Temporal increase in ticks and pathogen prevalence in the small mammal part of the Lyme disease cycle in northern Europe

open access: yesEcosphere
Lyme disease is an emerging infectious disease and the most common vector‐borne zoonosis in the northern hemisphere. The pathogen that causes Lyme disease in Europe is vectored by the generalist tick Ixodes ricinus, and the emergence of Lyme disease is ...

Biology, ecology, and conservation of the Italian hare Lepus corsicanus: a review

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
The Italian hare Lepus corsicanus, an endemic lagomorph of Italy, serves as a critical case study in evolutionary biology and conservation. Once taxonomically debated, modern genetic and morphological analyses confirm its status as a distinct Pleistocene lineage restricted to the central‐southern Italian Peninsula and Sicily.

Tick capillary feeding for the study of proteins involved in tick-pathogen interactions as potential antigens for the control of tick infestation and pathogen infection

open access: yesParasites & Vectors, 2014
Background Ticks represent a significant health risk to animals and humans due to the variety of pathogens they can transmit during feeding. The traditional use of chemicals to control ticks has serious drawbacks, including the selection of acaricide ...

Putting Rodents at the Center of One Health Programs: A Narrative Synthesis

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Rodents link human, animal, and environmental health across diverse ecosystems. Rodent diversity underpins both zoonotic disease risk and ecosystem function. Environmental change reshapes rodent communities and spillover dynamics. Rodents act as reservoirs, amplifiers, and sentinels of emerging pathogens.

DESIGNING OF MULTI-EPITOPE VACCINE CONSTRUCT EMPLOYING IMMUNOINFORMATICS APPROACH TO COMBAT MULTI-TICK SPECIES INFESTATIONS [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Ticks have an exceptional ability to parasitize diverse animal and human lives and cause direct losses by transmitting a wide variety of pathogens to their host.

Drivers of Host–Pathogen Community Assemblages in European Forests and Urban Green Spaces

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite advances in understanding infectious diseases, the persistence and re‐emergence of wildlife pathogens continue to raise public and veterinary health concerns. This study investigates the relationship between biodiversity and rodent‐borne diseases in Europe, focusing on habitat alterations and their impact on rodent diversity.

Haplotypes of the bovine IgG2 heavy gamma chain in tick-resistant and tick-susceptible breeds of cattle [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Bovines present contrasting, heritable phenotypes of infestations with the cattle tick, Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus. Tick salivary glands produce IgG-binding proteins (IGBPs) as a mechanism for escaping from host antibodies that these ...
