Household‐Based Epidemiology of Bovine Ixodid Tick Infestation and Associated Risk Factors in Endamehoni, Raya‐Azebo and Enderta Districts, Tigray Region, Northern Ethiopia

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 5, September 2026.
Tick infestation affected 41.5% of cattle in Tigray, with Rhipicephalus species predominating. Infestation was strongly associated with poor housing, poor body condition and management practices, whereas limited awareness of tick‐borne diseases highlights the need for targeted control strategies informed by species‐specific attachment‐site preferences.

Prevalence of tick-borne pathogens in an urban park in Rome, Italy

Annals of Agricultural and Environmental Medicine, 2014
[b]introduction.[/b] Limited information is available about the presence of tick-borne pathogens in urban parks in Italy. To fill this gap, ticks were collected in a public park in Rome over a 1-year period and screened by molecular methods for tick ...

Molecular Detection of Anaplasma spp. in Horses From Golestan Province, Northern Iran

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 5, September 2026.
Using PCR, Anaplasma spp. was detected in 15.7% of apparently healthy horses in northern Iran, showing notable differences in prevalence across different regions. ABSTRACT Background Anaplasmosis is a bacterial zoonotic disease that affects both humans and many animals.

Molecular and Serological Screening of West Nile and Usutu Virus in Birds and Humans: A Sentinel Study in Finland

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 5, September 2026.
We developed sensitive real‐time PCR assays for West Nile virus and Usutu virus to screen bird and human samples in Finland. Although no positive samples were detected, active migratory flyways and recent cases in neighbouring countries highlight the risk of future introduction and the need for continued surveillance.

Prevalence of Mastitis in Cows and Raw Milk Microbial Contamination in Selected Districts, Tanzania

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 5, September 2026.
Cow milk produced in Tanzania suffers from poor quality due to bacterial contamination from mastitis udder predisposed by poor livestock husbandry and milk hygienic practices. The prevalence of mastitis was 75.6%, with a milk bacterial contamination rate of 78% and resistance to multiple antimicrobials. To safeguard the dairy industry and public health,

Conspecific cueing or cooperative feeding?—Foraging stable flies are visually attracted to conspecific flies

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 512-529, September 2026.
In two‐choice laboratory bioassays, food‐deprived and CO2‐stimulated stable flies were offered paired landing platforms that were baited or not (control) with conspecific flies. The presence of conspecifics prompted the attraction and landing of foraging stable flies.

Recent Advances in Fluorescent Probes for Imaging Enzyme Activity in NETosis

ChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 15, 14 August 2026.
Fluorescent probes enable real‐time visualization of neutrophil effector functions. This review summarizes current probe design strategies and emerging tools for imaging key enzymatic activities, with emphasis on mechanisms underlying NETosis, a lytic form of neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation. We discuss current limitations, challenges, and

Synthesis and Glycosidase Inhibition Studies of Novel Exoglycals Targeting GH3 Family Enzymes: Insights from Comparative Analysis with Macrolide Antibiotics

Chemistry – A European Journal, Volume 32, Issue 29, 7 August 2026.
A series of structurally diverse exoglycals was synthesized using a modified Julia‐olefination approach from sugar‐derived precursors. These glycosidase transition‐state mimics were further diversified via CuAAC chemistry to yield triazole‐conjugated analogues.

Host, vector, and parasite dynamics: exploring intrinsic and extrinsic factors shaping tick‐borne filarial nematode transmission

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1779-1792, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Tick‐borne filarial nematodes are a complex and understudied group of parasites that rely on ticks for transmission in vertebrates. This review examines how intrinsic and extrinsic factors may influence the successful transmission of filarial nematodes in tick vectors, drawing insights from extensively studied haematophagous dipteran vector ...
