Article Synopsis
- Ticks are major ectoparasites that spread serious diseases like Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever, posing challenges for public health and livestock due to emerging resistance to acaricides.
- The review discusses how genetic mutations, metabolic processes, and behavior contribute to this resistance, while also highlighting the economic impact estimated at $20 billion in livestock loss annually.
- It emphasizes the need for new acaricides, innovative control strategies, and regular monitoring to effectively manage tick populations and protect public health and livestock productivity.

Poland suffered an epidemic of louse-borne typhus from 1916-1923, with 400,000 cases and more than 130,000 deaths. The causative factors were depressed economic conditions and a refugee crisis that engulfed Poland after World War I. The recognition of the epidemic in 1919 stimulated the creation of the League of Red Cross Societies (LRCS).

- - A survey of US infectious disease specialists found that 61 reported cases of Bartonella quintana infections from 2014 to 2024.
- - Key challenges in diagnosing these infections are a lack of awareness among healthcare providers, insufficient testing, and uneven access to healthcare for affected groups.
- - To enhance patient outcomes, it's crucial to improve early recognition of B. quintana infections.
