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 ...

Behavioral Repertoire on a Vertical Rod-An Ethogram in Dermacentor reticulatus Ticks. [PDF]
Life (Basel), 2022 Ticks are important vectors of pathogens that endanger humans and animals. Study of their behavior under laboratory conditions is important for both predicting their behavior in natural conditions and understanding their involvement in transmission cycles of pathogens, which may lead to effective prevention of tick-borne disease transmission or ...

Dermacentor reticulatus: a vector on the rise. [PDF]
Parasit Vectors, 2016 Dermacentor reticulatus is a hard tick species with extraordinary biological features. It has a high reproduction rate, a rapid developmental cycle, and is also able to overcome years of unfavourable conditions. Dermacentor reticulatus can survive under water for several months and is cold-hardy even compared to other tick species.

Climate and the seasonal abundance of the tick Dermacentor reticulatus [PDF]
Medical and Veterinary Entomology, 2021 AbstractDermacentor reticulatus (Ixodida: Ixodidae, Fabricius 1794) is one of the most widely distributed and abundant tick species in central Europe and is a vector for a range of pathogens. Nevertheless, many aspects of its ecology and distribution remain poorly understood. To quantify the seasonal abundance of this species in the U.K.

Density of Dermacentor reticulatus Ticks in Eastern Poland. [PDF]
Int J Environ Res Public Health, 2020 Dermacentor reticulatus, the ornate cow tick, is second only to Ixodes ricinus as the most important reservoir and vector of infectious diseases in Europe. In recent years, the distribution of D. reticulatus ticks has expanded into new territories, including increased population densities in areas of their previous occurrence. Our investigations around

Monitoring Dermacentor reticulatus Host-Seeking Activity in Natural Conditions. [PDF]
Insects, 2020 Ticks are hematophagous ectoparasites of humans and animals. These arthropods employ different strategies in their host-seeking activity; most often, it is the “nest”- and “pasture-questing” behaviour. Some species, e.g., Dermacentor reticulatus, exhibit both types of activity depending on their developmental stage.
