Exploration of tick-borne pathogens and microbiota of dog ticks collected at Potchefstroom Animal Welfare Society
(North-West University (South Africa), 2019)Ticks are blood-feeding pests of domestic and wild animals. Next to mosquitoes ticks are notorious for the transmission of pathogenic organisms to their mammalian hosts. Companion animals also suffer from tick infestations ... -
Genetic characterization of tick-borne pathogens in ticks infesting cattle and sheep from three South African provinces
(Elsevier, 2019)Ticks are involved in the transmission of many public health and veterinary important pathogens. Although tick-borne pathogens are widely distributed in South Africa, information on tick-pathogen relationship needs to be ... -
Molecular detection and characterization of tick-borne protozoan and rickettsial pathogens isolated from cattle on Pemba Island, Tanzania
(Elsevier, 2018)Tick-borne diseases cause significant losses to livestock production in tropical and subtropical regions. In Tanzania, detailed studies on tick-borne pathogens in cattle using sensitive molecular detection methods are ... -
Molecular detection and genetic characterisation of pathogenic Theileria, Anaplasma and Ehrlichia species among apparently healthy sheep in central and western Kenya
(AOSIS, 2019)Tick-borne diseases (TBDs) caused by Theileria, Babesia, Anaplasma and Ehrlichia species are common in tropical and subtropical regions. In this study, we investigated the presence and genetic diversity of Theileria spp., ... -
Molecular survey for tick-borne pathogens and associated risk factors in sheep and goats in Kano Metropolis, Nigeria
(Elsevier, 2022)Tick-borne pathogens (TBPs) pose an increased health and productivity risk to livestock in sub-Saharan Africa. Information regarding TBPs infecting small ruminants in Kano metropolis is scarce. Therefore, we investigated ... -
Prevalence and molecular characterization of ticks and tick-borne pathogens of one-humped camels (Camelus dromedarius) in Nigeria
(BMC, 2020)Background Ticks are hematophagous arthropods responsible for maintenance and transmission of several pathogens of veterinary and medical importance. Current knowledge on species diversity and pathogens transmitted by ... -
Reptiles of South Africa as hosts for tickborne pathogens and haemoparasites
(North-West University (South Africa), 2023)Haemoparasites, ticks, and tickborne bacterial microorganisms have been reported in a variety of vertebrate and invertebrate hosts. Reptiles have been documented as hosts for ticks, tickassociated microorganisms, as well ...
