Complete mitochondrial genome and phylogenetic analysis of Ixodes persulcatus (taiga tick) [PDF]

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2017
Ixodes persulcatus is a species of hard tick which is a predominant tick species that spreads a wide array of serious human and animal pathogens. Here, we first assemble the complete mitogenome of I. persulcatus of China.

The First Study of Borrelia burgdorferi Sensu Lato Persistence in Small Mammals Captured in the Ixodes persulcatus Distribution Area in Western Siberia [PDF]

Pathogens
Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (s.l.) persistence in reservoir hosts is essential for the maintenance of the spirochaetes in the enzootic cycle. In this study, we investigated the persistence of Siberian B. burgdorferi s.l. strains in naturally infected

On the core bacterial flora of Ixodes persulcatus (Taiga tick). [PDF]

PLoS One, 2017
Ixodes persulcatus is a predominant hard tick species that transmits a wide range of human and animal pathogens. Since bacterial flora of the tick dwelling in the wild always vary according to their hosts and the environment, it is highly desirable that species-associated microbiomes are fully determined by using next-generation sequencing and based on

Distribution and Genotypic Landscape of Tick-Borne Encephalitis Virus in Ticks from Latvia from 2019 to 2023 [PDF]

Pathogens
Ticks are important parasites of economic and public health because of their ability to transmit zoonotic diseases. Tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV), now officially Orthoflavivirus encephalitidis, is a Flavivirus with five main subtypes of which ...

Spectrum of Ixodidae Ticks Attacking Humans in Novosibirsk Province, Russian Siberia, and Their Association with Tick-Borne Bacterial Agents [PDF]

Pathogens
The spectrum of ixodid ticks that bite humans in Western Siberia has significantly changed over the past two decades. In this study, we determined tick species attacking people in the vicinity of Novosibirsk and the range of bacterial agents they were ...

Tick-borne encephalitis virus subtypes: mono- and mixed infection in specific and non-specific ticks [PDF]

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
Tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) is traditionally divided into three main subtypes – European (Eu), Siberian (Sib) and Far Eastern (FE), the distribution of which is confined to the areas of the main vectors, Ixodes ricinus (TBEV-Eu) and Ixodes ...

Detection and genetic characterization of a putative novel Borrelia genospecies in Ixodes apronophorus / Ixodes persulcatus / Ixodes trianguliceps sympatric areas in Western Siberia

Ticks and Tick-Borne Diseases, 2023
Four genospecies from the Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato complex were detected in Ixodes persulcatus and Ixodes pavlovskyi ticks from Siberia and genetically characterized. The presence of Borrelia spp.

Tick-Borne Viruses in Finland: Public Health Risks, Interventions and Research Insights. [PDF]

Vet Med Sci
ABSTRACT Ticks are obligate haematophagous arthropods that serve as vectors for diverse pathogens, including viruses, bacteria and protozoa. In Finland, the two primary tick species, Ixodes ricinus (castor bean tick) and Ixodes persulcatus (taiga tick), have been identified in the transmission of tick‐borne viruses (TBV), notably tick‐borne ...
