Spatial Distribution and Pathogen Profile of <i>Dermacentor reticulatus</i> Ticks in Southeastern Poland: A Genetic and Environmental Analysis. [PDF]
Transbound Emerg DisIn recent years, significant changes have been observed in the distribution and abundance of local Dermacentor reticulatus populations. However, changes in D. reticulatus dynamics have not been studied in southeastern Poland. Our objective was to enhance our understanding of the environmental factors influencing the occurrence and density of D ...

Dermacentor reticulatus is a vector of tick-borne encephalitis virus
Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2020 Tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV; family Flaviviridae) is the most medically important tick-borne virus in Europe and Asia. Ixodes ricinus and I. persulcatus ticks are considered to be the main vector ticks of TBEV in nature due to their specific ecological associations with the vertebrate hosts. Nevertheless, recent TBEV prevalence studies in ticks

Detection of Anaplasma phagocytophilum in Dermacentor reticulatus ticks [PDF]
Veterinary Record, 2011 IN Europe, cases of Lyme borreliosis, tickborne encephalitis and granulocytic anaplasmosis have increased in human beings, domestic animals and wildlife, expanding their geographical ranges to much of Scandinavia and eastern Europe. Proposed explanations include improved surveillance and diagnosis,

Geographical distribution of Dermacentor marginatus and Dermacentor reticulatus in Europe
Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2015 The goal of this paper is to present up-to-date maps depicting the geographical distribution of Dermacentor species in Europe based on georeferenced sampling sites. Therefore, a dataset was compiled, resulting in 1286 D. marginatus (Sulzer, 1776) and 1209 D. reticulatus (Fabricius, 1794) locations.

Optimization of an artificial tick feeding assay for Dermacentor reticulatus [PDF]
Parasites & Vectors, 2017 The development of standardized in vitro feeding methods for ixodid ticks has been hampered by their complex feeding behaviour and the long duration of their blood meal. In this study, we aimed to optimize several parameters for the in vitro feeding of adult Dermacentor reticulatus.Ticks were fed on heparinized bovine blood collected at a ...

Occurrence and Abundance of Dermacentor reticulatus in the Habitats of the Ecological Corridor of the Wieprz River, Eastern Poland [PDF]
Insects, 2021 Ecological corridors are zones of natural vegetation, which connect with other vegetation strips to create migration routes for animals and plants. The aim of our study was to investigate the occurrence and relative abundance of Dermacentor reticulatus ...

Host feeding behaviour of Dermacentor reticulatus males in relation to the transmission of pathogens [PDF]
Annals of Agricultural and Environmental Medicine, 2019 The three-host Dermacentor reticulatus tick transmits many pathogens, which are introduced into the host with saliva during feeding.The aim of present study was to analyse the behaviour of males of this species on the host in homogeneous sex groups comprising 15 (group I) and 30 (group II) male specimens and in a mixed group composed of 15 males and 15
