Preliminary Observations on Ultrastructure of Borreliae in Tissues of Ixodes persulcatus [PDF]

Microbiology and Immunology, 1993
AbstractWe observed Lyme borrelia by electron microscopy in the tissues of the ticks, Ixodes persulcatus, which were indicated positive for borreliae by BSK cultures of their internal organs. Borreliae (0.25 μm in diameter) were found only in the lumen of the midgut.

Vectors and Vector‐Borne Diseases: Biology, Epidemiology and Integrated Control Strategies

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vector‐Borne Diseases (VBDs), transmitted by arthropods such as mosquitoes, ticks, fleas and sandflies, represent a significant threat to global health. These diseases can be caused by a variety of pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and helminths.

Unusual MRI features in a case of presumed canine tick‐borne meningoencephalomyelitis

Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 3, August 2026.
Abstract A 7‐year‐old, standard, wire‐haired dachshund presented with quickly progressive multifocal central nervous system signs, which localised to the brainstem and cervical myelopathy, including reduced cervical and thoracic limb muscle tone and withdrawal reflexes. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed bilateral, approximately symmetric, T2‐weighted

Comparative Metagenomic Profiling of Symbiotic Bacterial Communities Associated with Ixodes persulcatus, Ixodes pavlovskyi and Dermacentor reticulatus Ticks. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Ixodes persulcatus, Ixodes pavlovskyi, and Dermacentor reticulatus ticks inhabiting Western Siberia are responsible for the transmission of a number of etiological agents that cause human and animal tick-borne diseases.

Citizen Science Tick Observations Serve as an Early Warning System for Tick‐Borne Diseases

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 73, Issue 3, Page 234-243, May 2026.
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.

Role of three tick species in the maintenance and transmission of Severe Fever with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome Virus.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2020
Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV) is a novel phlebovirus in the Bunyaviridae family, causing SFTS with high mortality rate. Haemaphysalis longicornis ticks has been demonstrated as a competent vector of SFTSV by experimental ...

Langat Virus Biology and Infection

Reviews in Medical Virology, Volume 36, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Flaviviruses pose a major threat to global health and can cause severe disease in animals and humans. Among them, tick‐borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) and related members of the tick‐borne encephalitis (TBE) serocomplex are transmitted primarily by ticks and can lead to neurological disease, including encephalitis and death. Despite many years

Genetic diversity of Salp15 in the Ixodes ricinus complex (Acari: Ixodidae).

PLoS ONE, 2014
Salp15, a 15-kDa tick salivary gland protein, is both essential for ticks to successfully obtain host blood and also facilitates transmission of Lyme borreliosis. To determine whether the Salp15 gene is expressed in Ixodes persulcatus and Ixodes sinensis,
