Diversity of questing ticks and prevalence of tick-associated pathogens in Khao Kheow-Khao Chomphu Wildlife Sanctuary, Chon Buri, Thailand.
Curr Res Parasitol Vector Borne Dis
October 2024
Ixodid ticks are important vectors for tick-borne diseases distributed worldwide, including Thailand. Recreation areas within wildlife habitats are considered high-risk zones for tick exposure and tick-borne disease in humans. The study aimed to determine seasonal variations in tick diversity and pathogen prevalence in Khao Kheow-Khao Chomphu Wildlife Sanctuary, Chon Buri, Thailand.

- 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.
Article Synopsis
- - Ticks are serious public health threats in Southeast Asia, transmitting various pathogens to humans and animals, making their management a complex issue due to the region's diverse ecology and tick species.
- - The article summarizes findings from a recent symposium in Phnom Penh, covering tick research from six SEA countries, advancements in research methods for tick-borne diseases, and outcomes from discussions on key challenges in the field.
- - Highlighted advancements include new diagnostic tools and sustainable tick management strategies, emphasizing the need for better surveillance and cooperation across regions to effectively counter tick-borne diseases.
Infection, dissemination, and transmission of lumpy skin disease virus in Aedes aegypti (Linnaeus), Culex tritaeniorhynchus (Giles), and Culex quinquefasciatus (Say) mosquitoes.

Lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV) is a transboundary viral disease in cattle and water buffaloes. Although this Poxvirus is supposedly transmitted by mechanical vectors, only a few studies have investigated the role of local vectors in the transmission of LSDV. This study examined the infection, dissemination, and transmission rates of LSDV in Aedes aegypti, Culex tritaeniorhynchus, and Culex quinquefasciatus following artificial membrane feeding of 10, 10, 10 TCID/mL LSDV in sheep blood.
