Survival of Ixodes ricinus (Acari: Ixodidae) Under Challenging Conditions of Temperature and Humidity Is Influenced by Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato Infection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
To determine whether Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (s.l.) influences tick survival under thermohygrometric stress, Ixodes ricinus (L.) (Acari: Ixodidae) questing ticks were tested under various relative humidities (13, 32, 51.5, 61, and 89% RH) at two ...

Molecular Profiling of Ticks and Associated Pathogens: First Report of Rickettsia sibirica, Rickettsia slovaca, and Babesia microti in Ticks From Pakistan

open access: yesTransboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Global distribution of ticks and their associated tick‐borne pathogens (TBPs) presents substantial health concerns for both humans and animals. The present study aimed to investigate the distribution, morpho‐molecular identification, and associated TBPs of diverse tick species collected from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Punjab provinces of Pakistan ...

Natural hybridization between Ixodes ricinus and Ixodes persulcatus ticks evidenced by molecular genetics methods

open access: yesTicks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2016
The recently shown phenomenon of natural hybridization between Ixodes persulcatus and Ixodes pavlovskyi ticks (Kovalev et al., 2015) stimulated similar studies in the sympatric zones of other tick species. In the present paper, 265 Ixodes ricinus and I. persulcatus ticks from Estonia were subjected to a search for interspecific hybrids based on nuclear

Identification and Phylodynamic Analysis of the Siberian Subtype of Tick‐Borne Encephalitis Virus in Tick‐Bitten Patients From Northeastern China

open access: yesTransboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Far Eastern (FE) tick‐borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) was thought to be the only endemic subtype in northeastern China. However, in 2024, the Siberian (Sib) subtype of TBEV was found in ticks. This study investigates Sib‐TBEV infection in tick‐bitten patients in the region.

The study of anaplasma and ehrlichia genetic variability in parasitic systems in the South-Western Siberia and Ural

open access: yesБюллетень сибирской медицины, 2006
Ehrlichia muris and Anaplasma phagocytophilum DNA were detected using nested PCR among Ixodes persulcatus collected in Novosibirsk, Sverdlovsk and Chelyabinsk regions and in blood samples of small mammals from Novosibirsk and Sverdlovsk re- gions.

Proteases of haematophagous arthropod vectors are involved in blood-feeding, yolk formation and immunity : a review [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Ticks, triatomines, mosquitoes and sand flies comprise a large number of haematophagous arthropods considered vectors of human infectious diseases. While consuming blood to obtain the nutrients necessary to carry on life functions, these insects can ...

Anaplasma phagocytophilum–infected Ticks, Japan

open access: yesEmerging Infectious Diseases, 2005
We report Anaplasma phagocytophilum infection of Ixodes persulcatus and I. ovatus ticks in Japan. Unique p44/msp2 paralogs (and/or 16S rRNA genes) were detected in tick tissues, salivary glands, and spleens of experimentally infected mice. These findings

Do the level of energy reserves, hydration status and Borrelia infection influence walking by Ixodes ricinus (Acari: Ixodidae) ticks? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Ixodes ricinus horizontal movement within a humidity gradient and the influence of infection by Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (s.l.) on tick walking were investigated. Nymphs were placed within an arena containing a humidity gradient ranging from 45 to
