As obligate blood-feeding arthropods, ticks transmit pathogens to humans and domestic animals more often than other arthropod vectors. Livestock farming plays a vital role in the rural economy of Pakistan, tick infestation causes serious problems with it. However, research on species diversity tick-borne has rarely been conducted Pakistan. In this study, systematic investigation infesting livestock different ecological regions Pakistan was determine microbiome pathobiome indigenous ticks.
<h2>Summary</h2><h3>Background</h3> Global evaluations of the progress towards WHO End TB Strategy 2020 interim milestones on mortality (35% reduction) and incidence (20% have not been age specific. We aimed to assess global, regional, national-level burdens trends in tuberculosis its risk factors across five separate groups, from 1990 2021, report age-specific between 2015 2020. <h3>Methods</h3> used Burden Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors Study 2021 (GBD 2021) analytical framework compute...
Cancers represent a challenging public health threat in Asia. This study examines the temporal patterns of incidence, mortality, disability and risk factors 29 cancers Asia last three decades. The age, sex year-wise estimates disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) for 49 Asian countries from 1990 through 2019 were generated as part Global Burden Disease, Injuries Risk Factors study. Besides mortality DALYs, we also examined cancer burden measured terms DALYs deaths attributable to factors,...
Although ticks prevalent in various agro-systems of Pakistan are associated with economic losses, information is still missing about the tick’s diversity, hosts they infest, seasonal dynamic and molecular phylogeny Rhipicephalus microplus Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Pakistan. This study for first time enlisted infesting diverse including human regions KP. A total 8,641 were collected across north, south central KP morpho-taxonomically categorized into six genera comprising 18 species, R....
Despite the well documented consequences of obesity during childhood and adolescence future risks excess body mass on non-communicable diseases in adulthood, coordinated global action early life is still insufficient. Inconsistent measurement reporting are a barrier to specific targets, resource allocation, interventions. In this Article we report current estimates overweight across adolescence, progress over time, forecasts inform actions. Using established methodology from Global Burden...
Studies on ticks infesting equids are lacking in various parts of the world, including Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), Pakistan. The aim this study was to investigate diversity equids, associated risk factors and rickettsial detection from KP.Inspection 404 equid hosts November 2018 October 2019 resulted collection 550 ticks. Data tick-associated were collected owners by means a questionnaire. After morphological identification, partial DNA sequences tick mitochondrial 16S rRNA gene used for...
Ticks transmit pathogens to animals and humans more often than any other arthropod vector. The rural economy of Pakistan mainly depends on livestock farming, tick infestations cause severe problems in this sector. present study aimed molecularly characterize the Anaplasma spp. hard ticks collected from six districts Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. were various hosts, including cattle breeds (Holstein-Friesian, Jersey, Sahiwal, Achai), Asian water buffaloes, sheep, goats March 2018 February...
SARS-CoV-2 vaccines have contributed to the control of COVID-19 in some parts world. However, constant emergence variants concern (VOCs) challenges effectiveness over time. In particular, Omicron contains a high number mutations spike (S) protein gene, on which most were developed. this study, we quantitated neutralizing antibodies vaccine recipients at various times postvaccination using S protein-based pseudoviruses derived from wild type (WT) and five VOCs including Alpha (B.1.1.7), Beta...
Rickettsia spp. associated with ticks infesting wild animals have been mostly neglected in several countries, including Pakistan. To address this knowledge gap, were collected during 2017 to 2021 from cats (Felis chaus), Indian hedgehogs (Paraechinus micropus), and boars (Sus scrofa). The morpho-molecularly identified screened for the detection of Morphologically categorized into four species genus Rhipicephalus: Rhipicephalus haemaphysaloides, Rh. turanicus, sanguineus sensu lato (s.l),...
Bartonella henselae is a Gram-negative bacterium causing variety of clinical symptoms, ranging from cat-scratch disease to severe systemic infections, and it primarily transmitted by infected fleas. Its status as an emerging zoonotic pathogen its capacity persist within host erythrocytes endothelial cells emphasize significance. Despite progress in understanding pathogenesis, limited knowledge exists about the virulence factors regulatory mechanisms specific B. strain Houston-1. Exploring...
Abstract Background Tick control is mostly hampered by the rise of acaricide-resistant tick populations. Significant efforts have focused on developing alternative methods, including cross-species protective and/or cocktail-based anti-tick vaccines, to achieve protection against various species. Methods In this study, full-length open reading frames encoding subolesin (SUB) from Rhipicephalus microplus and ferritin 2 (FER2) Hyalomma anatolicum as well partial 60S acidic ribosomal protein...
Ticks have serious impacts on animal and human health, causing significant economic losses in cattle breeding. Besides damage due to the hematophagous behavior, they transmit several pathogens. Low cost environmental safety made vaccines a promising alternative control method against tick infestation. Metalloproteases (MPs) been shown be essential for diverse biological functions organisms, inhibiting blood clotting, degrading extracellular matrix proteins, host tissue repair via...
Hard ticks (Ixodida: Ixodidae) are medically important ectoparasites that feed on all classes of terrestrial vertebrates. Recently, we molecularly characterized hard and associated Anaplasma spp. in the northern central regions Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), Pakistan; however, this knowledge was missing southern regions. This study aimed to investigate tick prevalence, host range, genetic diversity, molecular survey a wide range species two distinct physiographic KP. A total 1873 were randomly...
