Vector-borne pathogens in dogs of different regions of Iran and Pakistan [PDF]
Parasitology Research, 2021 AbstractCanine vector-borne diseases (CVBDs) are highly prevalent in tropical and subtropical countries, mainly due to favorable climate conditions and reduced adoption of preventive measures. This study aimed to provide a comprehensive overview on the prevalence of CVBDs in Iran and Pakistan where limited data are available.

Vector-borne pathogens in cats and associated fleas in southern Ethiopia. [PDF]
Parasit VectorsAbstract Background The worldwide increment of cat populations has increased the risk of ectoparasite infestation and feline vector-borne pathogen (VBP) transmission. In low-income countries, such as Ethiopia, favorable climatic conditions and the absence of preventive measures against ectoparasites contribute to ...

Spatial Genetic Structure of a Vector-Borne Generalist Pathogen [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2011 ABSTRACTVector-borne generalist pathogens colonize several reservoir species and are usually dependent on polyphagous arthropods for dispersal; however, their spatial genetic structure is generally poorly understood. Using fast-evolving genetic markers (20 simple sequence repeat loci, resulting in a total of 119 alleles), we studied the genetic ...

Vector-borne zoonotic pathogens in cats
Biologija, 2019 Cats and dogs are the most popular pets. However, pets can transmit various pathogens and their close proximity to humans may lead to human infections – zoonoses. Transmission of zoonotic pathogens occurs through direct human-animal contact and/or arthropod vectors, such as ticks, fleas, mosquitoes, etc.
