Opinion and report of the French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety (ANSES) on the assessment of the impact of fox population dynamics on public health

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.

Microsatellite-based genetic diversity of Dermacentor reticulatus in Europe

Infection, Genetics and Evolution, 2018
Dermacentor reticulatus, also known as ornate dog tick, is an important vector of the causative agents of various tick-borne diseases in humans, livestock and wild animals. The geographical range of D. reticulatus in Europe is fragmented and divided into two main zones: The Western European and the Eastern European zone. To investigate D.

Evidence for an increased distribution range of Dermacentor reticulatus in south-west Poland [PDF]

Experimental and Applied Acarology, 2012
The expansion of Dermacentor reticulatus to new geographical areas has been observed in several countries in Europe, including Poland and it's neighbors. In 2011 and 2012, a total of 148 host-seeking D. reticulatus ticks were collected after flagging the vegetation in Lower Silesia, south-western Poland.

The European Badger (Meles meles) as a Host for Ticks and Tick‐Borne Pathogens in Peri‐Urban Environments, Hungary

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
European badgers are opportunistic animals that could serve as important hosts in the life cycle of hard ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) when entering peri‐urban and urban environments. In this study, ticks and spleen samples were collected from badgers (Meles meles) found as roadkill between 2020 and 2021 in peri‐urban habitats in Central Europe, Hungary ...

Mapping of Dermacentor reticulatus expansion in Poland in 2012–2014

Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2016
Rapid expansion of the tick Dermacentor reticulatus (Fabricius) has been reported in many European countries. In Poland its range was limited to the area on the eastern side of the Vistula River up until the 1990s. However, new foci were recently discovered, while the centre of the country and mountain regions are believed to be free of this tick and ...

Ticks and Tick‐Borne Pathogens Encountered by Dogs and Cats: A North European Perspective

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Climate change is increasing the worldwide burden of tick‐borne diseases (TBDs). Dramatic increases in human cases of borreliosis have been reported during the past few decades, including from Finland, located in North Europe. As human exposure to ticks carrying pathogens is increasing, so likely is exposure of dogs and cats.
