Abstract The Rhipicephalus sanguineus group is an assembly of species morphologically and phylogenetically related to sensu stricto. taxonomy systematics this have remained obscure for a long time, but extensive research conducted during the past two decades has closed many knowledge gaps. These advancements culminated in redescription R. stricto, with subsequent revalidation former synonyms ( linnaei , rutilus secundus ) even description new afranicus hibericus ). With much clearer picture these species, we present updated list belonging group, along review their geographic distribution vector role various pathogens animals humans. We also identify gaps be bridged future studies. Graphical abstract

Canine vector-borne diseases (CVBDs) are of major concern in veterinary medicine worldwide. Amongst the arthropods transmitting CVBD-causing pathogens, brown dog tick (Rhipicephalus sanguineus sensu lato) is an important vector agents, such as Babesia vogeli, Cercopithifilaria spp., Ehrlichia canis, Hepatozoon and Anaplasma platys. While data on CVBDs transmitted by Rh. s.l. limited Morocco, Leishmania phlebotomine sand flies, known to be endemic several regions country. In this study, we investigated occurrence tick-borne pathogens (TBPs) (i.e., Rickettsia spp.), spp. filarioids shelter dogs their ticks central Morocco. Blood samples were collected from 144 dogs, 5,363 removed 314 same population. DNA extracted blood 276 (divided into 55 pools) screened for selected PCR sequencing. Ticks morphologically identified s.l., molecular analysis 10 representative specimens confirmed them s.s. Out tested, 78 (54.1%) scored positive at least one pathogen, with 15 (10.4%) being co-infected. H. canis was most prevalent pathogen (38.2%, 55/144), followed (15.3%; 22/144), A. platys (5.6%; 8/144), B. vogeli E. (2.8%; 4/144). Tick pools (36.4%; n = 20/55).

Abstract Background Canine vector-borne diseases (CVBDs) have significant clinical and public health implications.Methods This experimental study used a validated continuous flow in vitro feeding system (CFIFS) to investigate the speed of transmission (SOT) three tick-borne pathogens (TBPs): Ehrlichia canis by laboratory-infected Rhipicephalus sanguineus (18.3% infection rate), Anaplasma phagocytophilum Ixodes ricinus (56%), Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto (s.s.) I. (76%). Three experiment were conducted, one per pathogen/tick model. Fifty eight sixty ticks systems. Four six replicates done experiment. All from lab-reared. The tick infections performed nymphal stages on infected hosts.Results began attach feed hours after being introduced system. At maximum attachment, 89.7% R.sanguineus attached at 57 hours, 4 30% attachement 51 for I.ricinus with A.phagocytophilum 6.3 47.9% 48 s.s.. PCR tests detect presence blood samples collected every hours. Swab inner face membrane also tested during B. s.s. study. In this design, first attachments noticed, has SOT 3–6 A. 12–15 42–45 blood, but only swabs.Conclusion findings highlight time some pathogens, confirming previous data obtained or vivo, using same design all tick/pathogen It is way estimate possibility acaricidal drugs block pathogen based kill these compounds.

Abstract Background Canine babesiosis is a tick-borne disease of significant veterinary importance in dogs. It caused by Babesia canis Europe, where it transmitted Dermacentor reticulatus ticks. Methods A blinded, randomized, good clinical practice (GCP) and negative control experimental study was conducted to verify the efficacy NexGard Spectra® reducing transmission B. D.
