Food 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.

Zoonoses 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 ...

A mutagenic PCR identifies isolates of Borrelia garinii responsible for Lyme borreliosis [PDF]
, 2017 Borrelia garinii is one of the three major Borreliae responsible for Lyme borreliosis in Europe. We have characterized a protein of B. garinii (VS102) and a genomic fragment from the gene encoding this protein was cloned. The DNA sequence of the fragment

Woodland expansion and deer management shape tick abundance and Lyme disease hazard
Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 6, Issue 1, January–March 2025.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
