Phylogenetic Profiling and Molecular Detection of Babesia and Theileria spp. in Ticks Infesting Livestock Across Kashmir Valley, India

Molecular Detection of Tick-Borne Parasitic Pathogens in Ticks Collected from Animal Hosts in Chuy Province, Kyrgyzstan

Ticks collected from horses had the highest infection rates and greatest diversity of pathogens, while T. orientalis was the most common pathogen and T. ovis was exclusively found in ticks collected from sheep.

Molecular screening, regional infection patterns and phylogenetic characterization of spotted fever group Rickettsia in ticks from domestic animals in Uzbekistan.

Spotted fever group (SFG) Rickettsia spp. are emerging zoonotic pathogens transmitted by ixodid and argasid ticks. Despite the recognized importance of ticks as vectors in Central Asia, data on the prevalence and genetic diversity of SFG Rickettsia in Uzbekistan remain scarce. This study aimed to determine minimum infe...

Molecular Detection and Distribution of Rickettsia in Ticks Across the Country of Georgia

Findings highlight regional variation in Rickettsia prevalence and diversity and support the need for continued tick-borne disease surveillance in Georgia.

Molecular Analysis and Associated Risk Factors of Theileria annulata in Cattle from Various Zones of Balochistan, Pakistan

First molecular detection of Ehrlichia spp. and Theileria spp. closely related to Theileria parva in Hyalomma dromedarii ticks infesting camels in the United Arab Emirates

The first molecular evidence of Ehrlichia in H. dromedarii ticks in the UAE is provided and a Theileria isolate closely related to T. parva is identified, providing the first molecular evidence of this genus in H. dromedarii from the UAE.

Molecular detection and genetic diversity of Ehrlichia spp. in bats and bat-associated Reticulinasus soft ticks in Thailand.

Ehrlichia is a genus of Gram-negative, obligate intracellular bacteria that causes ehrlichiosis in a wide range of domestic and wild animals and is primarily transmitted by ticks. Although Ehrlichia species have been reported in numerous vertebrate hosts, their occurrence in bats remains poorly understood. Thailand, lo...
