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.

Temporal Changes in Tick‐Borne Pathogen Prevalence in Questing Ixodes ricinus Across Different Habitats in the North‐Eastern Italian Alps

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 13, Issue 6, December 2024.
This study examines the prevalence of tick‐borne pathogens in Ixodes ricinus ticks in the north‐eastern Italian Alps. It found an average infection rate of 27.1%, with 11 zoonotic pathogens identified, showing varying infection rates across different years and habitats.

Impacts of climate change on the potential distribution of Pulex simulans and Polygenis gwyni

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2024.
Pulex simulans and Polygenis gwyni are vectors of many flea‐borne diseases. We used the MaxEnt to predict the potential habitats of P. simulans and P. gwyni. Abstract Pulex simulans and Polygenis gwyni are vectors of many flea‐borne diseases. They were widely recorded in the United States and Mexico between 1970 and 2000.

Molecular Confirmation of Rickettsia parkeri in Amblyomma ovale Ticks, Veracruz, Mexico

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2019
We found Rickettsia parkeri in Amblyomma ovale ticks collected in Veracruz, Mexico, in 2018. We sequenced gene segments of gltA, htrA, sca0, and sca5; phylogenetic reconstruction revealed near-complete identity with R. parkeri strain Atlantic Rainforest.

Typhus Group Rickettsiosis, Germany, 2010–20171 [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2018
Typhus group rickettsiosis is caused by the vectorborne bacteria Rickettsia typhi and R. prowazekii. R. typhi, which causes murine typhus, the less severe endemic form of typhus, is transmitted by fleas; R. prowazekii, which causes the severe epidemic form of typhus, is transmitted by body lice.

Prevalence of Anaplasma, Ehrlichia and Rickettsia infections in dogs in Iran: A meta‐analysis study

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 10, Issue 2, March 2024.
This study assesses Rickettsiales bacteria prevalence in Iranian dogs, which can affect both animals and humans. Dogs’ interactions with people and livestock make them potential carriers of these zoonotic pathogens. Data gathered until 1 March 2022, from various sources revealed disparities among genera, with 20.1% for Anaplasma spp.

Molecular Detection of Tick‐Borne Pathogens in Kumasi: With a First Report of Zoonotic Pathogens in Abattoir Workers

BioMed Research International, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Tick‐borne pathogens continue to infect humans and animals worldwide. By adapting to the movement of livestock, ticks facilitate the spread of these infectious pathogens. Humans in close contact with animals that could be amplifying hosts are especially at risk of being infected with tick‐borne pathogens. This study involved the collection of dry blood
