Copy Number Variation‐Based Molecular Sexing of Ixodes scapularis and Rhipicephalus microplus Immature Stages Using qPCR and ddPCR Approaches

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 11, November 2026.
We developed and validated a copy number variation (CNV)‐based molecular method to accurately determine the sex of immature ticks, Ixodes scapularis and Rhipicephalus microplus, which lack morphological sexual dimorphism. Using qPCR and ddPCR assays targeting female‐enriched genes, sex was reliably identified from DNA extracted non‐destructively from a

All‐Oral PI3Kδ and HDAC Inhibition with Parsaclisib Plus Chidamide and Step‐Down Maintenance in Relapsed or Refractory Peripheral T‐Cell Lymphoma: A Phase Ib Trial

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Single‐agent targeted therapies for relapsed or refractory peripheral T‐cell lymphoma (R/R peripheral T‐cell lymphoma [PTCL]) produce modest, short‐lived responses, underscoring the need for tolerable, chemotherapy‐free combinations. In an open‐label, single‐arm Phase Ib trial at two tertiary hospitals, we evaluated parsaclisib plus chidamide ...

Tick-borne diseases in Egypt: A one health perspective

One Health, 2022
Background: Ticks are important arthropod vectors that transmit pathogens to humans and animals. Owing to favourable climatic and environmental conditions, along with animal importation from neighbouring countries, ticks and tick-borne diseases (TBDs ...

Diagnosis and Management of Infectious Encephalitis in Adults: Guidelines From the European Academy of Neurology and European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases

European Journal of Neurology, Volume 33, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Encephalitis is difficult to diagnose and manage, posing a challenge to clinicians. Since the last European guidelines were published in 2010, novel causes have emerged, diagnostic processes have evolved and treatments assessed which need to be reflected in updated guidelines.

Vectors and Vector‐Borne Diseases: Biology, Epidemiology and Integrated Control Strategies

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 7, Page 990-1015, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Vector‐Borne Diseases (VBDs), transmitted by arthropods such as mosquitoes, ticks, fleas and sandflies, represent a significant threat to global health. These diseases can be caused by a variety of pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and helminths.

Toxoplasmosis Beyond Transplantation: Diagnostic and Prevention Challenges in a Patient Receiving Targeted Immunomodulators

Transplant Infectious Disease, Volume 28, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
ABSTRACT Toxoplasmosis has long been recognized as a serious complication in immunocompromised host, particularly those with advanced HIV/AIDS, hematopoietic stem‐cell transplantation (HSCT), solid‐organ transplant (SOT), and hematological malignancies. The rapid expansion of targeted immunomodulators, including chimeric antigen receptor T‐cell (CAR‐T)

Citizen science informs human-tick exposure in the Northeastern United States

International Journal of Health Geographics, 2019
Background Tick-borne disease is the result of spillover of pathogens into the human population. Traditionally, literature has focused on characterization of tick-borne disease pathogens and ticks in their sylvatic cycles.

Transmission dynamics of Borrelia turicatae from the arthropod vector.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2014
BackgroundWith the global distribution, morbidity, and mortality associated with tick and louse-borne relapsing fever spirochetes, it is important to understand the dynamics of vector colonization by the bacteria and transmission to the host.
