Predicting Novel Tick Vectors of Zoonotic Disease
With the resurgence of tick-borne diseases such as Lyme disease and the emergence of new pathogens such as Powassan virus, understanding what distinguishes vector from non-vector species, and predicting undiscovered tick vectors is an important step towards mitigating human disease risk. We apply generalized boosted regression to interrogate over 90 features for over 240 species of Ixodes ticks...
متن کاملWild cervids are host for tick vectors of babesia species with zoonotic capability in Belgium.
Babesiosis is a tick-borne disease caused by different species of intraerythrocytic protozoan parasites within the genus Babesia. Different species of Babesia are described as potentially zoonotic and cause a malaria-like disease mainly in immunocompromised humans. Interest in the zoonotic potential of Babesia is growing and babesiosis has been described by some authors as an emergent zoonotic ...
متن کاملCultivation of Babesia and Babesia-like blood parasites: agents of an emerging zoonotic disease.
Babesia and its close relatives are members of a group of organisms called piroplasms, a name which comes from their pear-shaped outlines. Long associated with blood diseases of cattle and other mammals, members of the genus Babesia have been recognized since the 1950s as infectious agents in humans. Species of this protozoan blood parasite that have routinely been isolated from mice (B. microt...

Background: Babesia microti, a tick-borne parasite endemic to the northeast and upper Midwest, is the primary cause of human babesiosis in the United States. Although these infections are usually subclinical or self-limited in immunocompetent people, severe disease can be present in susceptible populations (including the elderly or immunocompromised). Here, infections result in hemolytic anemia...
