TLDR
Data presented fill gaps into knowledge of VBPs in dogs, cats and wild canids in Iraq, indicating that different pathogens circulate amongst animal populations living in the same areas, possibly sharing the same tick vectors.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
The prevalence of Dirofilaria immitis and D. repens in the Old World.
Claudio Genchi,L.H. Kramer +1 more
TL;DR: In spite of the continuing spreading of heartworm infection, D. repens is the main concern in Europe, mostly for physicians, while the infection is nearly always asymptomatic in dogs.

Seroprevalence and associated risk factors for vector-borne pathogens in dogs from Egypt
Abdelfattah Selim,Abdullah D. Alanazi,Alireza Sazmand,Alireza Sazmand,Domenico Otranto,Domenico Otranto +5 more
TL;DR: Dogs play an important role as reservoirs of many zoonotic vector-borne pathogens worldwide, yet reports of caninevector-borne diseases in Egypt are scarce, and major risk factors associated with VBDs were living outdoors and tick infestation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vector-borne pathogens in dogs of different regions of Iran and Pakistan.
Roberta Iatta,Alireza Sazmand,Alireza Sazmand,Viet-Linh Nguyen,Farzad Nemati,Muhammad Ayaz,Zahra Bahiraei,Salman Zafari,Anna Giannico,Grazia Greco,Filipe Dantas-Torres,Domenico Otranto,Domenico Otranto +12 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive overview on the prevalence of vector-borne diseases in Iran and Pakistan where limited data are available was provided. But, the authors did not consider the zoonotic potential of some pathogens detected.

Canine vector-borne pathogens from dogs and ticks from Tamil Nadu, India.
Ranju Ravindran Santhakumari Manoj,Roberta Iatta,Maria Stefania Latrofa,Loredana Capozzi,Muthusamy Raman,Vito Colella,Domenico Otranto,Domenico Otranto +7 more
TL;DR: Blood samples and ticks were collected from stray dogs in Tamil Nadu, South India to assess the prevalence of CVBD-causing pathogens among host and vector populations and all animals scored negative for Leishmania spp.

Simone Morelli,Anastasia Diakou,Donato Traversa,Elisa Di Gennaro,Giulia Simonato,Mariasole Colombo,Dimitris Dimzas,Marika Grillini,Antonio Frangipane di Regalbono,Frederic Beugnet,Lénaïg Halos,Barbara Paoletti,Angela Di Cesare +12 more
TL;DR: The results of the molecular and phylogenetic analysis support a recent hypothesis indicating the existence of a species-complex classification for H. felis in cat populations from Greece and indicate that the infection may be present at high prevalences in different regions of the country.

MEGA6: Molecular Evolutionary Genetics Analysis Version 6.0
TL;DR: An advanced version of the Molecular Evolutionary Genetics Analysis software, which currently contains facilities for building sequence alignments, inferring phylogenetic histories, and conducting molecular evolutionary analysis, is released, which enables the inference of timetrees, as it implements the RelTime method for estimating divergence times for all branching points in a phylogeny.
Brief Communication MEGA6: Molecular Evolutionary Genetics Analysis Version 6.0
TL;DR: The Molecular Evolutionary Genetics Analysis (MEGA) software as discussed by the authors provides facilities for building sequence alignments, inferring phylogenetic histories, and conducting molecular evolutionary analysis, including the inference of timetrees.

Estimation of the number of nucleotide substitutions when there are strong transition-transversion and G+C-content biases.
TL;DR: A simple mathematical method is developed to estimate the number of nucleotide substitutions per site between two DNA sequences, by extending Kimura's (1980) two-parameter method to the case where a G+C-content bias exists.

Ticks and tick-borne diseases: a One Health perspective.
TL;DR: A contemporary review of representative tick-borne diseases of humans and aspects linked to their medical relevance worldwide are provided, calling physicians and veterinarians to unify their efforts in the management of these diseases, several of which are zoonoses.
