A First Look at the Relationship Between Large Herbivore-Induced Landscape Modifications and Ixodes ricinus Tick Abundance in Rewilding Sites.
Abstract
Background: While the influence of landscape and microclimatic conditions on tick populations is well-documented, there remains a gap in more specific data regarding their relationship to rewilding efforts with large herbivore activity....

Hyalomma marginatum in Europe: The Past, Current Status, and Future Challenges—A Systematic Review
Abstract
Hyalomma marginatum is a prominent tick vector responsible for transmitting various pathogens, including the Crimean–Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV), across Europe. This systematic review consolidates findings from 144 publication...

Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever virus in ticks, domestic, and wild animals
Abstract
Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) poses a significant public health threat due to its potential for causing severe disease in humans and its wide geographic distribution. The virus, primarily transmitted by Hyalomma ticks, ...

Mapping the potential distribution of the principal vector of Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever virus Hyalomma marginatum in the Old World
Abstract
Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is the most widely distributed tick-borne viral disease in humans and is caused by the Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV). The virus has a broader distribution, expanding from western ...

Genetic background of adaptation of Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever virus to the different tick hosts
Abstract
Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever orthonairovirus (CCHFV) is a negative-sense, single-stranded RNA virus with a segmented genome and the causative agent of a severe Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF) disease. The virus is transmitte...

Root exRNAs as Mediators of Environmental and Microbial Interactions
In our study on maize root exudates (Henry, C. et al, 2025, in preparation), we developed a non-invasive rhizosampling method that enables the repeated capture of metabolites and microbiomes from soil-grown maize over time. Using LC-MS metabolomic...

Dynamic Regulation of Symbiotic Nitrogen Fixation
Soybean nodules offer an ideal system for dissecting RNA-mediated regulation of symbiosis. Through dual RNA-seq and small RNA profiling from 2–10 weeks post-inoculation, we identified three distinct nodule developmental phases: early development, ...
