Background A previous study highlighted the role of antibiotic-induced dysbiosis in the tick
microbiota, facilitating the transstadial transmission of Babesia microti from nymph to adult in …

Migratory birds serve as potential hosts for ticks and can be reservoirs of tick-borne
pathogens (TBPs). The aim of our study was to investigate the prevalence of TBPs in …

Research on the transovarial transmission of pathogens whose reservoirs and vectors are
ticks has led to an understanding of the mechanisms related to the circulation and …

The immune system of ticks, along with that of other invertebrates, is comparatively simpler
than that of vertebrates, relying solely on innate immune responses. Direct antimicrobial …

Introduction Blood parasites pose a significant threat to livestock production in southern
Egypt, yet there is a scarcity of information regarding their circulation and epidemiology in …

Background Ticks are the second most common vector of human infectious diseases after
mosquitoes. Their transovarial transmission contributes to the maintenance of environmental …

Ticks can transmit viruses, bacteria, and parasites to humans, livestock, and pet animals
causing tick-borne diseases (TBDs) mechanically or biologically in the world. Lumpy skin …
