Genomic signatures of hybridization between Ixodes ricinus and Ixodes persulcatus in natural populations [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Identifying hybridization between common pathogen vectors is essential due to the major public health implications through risks associated with hybrid's enhanced pathogen transmission potential.

Spiroplasma Isolated From Third-Generation Laboratory Colony Ixodes persulcatus Ticks [PDF]

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021
Spiroplasma are vertically-transmitted endosymbionts of ticks and other arthropods. Field-collected Ixodes persulcatus have been reported to harbour Spiroplasma, but nothing is known about their persistence during laboratory colonisation of this tick ...

Predicting habitat suitability for Ixodes ricinus and Ixodes persulcatus ticks in Finland [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2022
Background Ticks are responsible for transmitting several notable pathogens worldwide. Finland lies in a zone where two human-biting tick species co-occur: Ixodes ricinus and Ixodes persulcatus.

Seasonal Activity of Adult Ticks Ixodes persulcatus (Acari, Ixodidae) in the North-West of the Distribution Area [PDF]

Animals, 2023
The taiga tick Ixodes persulcatus (Schulze, 1930) (Acari, Ixodidae) is the main vector of the tick-borne encephalitis virus and one of the most widespread species of ixodid ticks in the Palaearctic.

Metatranscriptomics Reveals the RNA Virome of Ixodes Persulcatus in the China–North Korea Border, 2017 [PDF]

Viruses, 2023
In recent years, numerous viruses have been identified from ticks, and some have been linked to clinical cases of emerging tick-borne diseases. Chinese northeast frontier is tick infested. However, there is a notable lack of systematic monitoring efforts

Differentiation of Laboratory-Obtained Ixodes ricinus × Ixodes persulcatus Hybrid Ticks: Selection of Suitable Genes. [PDF]

Microorganisms, 2022
Ixodes ricinus and Ixodes persulcatus ticks are the main vectors of tick-borne encephalitis virus and some bacterial pathogens. The regions where these tick species live overlap, forming large sympatric areas. It has previously been shown that these tick species have no morphological barrier, and interspecies crossing is possible with the appearance of

Characterization of Tick-Borne Encephalitis Virus Isolates from Ixodes persulcatus Ticks Collected During 2020 in Selenge, Mongolia [PDF]

Pathogens
Tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) causes neurological disease in humans, with varied clinical severity influenced by the viral subtype. TBEV is endemic to Mongolia, where both Siberian and Far-Eastern subtypes are present.

First evidence of established populations of the taiga tick Ixodes persulcatus (Acari: Ixodidae) in Sweden. [PDF]

Parasit Vectors, 2016
Background: The tick species Ixodes ricinus and I. persulcatus are of exceptional medical importance in the western and eastern parts, respectively, of the Palaearctic region. In Russia and Finland the range of I. persulcatus has recently increased.
