Pathogenic mechanisms of Tick-borne Flaviviruses

Uirusu, 2018
Many tick-borne flaviviruses causes fatal encephalitis in humans and animals with severe sequelae. However, it remains unclear how viral replication and pathogenicity contribute to the neurologic manifestations. In this paper, I summarized the specific replication mechanism of tick-borne flaviviruses in neurons and their effect on the pathogenicity of ...

Tick-borne pathogens and the vector potential of ticks in China

Parasites & Vectors, 2015
Ticks, as obligate blood-sucking ectoparasites, attack a broad range of vertebrates and transmit a great diversity of pathogenic microorganisms. They are considered second only to mosquitoes as vectors of human disease, and the most important vector of ...

Linking tick and wildlife host distributions to map risk of tick-borne diseases

Parasites & Vectors
Background Tick-borne pathogens threaten livestock worldwide, causing diseases such as anaplasmosis, babesiosis, heartwater and theileriosis in cattle. The epidemiology of each disease is complex, with multiple tick and/or host species interacting across

Antimicrobial resistance gene lack in tick-borne pathogenic bacteria

Scientific Reports, 2022
ABSTRACTTick-borne infections, including those of bacterial origin, are significant public health issues. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR), which is one of the most pressing health challenges of our time, is driven by specific genetic determinants, primarily by the antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) of bacteria.

Canine and ovine tick-borne pathogens in camels, Nigeria [PDF]

Veterinary Parasitology, 2016
In April 2008, whole blood samples were collected from 36 dromedary camels in Sokoto, North-western Nigeria. Following PCR and reverse line blotting, twenty-two samples (61%) resulted positive for Ehrlichia/Anaplasma spp. and three (8%) for Theileria/Babesia spp., with three (8%) cases of co-infections being found.
