Surgical Removal of a Tick‐Bite Region Without the Presence of an Insect Body

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2025.
Surgical excision of a tick‐bite lesion revealed retained mouthparts despite the absence of a visible tick body. Dermoscopy demonstrated chelicerae imprints, and histopathology confirmed the presence of residual tick structures. This case highlights the combined diagnostic value of dermoscopy and histopathology in cases where the tick body is not found.

Opinion and report of the French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety (ANSES) on the assessment of the impact of fox population dynamics on public health

Food Risk Assess Europe, Volume 3, Issue 2, April 2025.
ABSTRACT The Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes) can be hunted as a game species. It may also be listed as a “species likely to cause damage” (ESOD – the acronym in French), for public health reasons among others. Conversely, benefits linked to the presence of foxes are also put forward, such as the predation of rodents carrying zoonotic agents.
