First field trial treating rodents with isoxazoline baits (Fluralaner) reduced Ixodes tick loads on wild mice, bringing us one step closer to breaking the transmission cycle for tick-borne diseases in natural settings.

A new, agent-based model by postdoc Olivia Tardy, building on her work simulating continental-scale tick-borne disease spread, but this time examining the more fine-scale ecological processes involved in vector-borne disease emergence.

Dr @ConanAnne with @CarolineSauv1 & colleagues from @RossVetSchool & @UAustraldeChile, studied the genetic diversity of Bartonella spp. in St. Kitts and found high prevalences in mongooses and their fleas as well as a novel Bartonella species.
