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 ...

Cleaning Interactions Between Crows and Sika Deer: Implications for Tick‐Borne Disease Management
We found cleaning interactions between crows and sika deer to remove ectoparasites on deer in Japan. These interactions may contribute to reducing the risk of zoonotic disease. ABSTRACT Cleaning interactions between mammals and birds have been widely observed worldwide.

Woodland expansion and deer management shape tick abundance and Lyme disease hazard
Woodland expansion may eventually, once the trees mature, increase the risk of ticks and Lyme disease. However, controlling deer populations could be a solution to mitigate this issue. Abstract The largest land use change in Europe is woodland expansion, through planting and natural regeneration. Unforeseen consequences of this could include changes in

Prevalence of Borrelia burgdorferi Sensu Lato in Ticks from Eastern China [PDF]
To explore the tick distribution and prevalence of Borrelia in Zhejiang Province, we performed a survey in nine sites. A total of 447 adult ticks of 11 species were captured and the dominant tick species were Haemaphysalis longicornis and Ixodes sinensis and the abundance of tick species in different areas varied significantly.
