Rickettsial pathogens drive microbiota assembly in Hyalomma marginatum and Rhipicephalus bursa ticks
Molecular Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 16, Page 4660-4676, August 2023., 2023 Abstract Most tick‐borne pathogens (TBPs) are secondarily acquired by ticks during feeding on infected hosts, which imposes ‘priority effect’ constraints, as arrival order influences the establishment of new species in a microbial community. Here we tested whether once acquired, TBPs contribute to bacterial microbiota functioning by increasing ...

The first human case of Rickettsia slovaca from Turkey
Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2021 A three year-old girl was admitted to our university hospital with fever, muscle and abdominal pain, and painful cervical lymph nodes after a tick bite on scalp. Rickettsia slovaca DNA was detected in eschar tissue taken from the bite site. This is the first clinical case of a R. slovaca infection reported from Turkey.

Detecting zoonotic and non‐zoonotic pathogens in livestock and their ticks in Corsican wetlands
Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 2662-2677, November 2022., 2022 The objective of our study was to investigate the presence of pathogens in cattle and sheep farms in the wetlands of Corsica using a high‐throughput screening technique. Different pathogens were detected in ticks and animals, some of them being detected for the first time in Corsica or in the sampled animal breed. The result of this research will allow

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 69, Issue 5, Page e2943-e2951, September 2022., 2022 Abstract A scarcity of information on the occurrence of zoonotic vector‐borne pathogens (VBPs), alongside a lack of human and animal health authorities’ awareness of pre‐existing data, augment the risk of VBP infection for local people and limit our ability to establish control programs. This holds especially true in low‐middle income countries such as

Transboundary 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.

Transboundary 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 ...

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 69, Issue 4, Page e992-e1004, July 2022., 2022 Abstract A survey study was carried out to identify tick species parasitizing wild lagomorphs in Mediterranean ecosystems in southern Spain and to determine the occurrence of Rickettsia species present in these ticks in this region. A total of 1304 European wild rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) and 58 Iberian hares (Lepus granatensis) were individually ...
