Putative acetylcholinesterase genes from a one-host tick species, the winter tick (Dermacentor albipictus)
Abstract Tick control is heavily reliant on chemical acaricides; however, acaricide resistance and potentially toxic environmental effects underscore the need to develop new tick control strategies. Tick acetylcholinesterase is the target of organophosphate and carbamate acaricides, and the protein…

Estimating the prevalence of Echinococcus spp. in a Tibetan fox (Vulpes ferrilata) population on the eastern Tibetan Plateau
Abstract Background The Tibetan fox (Vulpes ferrilata) is a crucial wild definitive host of Echinococcus cestodes on the Tibetan Plateau. Fecal detection of Echinococcus DNA (fecal prevalence) is commonly used to estimate Echinococcus spp. prevalence in canine populations (population prevalence)…

Tick–host associations across contrasting habitats in tropical Peninsular Malaysia
Abstract Background Ixodid ticks are critical vectors of pathogens affecting human, livestock, and wildlife health. In tropical regions, landscape heterogeneity is a key driver of tick–host associations, yet comprehensive studies across diverse habitats remain limited. Methods This study…

A novel ecotype of Anaplasma phagocytophilum complex in questing Ixodes fuscipes ticks
Abstract Background Anaplasma phagocytophilum is a complex of tick-borne bacteria of medical and veterinary relevance, whose eco-epidemiology is well characterized in the Northern Hemisphere but remains poorly understood in South America. Here, we report in Uruguay the detection and genetic…

Ancylostomatidae in wild canids and felids from Romania: new host associations and haplotype diversity
Abstract Background Hookworms (Ancylostomatidae) significantly impact on the health of both domestic animals and humans worldwide, with some species capable of causing zoonotic diseases. While hookworm infections in pets are frequently reported in Europe primarily through coproscopic studies, there…

High prevalence of the Mediterranean spotted fever agent Rickettsia aeschlimannii in Hyalomma marginatum ticks from Pianosa island, Italy
Abstract Tick-borne rickettsioses, caused by bacteria of the spotted fever group (SFG) Rickettsia, are emerging infectious diseases whose emergence and spread are often affected by climate and land-use changes. Here, we report the results of monitoring Hyalomma spp. ticks in the protected area of…

Monoallelic knockout of r2d2 affects the antiviral RNAi response to Mayaro virus and the reproductive potential in Aedes aegypti
Abstract Background Aedes aegypti is an important vector for several human-pathogenic arboviruses. RNAi is the principal antiviral immune pathway in mosquitoes. Key steps of antiviral RNAi are processing of long dsRNAs into siRNA duplexes by dicer-2; loading of the siRNA duplexes onto Argonaute-2…

Temperature variability increases Trypanosoma cruzi load but not the extrinsic incubation period in Triatoma infestans
Abstract Background Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiologic agent of Chagas disease, is transmitted via the dejections of triatomine insects such as Triatoma infestans. Parasite development inside the vector depends on temperature, which determines the extrinsic incubation period (EIP) and modulates the…

Tafenoquine succinate inhibits the growth of the equine piroplasmosis hemoparasites Theileria equi and Babesia caballi
Abstract Background Equine piroplasmosis (EP) is a tick-borne disease of equids caused by the intraerythrocytic apicomplexan parasites Theileria equi, Babesia caballi and the recently identified Theileria haneyi. Acute cases can be severe, with anemia, jaundice, abortion or sudden death. Survivors…

Efficacy of sarolaner in Simparica® (sarolaner) chewables and Simparica Trio® (sarolaner, moxidectin, and pyrantel chewable tablets) against two US strains of Haemaphysalis longicornis
Abstract Background Haemaphysalis longicornis (Asian longhorned tick) is an invasive species now established in the Northeastern and Mid-Atlantic USA. It feeds on mammalian wildlife, livestock, birds, cats, dogs, and humans. Simparica® and Simparica Trio® contain sarolaner, a drug in the…

The urban Triatoma infestans challenge: integrative insights for vector control and Chagas prevention policies in San Juan, Argentina
Abstract Background Chagas disease has historically been linked to triatomines and rural areas. However, urban infestations by one of its vectors, Triatoma infestans, are increasingly being reported. Urbanization is reshaping vectorial transmission patterns of this disease, creating new collective…

A systematic review of the occurrence of Hyalomma ticks associated with birds migrating between Africa and the Northern Hemisphere
Abstract Background Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a tick-borne disease endemic to Africa, Southern Europe, and Western Asia. Its main vectors, Hyalomma ticks, can spread to and possibly establish populations in non-endemic regions via migratory birds. Methods We summarized the…

Analyzing the influence of environment, demographic and socio-economic factors on Aedes albopictus (Diptera: Culicidae) mosquito density at the micro-level using XGBoost and SHAP
Abstract Background Effective mosquito control in urban areas requires understanding of how climatic, ecological and socioeconomic factors shape vector abundance. However, most studies use linear or opaque models that overlook nonlinear relationships between environmental conditions and Aedes…

Beyond Anopheles gambiae sensu lato: exploring the impact of non-dominant Anopheles species on malaria persistence in high-transmission endemic areas of Burkina Faso
Abstract Background Despite widespread implementation of malaria control measures, including insecticide-treated nets (ITNs), indoor residual spraying (IRS), and seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC), malaria remains a major public health concern in Burkina Faso. The persistence of transmission is…

Efficacy of toxic sugar bait with ivermectin against two fly species (Calliphoridae and Sarcophagidae) of medical and veterinary importance
Abstract Background The use of toxic sugar bait with ivermectin (TSBIvermec) has emerged as a promising strategy for controlling insects that feed on carbohydrates, particularly mosquito species, in areas endemic for arbovirus transmission. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of…

Characterizing mixed strongyle infections in foals and broodmares using cytochrome c oxidase subunit I deep amplicon sequencing
Abstract Background Mixed strongyle infections represent the most prevalent equine parasitosis and can result in life-threatening disease, especially in young horses. Species involvement and pathogenesis of this parasitosis are poorly understood, and data on foals and broodmares are notably…

First report of Taenia arctos (Cestoda: Taeniidae) from brown bears (Ursus arctos) in Romania
Abstract Background The brown bear (Ursus arctos) is an apex predator with significant ecological importance and serves as a valuable indicator species for monitoring parasitic burdens in forest ecosystems. Owing to its complex ecology and varied diet, this species may play a key role in the life…

Efficacy of injectable versus topical formulation of ivermectin against Anopheles stephensi mosquitoes feeding on different body locations of treated Holstein calves
Abstract Background Malaria is a major public health concern and is transmitted to humans by the bite of infected Anopheles mosquitoes. One strategy to reduce populations of zoophagic Anopheles (i.e., likely to feed on other animals as well as humans) is the use of systemic veterinary…
