and Spinturnicidae) of boreal forest bats: Association of host specificity of mites and habitat selection of hosts with vector potential

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 38, Issue 4, Page 518-529, December 2024.
Bats play a major role in the circulation of zoonotic pathogens. Mites (Macronyssidae and Spinturnicidae) may facilitate the long‐term maintenance (and even local recurrence) of Bartonella‐infestations. Mites may transmit several distinct Bartonella strains, which cluster phylogenetically close to Bartonella species known for their zoonotic role ...

Another tool in the toolbox: Aphid‐specific Wolbachia protect against fungal pathogens

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 26, Issue 11, November 2024.
Wolbachia infected more than 80% of Pentalonia aphids sampled across the Hawaiian Islands and other locations. The aphid‐specific M‐supergroup strains of this symbiont protected against a specialist fungal pathogen, Pandora, but not the generalist pathogen Beauveria or the parasitoid Aphidius colemanii.

Assessment of the Risks of Zoonotic Infection at the Primatology Centre of the Interdisciplinary Medical Research Centre of Franceville in Gabon

Journal of Medical Primatology, Volume 53, Issue 5, October 2024.
ABSTRACT Background Non‐human primate (NHPs) conservation sites could be sites of exchange of pathogens involved in infectious diseases. It is important to assess the potential risks associated with this type of structure. The objective of this study was to carry out a risk assessment of the Primatology Centre housed in the Interdisciplinary Centre for

Clinical and laboratorial evidence of Rickettsia felis infections in Latin America

Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 2004
After the discovery and initial characterization of Rickettsia felis in 1992 by Azad and cols, and the subsequent first description of a human case of infection in 1994, there have been two communications of human rickettsiosis cases caused by Rickettsia
