Tick-borne infections are the most common vector-borne diseases in the USA. Ticks harbor and transmit several infections with Lyme disease being the most common tickborne infection in the US and Europe. Lack of awareness about tick populations, specific diagnostic tests, and overlapping signs and symptoms of tick-borne infections can often lead to misdiagnosis affecting treatment and the prevalence data reported especially for non-Lyme tick-borne infections.

- Brucellosis is a sickness caused by bacteria that affects both people and animals, causing health problems and money loss in farming in Türkiye and other countries.
- Researchers studied the genes of 106 samples from animals and humans in Türkiye to understand how they differ from each other and from samples in other countries.
- The study found different types of the bacteria in Türkiye, showing they are also related to bacteria from neighboring countries and some European countries, which means travel might help spread the disease, so better controls are needed to keep it from spreading.
Introduction: Water distribution systems in hotels have been related to outbreaks caused by spp. Certain measures, including disinfection by chlorination, maintaining increased temperatures are usually undertaken to prevent outbreaks. However, these preventive strategies are not always effective, since there are several factors (e.

- - Brucellosis, caused by Brucella spp., is a disease prevalent in Greece, but cases are likely under-reported, and there's limited knowledge about the genetic diversity of the bacteria.
- - Researchers sequenced the genomes of 44 Brucella isolates from humans and animals in Greece, revealing various sublineages, including a novel subgenotype linked to Greek strains, with most isolates believed to have local origins.
- - The study highlights the presence of multiple persistent Brucella foci in Greece and emphasizes the need for improved sampling efforts to better track and understand outbreaks of the disease.
Brucellosis is an important bacterial zoonosis of domestic and wildlife species. This disease has a significant public health concern and is characterized by reproductive failure resulting in economic losses in the livestock industry. Among thirteen known species, and are human pathogens.
