Article Synopsis
- Ticks are blood-feeding parasites that spread diseases, affecting pets, livestock, and wildlife, and they are particularly important in maintaining and spreading tick-borne pathogens in ecosystems.
- This study conducted at Khao Kheow Open Zoo in Thailand collected ticks over a year, identifying 10,436 ticks and screening for pathogens using PCR and DNA sequencing techniques.
- Results showed a high infection rate, with multiple tick species harboring various bacteria and protozoa, indicating potential co-infection, and suggesting the need for monitoring wildlife health and developing tick management strategies.
insects are important ectoparasites of cervids and may affect humans that are incidentally bitten. The presence of zoonotic pathogen DNA, such as , and , raises the importance of insects in veterinary and human medicine. Eld's deer (), an endangered wild ruminant in Thailand, are bred and raised in the open zoo.

A total of 223 samples from 2 types of corn residue - dried and wet - were collected. Mold contamination was determined by spread plate technique, and aflatoxin B (AFB) quantification was performed by a commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
