Ticks are more suitable than red foxes for monitoring zoonotic tick-borne pathogens in northeastern Italy

Parasites & Vectors, 2018
Background Northeastern Italy is a hotspot for several tick-borne pathogens, transmitted to animals and humans mainly by Ixodes ricinus. Here we compare the results of molecular monitoring of ticks and zoonotic TBPs over a six-year period, with the ...
