Harnessing 50 years of tick population genetics: Choosing the right molecular tool for contemporary research

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 94, Issue 11, Page 2159-2177, November 2025.
Population genetics reveals how ticks interact with hosts, microbiomes and environments. This review guides researchers in choosing the best tool for the job, weighing cost, resolution, reproducibility and throughput to study tick population structure. Abstract Ticks are ectoparasites of major medical, veterinary and ecological importance, transmitting

Surveillance of Tick‐Borne Encephalitis Virus—Comparison of Vaccination‐ and Infection‐Induced Seroprevalences in Lower Bavaria, Germany

Journal of Medical Virology, Volume 97, Issue 8, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Tick‐borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) is an emerging flavivirus in Europe and Asia, causing severe neurological disease in humans. Recent advances in serological diagnostics, in particular the detection of antibodies against the nonstructural protein 1 (NS1), enable epidemiological research by differentiation of vaccine‐ and infection‐induced ...

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,

Host‐Specificity and Network Structure of Tick Microbiota in Co‐Distributed Species From the Iberian Peninsula

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.
We investigate the community composition and structure of microbiota across natural populations of three co‐distributed tick species in the central Iberian Peninsula. Our results revealed a complex and diverse microbiota, while all tick species exhibited a shared core microbiota.

Выявление различных видов риккетсий у иксодовых клещей, в крови людей и мелких млекопитающих на юге Западной Сибири и на Урале

Бюллетень сибирской медицины, 2006
We investigated ticks, human blood samples, specimens of tissue and blood from small mammals using nested PCR. We de- tected high prevalence Rickettsia tarasevichiae and Rickettsia sp.

Towards tick virome and emerging tick‐borne viruses: Protocols, challenges and perspectives

iMetaOmics, Volume 2, Issue 2, June 2025.
Emerging tick‐borne viruses are considered a significant public health threat. The understanding of the tick virome has been revolutionized by high‐throughput meta‐transcriptomic sequencing, and numerous novel pathogens have been unveiled. However, effective data integration and comparative analyses have been hindered by inconsistent research protocols.

Microbial population analysis of the salivary glands of ticks; a possible strategy for the surveillance of bacterial pathogens. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Ticks are one of the most important blood-sucking vectors for infectious microorganisms in humans and animals. When feeding they inject saliva, containing microbes, into the host to facilitate the uptake of blood.

Phylogeographical structure of the tick Ixodes persulcatus: A novel view

Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2012
The tick Ixodes persulcatus Schulze, 1930, has a wide distribution from the Baltic to the Far East and is a vector of a number of human pathogens. Thus, the study of the genetic structure and evolution of this species is of great epidemiological importance. rRNA genes were used as genetic markers to identify the phylogeographical structure of the ticks.
