Comparative mitogenomics elucidates the population genetic structure of Amblyomma testudinarium in Japan and a closely related Amblyomma species in Myanmar

open access: yesEvolutionary Applications, Volume 15, Issue 7, Page 1062-1078, July 2022., 2022
Abstract Ticks are the second most important vector capable of transmitting diseases affecting the health of both humans and animals. Amblyomma testudinarium Koch 1844 (Acari: Ixodidae), is a hard tick species having a wide geographic distribution in Asia. In this study, we analyzed the composition of A.

Ticks on wild boar in the metropolitan area of Barcelona (Spain) are infected with spotted fever group rickettsiae

open access: yesTransboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 69, Issue 4, Page e82-e95, July 2022., 2022
Abstract Tick‐borne pathogens (TBPs) constitute an emerging public health concern favoured by multidimensional global changes. Amongst these, increase and spread of wild boar (Sus scrofa) populations are of special concern since this species can act as a reservoir of zoonotic pathogens and promote tick abundance.

Distribution and molecular characterization of rickettsiae in ticks in Harbin area of Northeastern China.

open access: yesPLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2020
Tick-borne rickettsioses are world-spreading infectious zoonoses. Ticks serve as reservoirs and vectors for Rickettsia and play a key role in transmission of rickettsioses.

Tick exposure and risk of tick‐borne pathogens infection in hunters and hunting dogs: a citizen science approach

open access: yesTransboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 69, Issue 4, Page e386-e393, July 2022., 2022
Abstract Citizen science may be described as a research involving communities and individuals, other than scientists. Following this approach, along with the evidence of a high prevalence of Rickettsia spp. in Dermacentor marginatus from wild boars in hunting areas of southern Italy, this study aimed to assess the occurrence of tick‐borne pathogens ...

Novel Protozoans in Austria Revealed through the Use of Dogs as Sentinels for Ticks and Tick-Borne Pathogens

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2021
We previously isolated and cultivated the novel Rickettsia raoultii strain Jongejan. This prompted us to ask whether this strain is unique or more widely present in Austria.

Molecular identification of Theileria equi, Babesia caballi, and Rickettsia in adult ticks from North of Xinjiang, China

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 7, Issue 6, Page 2219-2224, November 2021., 2021
One hundred nineteen tick samples obtained from horses in Xinjiang, China, to investigate the situation of pathogens by hard ticks. Theileria equi was detected in 1 tick, Babesia caballi was detected in 18 ticks. Among this, the mixed carriage rate of Theileria equi and Rickettsia was 0.8% (1/119), the mixed carriage rate of Babesia caballi and ...

Rickettsia raoultii, the predominant Rickettsia found in Mongolian Dermacentor nuttalli

open access: yesTicks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2012
Since the year 2005, clinical patterns resembling tick-borne rickettsioses have been noticed in Mongolia. Epidemiological data regarding species of the aetiological agent, tick vector, prevalence, and distribution as well as incidence of human cases throughout Mongolia are still sparse to date.

Molecular detection and genetic diversity of Rickettsia spp. in pet dogs and their infesting ticks in Harbin, northeastern China

open access: yesBMC Veterinary Research, 2021
Background Pet dogs are important companion animals that share the environment within households, and play an important role in local community life. In addition, pet dogs also are reservoirs of zoonotic agents, including Rickettsia spp., thus increasing
