Search for blood or water is influenced by Borrelia burgdorferi in Ixodes ricinus
Parasites & Vectors, 2015 An increasing number of studies suggest that vector-borne parasites are able to alter phenotypic traits in their arthropod vectors so that microorganism transmission is enhanced.

Whole Genome Sequencing Reveals Clade‐Specific Genetic Variation in Blacklegged Ticks
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 2, February 2025.In this study, we performed whole genome nanopore sequencing of individual blacklegged ticks across their geographical range to evaluate genetic divergence among populations. Our integrated analyses identified genetic variants associated with numerous biological processes and molecular functions that segregated across populations.

Epizootiological Study of the Occurrence of Canine Babesiosisin Southwestern Slovakia
Folia Veterinaria, 2016 This epizootiological study was carried out to investigate the occurrence of canine babesiosis in southwestern Slovakia. The study focused on the proportion of the species of ticks serving as babesia vectors of babesiosis in the ticks collected from ...

A three-years assessment of Ixodes ricinus-borne pathogens in a French peri-urban forest
Parasites & Vectors, 2019 Ixodes ricinus is the predominant tick species in Europe and the primary pathogen vector for both humans and animals. These ticks are frequently involved in the transmission of Borrelia burgdorferi (sensu lato), the causative agents of Lyme borreliosis ...

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2025.Abstract Large‐bodied wild ungulates are declining worldwide, while domestic livestock continue to increase in abundance. Such changes in large herbivore communities should have strong effects on the control of ticks and tick‐borne disease as they can indirectly modify habitat and directly serve as final hosts for ticks' lifecycles.

Ixodes ricinus tick lipocalins: identification, cloning, phylogenetic analysis and biochemical characterization. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 BACKGROUND: During their blood meal, ticks secrete a wide variety of proteins that interfere with their host's defense mechanisms. Among these proteins, lipocalins play a major role in the modulation of the inflammatory response.

Predicting Novel Tick Vectors of Zoonotic Disease [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 With the resurgence of tick-borne diseases such as Lyme disease and the emergence of new pathogens such as Powassan virus, understanding what distinguishes vector from non-vector species, and predicting undiscovered tick vectors is an important step towards mitigating human disease risk.

Parasites & Vectors, 2018 BackgroundAlmost 3500 tick samples, originally collected via a nationwide citizen science campaign in 2015, were screened to reveal the prevalence and distribution of a wide spectrum of established and putative tick-borne pathogens vectored by Ixodes ...

Woodland expansion and deer management shape tick abundance and Lyme disease hazard
Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 6, Issue 1, January–March 2025.Woodland expansion may eventually, once the trees mature, increase the risk of ticks and Lyme disease. However, controlling deer populations could be a solution to mitigate this issue. Abstract The largest land use change in Europe is woodland expansion, through planting and natural regeneration. Unforeseen consequences of this could include changes in

Ticks, Deer, Mice, and a Touch of Sensitivity: A Recipe for Controlling Lyme Disease [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto is a bacterial spirochete prevalent in the Northeastern United States that causes Lyme disease. Lyme disease is the most common arthropod-borne disease in the United States; affecting mice, deer, humans and other mammals.
