First Report of Anaplasma phagocytophilum in Galapagos: High Prevalence in Dogs and Circumstantial Evidence for the Role of Rhipicephalus linnaei as Vector

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
The current study investigates the presence and prevalence of Anaplasma species in dogs from the Galapagos Islands, focusing on the potential vectorial role of Rhipicephalus linnaei in the transmission of these pathogens. Blood samples were collected from 1221 dogs across four islands, with tick collections for morphological and genetic identification.

Hyalomma marginatum in Europe: The Past, Current Status, and Future Challenges—A Systematic Review

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Hyalomma marginatum is a prominent tick vector responsible for transmitting various pathogens, including the Crimean–Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV), across Europe. This systematic review consolidates findings from 144 publications regarding the geographical distribution of H. marginatum and its associated pathogens.

Diversity of Ticks in the Caribbean Region and Detection of Their Pathogens Using BioMark Technology

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Introduction Ticks and the pathogens they transmit are widespread in Caribbean animal populations. There is; however, limited information on the diversity of ticks and tick‐borne pathogens (TTBPs) in the region. This study aims to identify TTBPs across multiple Caribbean countries using a high‐throughput real‐time microfluidic PCR system.

Epidemiology and genetic diversity of Theileria equi and Babesia caballi in Mongolian horses.

Infection, Genetics and Evolution
Equine piroplasmosis is a tick-borne disease caused by Theileria equi and Babesia caballi in horses. Because of its impact on horse industry, control of this disease is crucial for endemic countries.

Fatal acute clinical babesiosis in an adult gelding pony living in an endemic area

Equine Veterinary Education, Volume 36, Issue 11, Page e280-e287, November 2024.
Summary Equine piroplasmosis is a haemoprotozoal disease caused by Theileria equi and Babesia caballi. Clinical presentations vary in severity according to infectious load, host immunity and endemicity. In endemic regions, equine piroplasmosis is rarely acute or peracute in presentation. Here we report a case of a 10‐year‐old pony gelding presented for

An assessment of equine veterinarian knowledge and perceptions of ticks and tick‐borne diseases in the United States to inform continuing education needs

Equine Veterinary Education, Volume 36, Issue 10, Page 527-535, October 2024.
Summary Background Ticks can harm horses and transmit diseases, making them a growing concern for owners and veterinarians. Veterinarians play a crucial role in providing advice on tick prevention and control. Yet, no research has examined their perspectives on equine ticks and tick‐borne disease (TBD).

A Suite of Pathogens Detected in Ticks Sampled From Wildlife Hosts in Central Kenya

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 3, September 2024.
ABSTRACT Opportunistic sampling of ticks from animals during veterinary treatment offers important insights about wildlife exposure to pathogens. Here, we report pathogens and other tick‐borne organisms detected in ticks sampled from 10 animal species in and near Laikipia County, Kenya, in 2014–2016.

Clinical investigation on Theileria equi and Babesia caballi infections in Italian donkeys [PDF]

BMC Veterinary Research, 2015
Interest in the welfare and diseases of donkeys is constantly increasing in several countries. Despite this, clinical research into donkeys needs to be in continual development since they show different reactions compared to horses in many conditions, including infectious diseases, and need specific clinical and therapeutic approaches.

Newly designed PCR assays based on the ema-10 and ema-11 genes confirm the circulation of Theileria haneyi in horses in Brazil

Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária
Equine Piroplasmosis (EP) is a tick-borne disease caused by the protozoan parasites Babesia caballi, Theileria equi, and Theileria haneyi, characterized by intravascular hemolysis and associated systemic illness. Although T. equi and B. caballi have been
