We report the complete and annotated genome sequence of Rickettsia helvetica strain C9P9, which was first isolated in 1979 from Ixodes ricinus ticks in Switzerland and is considered a human pathogen.

Vector-borne diseases, particularly those caused by species, pose a significant public health threat in Europe. Despite extensive research on tick-borne pathogens in various European countries, Luxembourg has yet not been studied for spp. in ticks infesting domestic animals.

Article Synopsis
- Migratory birds can carry ticks and be reservoirs for tick-borne pathogens (TBPs) based on a study conducted on Ixodes ricinus ticks from specific bird species in Poland.
- A high-throughput microfluidic real-time PCR method was used to detect TBPs in ticks, revealing that 47.41% of the specimens were infected with at least one TBP, with differences in prevalence among the bird species studied.
- Phylogenetic analysis indicated the circulation of specific haplotypes of TBPs, suggesting that the ticks are widely distributed across various hosts in Central Europe.

Vector-borne diseases pose a significant threat to human and animal health worldwide, with arthropods, including fleas and lice, acting as key vectors for transmitting various pathogens. In Uzbekistan, where millions of domestic dogs coexist with humans, the diversity of vector-borne pathogens carried by ectoparasites remains largely unexplored. This study aimed to investigate the diversity and prevalence of lice and pathogens carried by fleas and lice collected from domestic dogs in Uzbekistan.

UCD School of Veterinary Sciences, University College Dublin, Belfield, Dublin 4, Ireland. Electronic address:
Ixodes ricinus is the most important tick vector in central and western Europe and one of the most researched parasites. However, in the published literature on the tick and the pathogens it transmits, conjecture about specific transmission cycles and the clinical significance of certain microbes is not always clearly separated from confirmed facts. This article aims to present up-to-date, evidence-based information about the well-researched human pathogens tick-borne encephalitis virus, louping-ill virus, Anaplasma phagocytophilum, Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato and several Babesia species, with a focus on their development in the tick, transmission dynamics and the reservoir hosts that support their circulation in the environment.
