The complete mitochondrial genome of Hyalomma rufipes (Acari: Ixodidae) from China and comparative analysis of mitogenomes in genus Hyalomma

Jiayi Lang et al.

Summary: The complete mitochondrial genome of the coarse-legged tick Hyalomma rufipes from China was obtained using next-generation sequencing methods. Comparison with a South African isolate revealed differences in gene arrangement, gene length, and termination codons. Gene rearrangement was also observed in tick mitogenomes, and phylogenetic analysis clarified the relationships between tick species.

Tick exposure and risk of tick-borne pathogens infection in hunters and hunting dogs: a citizen science approach

Giovanni Sgroi et al.

Summary: Citizen science can involve community members and individuals in research, aside from professional scientists. By collecting samples from hunters and their dogs in southern Italy, this study found a high prevalence of tick-borne pathogens in ticks, indicating a significant risk of exposure for hunters and their hunting dogs during hunting activities.

A new report of adult Hyalomma marginatum and Hyalomma rufipes in the Czech Republic

Paulina Maria Lesiczka et al.

Summary: This study reports the finding and molecular identification of important virus vectors H. marginatum and H. rufipes from horses in different regions of Czech Republic, indicating their possible introduction from their natural range by migratory birds into Central and Western Europe. Due to their vector competence and potential expansion into new areas, surveillance programs in Europe are recommended.

Widespread Detection of Multiple Strains of Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Virus in Ticks, Spain

Maria Paz Sanchez-Seco et al.

Summary: This study found that Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) virus is widespread in Spain, predominantly in the tick species Hyalomma lusitanicum. Red deer were identified as the host most frequently carrying positive ticks.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Citizen Science to Complement Traditional Data Gathering Approaches for Medically Important Hard Ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) in the United States

Lars Eisen et al.

Summary: Tick-borne diseases are on the rise in North America, leading to an increased interest in understanding local tick species and associated pathogens. Citizen science is seen as a potential way to supplement traditional data gathering methods, but caution is needed when interpreting the generated information to avoid misleading conclusions.

Detection of new Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever virus genotypes in ticks feeding on deer and wild boar, Spain

Alberto Moraga-Fernandez et al.

Summary: The study in southwestern Spain identified the presence of Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) and detected the human genotype Europe V in ticks collected from various hosts. This suggests the widespread presence of CCHFV in the region, requiring more attention to the circulation of the virus.

Modelling the potential spread of Hyalomma marginatum ticks in Europe by migratory birds

Agustin Estrada-Pena et al.

Summary: This study modeled the probability of introduction of Hyalomma marginatum into Europe by predicting potential migratory routes of bird species and the probability of carrying tick immatures. The results show that the tick may extend its northern range to central and western France, and large portions of central Europe, but the probability of introduction into Baltic and Nordic countries is small.

New geographical area on the map of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus: First serological evidence in the Hungarian population

Nora Magyar et al.

Summary: A pilot sero-surveillance study in Hungary found a 0.37% seroprevalence of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever, with higher rates in western and central regions, male donors, and donors aged 18-34 years. The results suggest the need for extended surveillance targeting specific at-risk populations and animals, as well as raising awareness among clinicians and high-risk groups about the emerging threat of CCHF in Hungary.

L. McGinley et al.

Summary: Hyalomma marginatum is a widely distributed tick in the Mediterranean, Northern Africa, and the Middle East, known for transmitting various pathogens. A recent case in England reported the first human exposure to a locally acquired adult H. marginatum and the second detection of Rickettsia aeschlimannii associated with imported Hyalomma.

High prevalence and different genotypes of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus genome in questing unfed adult Hyalomma marginatum in Thrace, Turkey

Gurkan Akyildiz et al.

Summary: Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a tick-borne viral disease that is prevalent in countries south of the 50 degrees North Parallel. The primary vector of the disease is the Hyalomma genus, particularly the H. marginatum species. The study found a high percentage of questing ticks carrying CCHFV in a region with relatively low human cases, suggesting region-specific factors affecting disease dynamics.

New circulation of genotype V of Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever virus in humans from Spain

Lia Monsalve Arteaga et al.

Summary: The study found a new circulation of European genotype V CCHFV in Spain, indicating that CCHFV could be an identifiable cause of febrile illness with unknown origin in Spain. It suggests that CCHF should be suspected in patients with fever, liver damage, and/or haemorrhagic disorders, particularly in those with risk activities in the spring or summer.

Arif Ciloglu et al.

Summary: The mitochondrial genome of the Mediterranean tick was sequenced and characterized for the first time, revealing important genetic information such as protein-coding genes and tRNAs. Phylogenetic analysis based on tick DNA showed a monophyletic clade of four Hyalomma species, providing insights into their origin and evolution.

Koichiro Tamura et al.

Summary: MEGA software, a mature tool for computational molecular evolution, has been enhanced with new additions for building timetrees of species, pathogens, and gene families using rapid relaxed-clock methods. These additions include methods for estimating divergence times, confidence intervals, and new options for tagging sequences with spatiotemporal sampling information. The enhancements aim to improve user experience, result quality, and the pace of biological discovery.
