Article Synopsis
  • - The study focuses on Hyalomma dromedarii ticks, which are significant for transmitting pathogens to large animals in Egypt, especially as camels and cattle are imported from neighboring countries.
  • - Researchers analyzed the transcriptome of these ticks by examining mixed mRNAs from various life stages (eggs, larvae, nymphs, and both fed and unfed adults) to understand the biochemical interactions that take place during tick feeding.
  • - The results included a comparison of identified sequences with databases to identify potential protein functions and properties, setting the stage for further understanding of tick physiology and its implications for disease transmission in livestock.

A survey study was carried out to identify tick species parasitizing wild lagomorphs in Mediterranean ecosystems in southern Spain and to determine the occurrence of Rickettsia species present in these ticks in this region. A total of 1304 European wild rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) and 58 Iberian hares (Lepus granatensis) were individually examined for the presence of ticks. Ticks were found in 42.
