Potential Role of Avian Populations in the Epidemiology of Rickettsia spp. and Babesia spp.

Veterinary Sciences, 2021
Birds often are carriers of hard and/or soft ticks harboring pathogens of humans and veterinary concern. Migratory avian species, which cover long distance by their flight, may deeply influence the ticks’ distribution worldwide; in particular, they can ...

Anti-tick vaccine candidate subolesin is important for blood feeding and innate immune gene expression in soft ticks

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2023
Subolesin is a conserved molecule in both hard and soft ticks and is considered as an effective candidate molecule for the development of anti-tick vaccine. Previous studies have reported the role of subolesin in blood feeding, reproduction, development,

Nuttalliella namaqua: a living fossil and closest relative to the ancestral tick lineage: implications for the evolution of blood-feeding in ticks.

PLoS ONE, 2011
Ticks are monophyletic and composed of the hard (Ixodidae) and soft (Argasidae) tick families, as well as the Nuttalliellidae, a family with a single species, Nuttalliella namaqua.

Biological and ecological characteristics of soft ticks (Ixodida: Argasidae) and their impact for predicting tick and associated disease distribution

Parasite, 2009
As evidence of global changes is accumulating, scientists are challenged to detect distribution changes of vectors, reservoirs and pathogens caused by anthropogenic and/or environmental changes.

Spatial multi-criteria decision analysis to predict suitability for African swine fever endemicity in Africa [PDF]

, 2014
Background African swine fever (ASF) is endemic in several countries of Africa and may pose a risk to all pig producing areas on the continent. Official ASF reporting is often rare and there remains limited awareness of the continent-wide distribution ...

A study of ticks and tick-borne livestock pathogens in Pakistan. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2017
As obligate blood-feeding arthropods, ticks transmit pathogens to humans and domestic animals more often than other arthropod vectors. Livestock farming plays a vital role in the rural economy of Pakistan, and tick infestation causes serious problems ...

Multiple Acquisitions of Pathogen-Derived Francisella Endosymbionts in Soft Ticks [PDF]

Genome Biology and Evolution, 2018
Bacterial endosymbionts of ticks are of interest due to their close evolutionary relationships with tick-vectored pathogens. For instance, whereas many ticks contain Francisella-like endosymbionts (FLEs), others transmit the mammalian pathogen Francisella tularensis.

Identification and genetic characterization of Xiabuqu River virus: A novel member of the Iflaviridae family detected in soft ticks from Tibet, China

Virus Research
Soft ticks, an important group of blood-sucking arthropods in nature, are widely distributed globally and can carry a wide range of pathogens, including Theileria ovis, Anaplasma ovis, Rickettsia spp. and African swine fever virus.
