is of importance to the Australian setting, and work needs to be extended to tropical coastal communities where fleas are present as well as ticks. Dogs living in and around Aboriginal communities may provide valuable sentinel information on disease infection status of human public health significance...

Canine hepatozoonosis was firstly diagnosed in Brazil during the 1970s [72]. This disease is caused byHepatozoon canis(Apicomplexa: Hepatozoidae) (Fig.6), which has recently been molecularly characterized in Brazil [73–75]. Dogs become infected by ingestion of a tick containing matureH. canis...
Global warming, combined with globalization and the movement of goods and vectors worldwide [21], is redrawing a map of vector-borne diseases. Indeed, as temperatures rise and precipitation patterns shift, the geographic ranges of vectors expand in latitude and altitude, allowing these disease carri...
Adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors are the leading platform for gene delivery for the treatment of a variety of human diseases. Recent advances in developing clinically desirable AAV capsids, optimizing genome designs and harnessing revolutionary biotechnologies have contributed substantially to the growt...
The Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri Kuwayama (Hemiptera: Psyllidae), is the most important pest of citrus worldwide because it serves as a vector of "Candidatus Liberibacter" species (Alphaproteobacteria) that cause huanglongbing (citrus greening disease). All commercially cultivated citrus is su...

One potential pathway that invasive species alter human disease risk is by impacting the structure of vertebrate communities5,8. In a given community, individual vertebrate species (both wild and domestic) contribute ...
Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) causes an important zoonotic vector-borne disease first isolated from a human in Japan in 1935 (ref. 1). It is currently present in East and Southeast Asia and Australia2,3. The annual incidence of human cases is reported to be in the range of 50,000–...
