Tick-, flea- and mite-borne pathogens and associated diseases of public health importance in Bangladesh: a review.
Infect Med (Beijing)
December 2024
Jiann-Ping Hsu College of Public Health, Georgia Southern University, Statesboro, GA 30458, USA.
Background: This scoping review provides a baseline summary of the current records of the ticks, fleas, and mites of public health importance that are present in Bangladesh. It summarizes their geographic distributions and reports the levels of their infestation of livestock, pets, wildlife, and humans, and the clinical and epidemiological studies pertinent to these vectors and their pathogens.
Methods: Sixty-one articles were identified in a literature search, including 43 published since 2011.

Article Synopsis
- * Researchers utilized semi-nest PCR and nest PCR techniques to detect various tick-borne pathogens, finding positive results in 7.15% for certain pathogens and a variety of protozoa in the ticks.
- * Notably, this research marks the first identification of Ca. R. principis in this area, highlighting the diverse tick population and pathogen prevalence, which aids in understanding and preventing tick-borne diseases locally.

Bovine babesiosis is a vector-borne disease transmitted by ticks that causes important losses in livestock worldwide. Recent research performed on the drugs currently used to control bovine babesiosis reported several issues including drug resistance, toxicity impact, and residues in edible tissue, suggesting the need for developing novel effective therapies. The endochin-like quinolones ELQ-316 and buparvaquone (BPQ) act as cytochrome 1 inhibitors and have been proven to be safe and efficacious against related apicomplexans, such as spp.

Laboratory of Diagnostics in Veterinary Clinical Pathology, Federal Rural University of the Semi-Arid, Mossoró 59625-900, RN, Brazil.
Background/objectives: Trypanosomiasis and bovine babesiosis correspond to important diseases that cause great economic losses, but there are still no studies evaluating their occurrence in herds of dairy cattle in Ceará. The aim of this study was to perform molecular diagnosis of the main hemoparasites of dairy cows in the microregion of the central hinterland of Ceará.
Methods: For the molecular diagnosis of parasites, genomic material was extracted and polymerase chain reaction directed to the cdCatL-like gene for and SS rRNA of and was performed.

Article Synopsis
- Bovine babesiosis, a disease caused by a parasite carried by ticks, poses a global threat to cattle, highlighting the need for new vaccines.
- Researchers identified immune-subdominant (ISD) antigens, specifically rRAP-1 NT and rRRA, which elicited lower antibody responses compared to dominant antigens in previously protected cattle.
- Vaccination of cattle with rRRA and rRAP-1 NT showed promising results, as most immunized animals developed strong immune responses and experienced a delay in sickness symptoms when exposed to the parasite, indicating the potential for these ISD antigens in developing future vaccines.
