Risk Factors for Tick-Borne Diseases in Germany: A Scoping Review. [PDF]
Zoonoses Public HealthABSTRACT Tick‐borne diseases (TBDs) have proliferated in Germany. The two most prevalent TBDs, Lyme‐borreliosis and tick‐borne encephalitis, can present with nonspecific symptoms and lead to serious neurological complications. To date, a review synthesising the risk factors of acquiring a TBD in Germany is missing.

Citizen Science Tick Observations Serve as an Early Warning System for Tick-Borne Diseases. [PDF]
Zoonoses Public HealthABSTRACT Introduction Tick observation data collected through citizen science is increasingly utilised to map tick‐borne infection risk areas indirectly, that is, based on the rate of tick encounters or occurrence of ticks. However, direct associations between tick observations and Lyme borreliosis (LB) cases have received little attention.
