An Update of Evidence for Pathogen Transmission by Ticks of the Genus Hyalomma

Current and likely future changes in the geographic distribution of ticks belonging to the genus are of concern, as these ticks are believed to be vectors of many pathogens responsible for human and animal diseases. However, we have observed that for many pathogens there are no vector competence exp...

Description
Summary:Current and likely future changes in the geographic distribution of ticks belonging to the genus are of concern, as these ticks are believed to be vectors of many pathogens responsible for human and animal diseases. However, we have observed that for many pathogens there are no vector competence experiments, and that the level of evidence provided by the scientific literature is often not sufficient to validate the transmission of a specific pathogen by a specific species. We therefore carried out a bibliographical study to collate the validation evidence for the transmission of parasitic, viral, or bacterial pathogens by spp. ticks. Our results show that there are very few validated cases of pathogen transmission by tick species.
