Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 39, Issue 1, Page 122-133, March 2025.We developed a rapid, effective technique for surveying for Ornithodoros turicata, a vector of African swine fever virus using gopher tortoise burrows. When working under a time constraint during tick collection, vacuuming substrate from the top meter of the burrow followed by sifting for soft ticks outperformed CO2 traps.

International Journal of Microbiology, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.Ticks, particularly Ixodes ricinus, are significant vectors of pathogens such as Borrelia spp. and tick‐borne encephalitis virus (TBEV), which cause Lyme borreliosis (LB) and tick‐borne encephalitis (TBE), respectively. Understanding how these pathogens interact within the tick microbiome is essential for developing vector control strategies.
