Do the level of energy reserves, hydration status and Borrelia infection influence walking by Ixodes ricinus (Acari: Ixodidae) ticks? [PDF]
Ixodes ricinus horizontal movement within a humidity gradient and the influence of infection by Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (s.l.) on tick walking were investigated. Nymphs were placed within an arena containing a humidity gradient ranging from 45 to

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.

Importance of Common Wall Lizards in the Transmission Dynamics of Tick-Borne Pathogens in the Northern Apennine Mountains, Italy [PDF]
During the investigations on ticks and tick-borne pathogens (TBP) range expansion in the Northern Apennines, we captured 107 Podarcis muralis lizards. Sixty-eight animals were infested by immature Ixodes ricinus, Haemaphysalis sulcata and H.

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