The main importance of ticks resides in their ability to harbor pathogens that can be
transmitted to terrestrial vertebrates including humans. Recently, studies have focused on …

Transovarial transmission (TOT) is an efficient vertical transmission of pathogens that is
observed in many arthropod vectors. This method seems to be an evolutionarily unique …

Background Hard ticks act as arthropod vectors in the transmission of human and animal
pathogens and are widely distributed in northern China. The aim of this study is to screen …

Background Anaplasmosis and ehrlichiosis are tick-borne diseases affecting humans and

I. ricinus is an obligate hematophagous parasitic arthropod that is responsible for the
transmission of a wide range of zoonotic pathogens including spirochetes of the genus …

The main importance of ticks resides in their ability to harbor and transmit microorganisms
that cause disease to animals and humans. In addition to pathogens, ticks coexist and …

Background: The spread of emerging tick-borne pathogens has steadily increased in
Canada with the widespread establishment of tick vectors and vertebrate hosts. At present …

This study aimed to investigate the presence of pathogens in the engorged ticks infesting
domestic cattle, their ova, and unfed larvae. The engorged female ticks infesting domestic …
