Tick‐Tac‐Foe: When Ticks, Trade, and Zoonotic Pathogens Align in African Wet Meat Markets

Public Health Challenges, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Zoonotic diseases account for over ∼60% of infectious diseases and present a significantly growing fatality threat in Africa. Live and wet markets (LWMs) in Africa function as key economic venues that support human livelihoods through social interaction and trade in food stuff, including meat and other animal‐based products.

Risk Factors for Tick‐Borne Diseases in Germany: A Scoping Review

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 73, Issue 4, Page 297-313, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Tick‐borne diseases (TBDs) have proliferated in Germany. The two most prevalent TBDs, Lyme‐borreliosis and tick‐borne encephalitis, can present with nonspecific symptoms and lead to serious neurological complications. To date, a review synthesising the risk factors of acquiring a TBD in Germany is missing.
