CONCLUSIONS: This study represents the first molecular characterization of Haemaphysalis and Rhipicephalus ticks infesting rodents in Iran. Our findings confirm the presence of Rhipicephalus turanicus on Rattus species. More significantly, we identified a distinct Haemaphysalis lineage parasitizing Calomyscus cf. bailwardi, a rodent endemic to the Zagros Mountains. The considerable genetic divergence observed in both the COX1 and ITS2 genes suggests that this Haemaphysalis lineage may represent...

ALTNV, un virus asociado a Haemaphysalis longicornis, apareció en el 15,1% de una cohorte de pacientes expuestos a garrapatas y negativos para DBV. Podría ampliar el diagnóstico diferencial de SFTS, pero no explica todos los casos.

CONCLUSIONS: This study provides the first molecular evidence of H. shimoga and H. bispinosa infesting captive Samber deer, with detection of Anaplasma phagocytophilum and Theileria co-infection in Malaysia and highlights the occurrence of tick-associated pathogens in these specimens in Malaysia.

With specialized piercing and sucking mouthparts, hard ticks (Ixodidae) are able to penetrate, anchor and suck blood from their vertebrate hosts. In the process, some species vector diseases that threaten human health and livestock. Historically, much work has been done to characterize their mouthpart anatomy primarily through dissections and histology. Advances in imaging techniques have led to more recent work exploring stages of the tick feeding process including salivation, suction, as well...

A new pathogenic orthonairovirus was identified in patients with a febrile illness in China. This virus was found in Haemaphysalis longicornis ticks in the same region.

Scientists have uncovered a new pathogen transmitted to humans from ticks, reminding us that one of the biggest threats to our health is zoonotic disease.
