Tick‐borne pathogen interactions enhance transmission in cattle and ticks in Ogun, Nigeria

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Tick‐borne diseases (TBDs) pose a major public health concern in tropical regions, where co‐infections and pathogen interactions complicate disease control. Understanding how these interactions vary across vertebrate hosts and tick vectors, and their impact on disease transmission, is crucial for developing effective intervention strategies ...

Endoparasite Prevalence in the Mountain Bongo (Tragelaphus eurycerus spp. isaaci) at Mount Kenya Wildlife Conservancy

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Parasite–host interactions influence the success of wildlife reintroductions. The mountain bongo (Tragelaphus eurycerus isaaci) is a critically endangered antelope found only in Kenya's montane forests, with fewer than 100 remaining in the wild. It is, therefore, imperative to re‐establish a viable, healthy, and self‐sustaining population in its native

Two Decades of Global Research Trends on Major Histocompatibility Complex Class I Gene on Farm Animals: Bibliometric Analysis (2001 to 2020)

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 2, March 2026.
In this study, a bibliometric mapping of two decades (2001–2020) of literature on the Major Histocompatibility Complex Class I (MHCI) gene in farm animals was conducted. The analysis revealed that research topics such as ‘Animals’ and ‘Major Histocompatibility Antigen Class I’ were trending, with the USA and UK contributing the highest publication ...
