Molecular methods have increased the number of known microorganisms associated with ticks significantly. Some of these newly identified microorganisms are readily linked to human disease while others are yet unknown to cause human disease. The face of tick-borne disease discovery has changed with more diseases now being discovered in a "reversed way," detecting disease cases only years after th...

Blood borne infectious diseases are usually a public concern. The transmissions of many diseases are via blood borne mode. Several activities are related to this transmission such as injection, blood transfusion and transplantation. Also, the acupuncture practice can be a possible route for blood borne infectious disease transmission. In this specific review, the author briefly reviews acupunct...

Soil-borne diseases are a significant cause of reduction in crop yield. Alternative management soils can enhance the natural disease-controlling organisms soil. This study explores impact alternative production methods on primary soybean disease, charcoal rot, caused by fungus Macrophomina phaseolina. Treatments that could potentially or control disease were implemented, and soil tests conducte...

Chagas disease and leishmaniasis are vector-borne infectious diseases affecting both humans animals. These neglected tropical can be fatal if not treated. Hundreds to thousands of new disease...

Tick-borne diseases are on the rise. Lyme borreliosis is prevalent throughout the Northern Hemisphere, and the same Ixodes tick species transmitting the etiologic agents of this disease also serve as vectors of pathogens causing human babesiosis, human granulocytic anaplasmosis, and tick-borne encephalitis. Recently, several novel agents of rickettsial diseases have been described. Despite an e...
