The abundance of the Lyme disease pathogen Borrelia afzelii declines over time in the tick vector Ixodes ricinus

open access: yesParasites & Vectors, 2017
Background The population dynamics of vector-borne pathogens inside the arthropod vector can have important consequences for vector-to-host transmission.

Clinical Characteristics in Danish Children and Adults Diagnosed With Neuroborreliosis: A Retrospective Study From January 2016 to January 2024

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Neurology, Volume 32, Issue 7, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Introduction Lyme neuroborreliosis (NB), is caused by tick‐borne spirochetes in the Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (Bbsl) genospecies complex. Although the clinical manifestations of NB in adults and children are well documented, understanding neurobiological differences between these groups can improve diagnostic accuracy and treatment ...

Questing abundance of adult taiga ticks Ixodes persulcatus and their Borrelia prevalence at the north-western part of their distribution

open access: yesParasites & Vectors, 2020
Background Because ixodid ticks are vectors of zoonotic pathogens, including Borrelia, information of their abundance, seasonal variation in questing behaviour and pathogen prevalence is important for human health.

Heterologous Surface Display Reveals Conserved Complement Inhibition and Functional Diversification of Borrelia burgdorferi Elp Proteins

open access: yesMolecular Microbiology, Volume 124, Issue 1, Page 77-90, July 2025.
A novel approach using the Pseudomonas syringae ice nucleation protein (INP) system to present Borrelia burgdorferi lipoproteins on the surface of Escherichia coli reveals conservation of complement inhibitory functions among uncharacterized OspE/F‐like leader peptide (Elp) proteins.

There Goes the Neighbourhood—A Multi‐City Study Reveals Ticks and Tick‐Borne Pathogens Commonly Occupy Urban Green Spaces

open access: yesZoonoses and Public Health, Volume 72, Issue 3, Page 313-323, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Introduction Humans acquire tick‐borne pathogens (TBPs) from infected ticks contacted during outdoor activities. Outdoor activity is at its highest in urban green spaces, where the presence of tick populations has increasingly been observed. Consequently, more insight into factors influencing the presence of ticks therein is needed.

The Release of Non‐Native Gamebirds Is Associated With Amplified Zoonotic Disease Risk

open access: yesEcology Letters, Volume 28, Issue 4, April 2025.
Spillback is potentially an important mechanism by which non‐natives contribute to zoonotic disease emergence. We capitalise on quasi‐experimental releases of non‐native pheasants (Phasianus colchicus) to compare native pathogen prevalence between sites with similar local conditions but different non‐native densities. Prevalence of Borrelia sp.

Geographical Distribution of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato in Ticks Collected from Wild Rodents in the Republic of Korea

open access: yesPathogens, 2020
Lyme disease is a tick-borne zoonotic disease caused by Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (s. l.) via transmission cycles involving competent tick vectors and vertebrate reservoirs.

Opinion and report of the French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety (ANSES) on the assessment of the impact of fox population dynamics on public health

open access: yesFood Risk Assess Europe, Volume 3, Issue 2, April 2025.
ABSTRACT The Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes) can be hunted as a game species. It may also be listed as a “species likely to cause damage” (ESOD – the acronym in French), for public health reasons among others. Conversely, benefits linked to the presence of foxes are also put forward, such as the predation of rodents carrying zoonotic agents.

The Comparative Characteristics of Spontaneous Infection of Ticks in Natural Foci of Bacterial Tick-Borne Infections in Natural Foci in the Western and Eastern Baikal Region

open access: yesЭпидемиология и вакцинопрофилактика
Relevance. The study of natural foci of infections transmitted by ticks is an integral part of the study of the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of this group of diseases and their manifestations in various endemic areas.The aim of this work ...

Zoonotic Tick‐Borne Pathogens in Ixodes ricinus Complex (Acari: Ixodidae) From Urban and Peri‐Urban Areas of Kosovo

open access: yesZoonoses and Public Health, Volume 72, Issue 2, Page 174-183, March 2025.
ABSTRACT Introduction Ixodes ricinus, the castor bean tick, is the most prevalent tick species in Europe. It favours habitats such as shrubs, deciduous and mixed forests, but can also be found in urban environments. Due to its high vector competence, it is of enormous veterinary as well as medical importance, transmitting tick‐borne encephalitis (TBE ...
