First detection of <i>Cytauxzoon</i> spp. DNA in questing <i>Ixodes ricinus</i> nymphs

2025-08-06

Abstract excerpt

Feline cytauxzoonosis is an emerging tick-borne disease in Europe. While infections have been reported in different European countries, the tick vector remains unknown. This study investigated 665 ticks collected in 2019 (n= 160), 2022 (n= 7) and 2024 (n= 658) in a Cytauxzoon spp. hotspot region in central Switzerland (62 ticks from cats; 603 ticks from vegetation). Ticks were morphologically characterized, poole...
