This manuscript is part of a series of reviews that aim to cover published research on
Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) and its etiological agent, CCHF virus (CCHFV) …

The last years have seen a steady increase in our understanding of legumain biology that is
driven from two largely uncoupled research arenas, the mammalian and the plant legumain …

Ticks are obligate blood-feeders and serve as vectors of human and livestock pathogens
worldwide. Defining the tick microbiome and deciphering the interactions between the tick …

Ticks are hematophagous arachnids transmitting a wide variety of pathogens including
viruses, bacteria, and protozoans to their vertebrate hosts. The tick vector competence has to …

Animal diseases constitute a continuing threat to animal health, food safety, national

Ticks and tick-borne diseases are a growing problem affecting human and animal health
worldwide. Traditional control methods, based primarily on chemical acaricides, have …

Ticks infest a variety of animal species and transmit pathogens causing disease in both
humans and animals worldwide. Tick–host–pathogen interactions have evolved through …

More than 25% of human infectious diseases are vector-borne diseases (VBDs). These
