The evolving story of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato transmission in Europe. [PDF]
Parasitol Res, 2022 Beside mosquitoes, ticks are well-known vectors of different human pathogens. In the Northern Hemisphere, Lyme borreliosis (Eurasia, LB) or Lyme disease (North America, LD) is the most commonly occurring vector-borne infectious disease caused by bacteria
