The Historical Baseline of Hard Tick Records in Spain (1985–2024)
PathogensTicks are important vectors of pathogens, producing diseases in animals and humans. The planning of information campaigns or prevention programs is heavily based on the knowledge of highly detailed data on tick distribution. This study reports unpublished data on the distribution of more than 30,000 tick specimens, collected by active surveys in the ...

Protocol for encapsulating ticks to study tick hematophagy and tick-virus-host interactions
STAR ProtocolsSummary: Hard ticks can acquire and transmit various pathogens during their multi-day blood feeding events. Here, we present a protocol for encapsulating ticks while they feed on mice. We describe steps for affixing tick capsules to mice, counting ticks,
