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 ...

Role of Ixodes Pavlovskyi (Acari, Ixodidae) in Borreliosis Epizootic Process at the Island Russky

Проблемы особо опасных инфекций, 2021
The incidence of Ixodes tick-borne borreliosis (ITBB) at the Island Russky (Primorsk Territory) is higher than at the mainland. There is a bidominant structure of the tick population with mass occurrence of Ixodes persulcatus and I.

Pathogens in Ixodes persulcatus and Ixodes ricinus ticks (Acari, Ixodidae) in Karelia (Russia)

Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2022
Ixodid ticks (Acarina, Ixodidae) are vectors of dangerous human infections. The main tick species that determine the epidemiological situation for tick-borne diseases in northern Europe are Ixodes ricinus and Ixodes persulcatus. In recent years, significant changes in the number and distribution of these species have been observed, accompanied by an ...

Citizen Science Tick Observations Serve as an Early Warning System for Tick-Borne Diseases. [PDF]

Zoonoses Public Health
ABSTRACT Introduction Tick observation data collected through citizen science is increasingly utilised to map tick‐borne infection risk areas indirectly, that is, based on the rate of tick encounters or occurrence of ticks. However, direct associations between tick observations and Lyme borreliosis (LB) cases have received little attention.
