Ticks are important vectors of pathogens, producing diseases in animals and humans. The planning of information campaigns or prevention programs is heavily based on the knowledge of highly detailed data on tick distribution. This study reports unpublished data on the distribution of more than 30,000 tick specimens, collected by active surveys in the years 1985-2024 in Spain, from 2285 surveys in 1636 unique sites, providing coordinates with variable accuracy. The report covers new records of , , , , , , , , , and (either s.s. or s.l.). Other species were sporadically collected. Many specimens have been re-examined for accurate identification according to current taxonomic views, mainly in the genus . We summarized this newly available information using the Köppen-Geiger climate classification. This compilation of unpublished tick records pinpoints the importance of the systematic monitoring of ticks. It is intended as the baseline over which the ongoing national tick collection program is built in order to track the long-term changes of tick distribution in Spain, because of the land use changes, the spread of invasive vertebrates, or the climate trends.

Background: Cupressus sempervirens is one of the conifer plants, that is used as an antimicrobial, antioxidant, anthelminthic, and many other health purposes. Rhipicephalus annulatus is one of the hard tick genera affecting the production and health of domestic animals in Egypt. Extensive use of chemical acaricides in the management of ticks caused acaricide resistance, environmental contamination, residues in meat and milk, and harmful effects on non-target species.

Debyelaan 25, 6229 HX, Maastricht, the Netherlands.
Background & Aims: Medical nutrition therapy (MNT) is commonly used in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) undergoing intensive remission-induction treatment to prevent malnutrition, particularly the loss of fat-free mass (FFM)/muscle mass, as well as associated adverse outcomes. However, studies examining the associations between proactive versus wait-and-see approaches toward MNT and nutritional, physical, and clinical outcomes in these patients are lacking. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the associations between these different MNT approaches and body composition changes, as well as physical and clinical outcomes in AML/MDS patients undergoing intensive remission-induction treatment.

Rosacea is a common chronic dermatological disease that negatively affects the quality of life of patients. Combination therapy with 1% ivermectin solution alongside systemic treatment methods is more effective in reducing the severity of moderate to severe papulopustular rosacea symptoms compared with traditional treatment methods alone. This study is aimed at finding new approaches to the treatment of moderate and severe forms of rosacea.
