Antiparasitic Potential of Bioactive Compounds From Punica granatum: Preventive and Therapeutic Effects

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Diseases caused by parasites are a global public health problem. Due to their heterogeneity and diversity, they can affect various hosts, and some diseases are considered zoonotic. Therapeutic control in parasitic diseases has lost its effectiveness over the last decades.

Detection of Multiple Microorganisms in Ruminant Ticks in Senegal Using High‐Throughput Microfluidic Real‐Time PCR

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Ticks are major vectors of numerous pathogens affecting both livestock and humans. In Senegal, data on the diversity of tick‐borne pathogens (TBPs) in ruminant‐associated ticks remain limited. In total, 1703 ticks were collected from goats, sheep, and cattle across three ecological zones of Senegal (Sudanian, Sahelian, and Sudano‐Sahelian).

Quantitative detection of Theileria haneyi in South African horses

Ticks and Tick-Borne Diseases
Theileria haneyi is an apicomplexan parasite closely related to Theileria equi, a known causative agent of equine piroplasmosis. The molecular distinction between these parasites relies on a nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay, which has been ...

Prevalence and Sequence Analysis of Vector‐Borne Zoonotic Diseases in Stray Cats in Istanbul

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 5, September 2025.
Istanbul, the largest metropolis in Türkiye, is home to a notable population of stray cats. While cats enrich the city's culture, they can also transmit various diseases, posing diagnostic challenges for clinicians. This study aimed to detect infections in stray cats using PCR and sequencing to identify Ehrlichia, Anaplasma, Bartonella, Hepatozoon ...
