Ecology, Volume 106, Issue 1, January 2025.Abstract Many vector‐borne diseases are sensitive to changes in land use and climate; hence, it is important to understand the factors that govern the vector populations. Ixodid ticks, which serve as vectors for multiple diseases, have a slow life cycle compared with many of their hosts.

An Emerging Role for Ticks as Vectors of Tularaemia in Sweden
Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 1, January 2025.Tularaemia is a cause of growing concern, spreading to new areas in Sweden and infecting hares and humans. This study reveal that Francisella tularensis subsp. holarctica has been isolated from ticks in Sweden for the first time. The bacterium has been detected in ticks collected from both hare and cat.

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2017 Lyme borreliosis is the most common zoonotic disease transmitted by ticks in Europe and North America. Despite having multiple tick vectors, the causative agent, Borrelia burgdorferisensu lato, is vectored mainly by Ixodes ricinus in Europe.

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.European badgers are opportunistic animals that could serve as important hosts in the life cycle of hard ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) when entering peri‐urban and urban environments. In this study, ticks and spleen samples were collected from badgers (Meles meles) found as roadkill between 2020 and 2021 in peri‐urban habitats in Central Europe, Hungary ...

Larvae of the Ixodes ricinus complex of species
Parasitology, 1970 SUMMARYAn account is given of the morphological characteristics of larvae of four species of the Ixodes ricinus complex, namely I. ricinus, I. persulcatus, I. pacificus and I. nipponensis. Particular reference is made to chaetotaxy and its importance in differentiating larvae of closely related species is emphasized.We are grateful to Dr G.

Tick-borne pathogen detection in midgut and salivary glands of adult Ixodes ricinus
Parasites & Vectors, 2018 The tick midgut and salivary glands represent the primary organs for pathogen acquisition and transmission, respectively. Specifically, the midgut is the first organ to have contact with pathogens during the blood meal uptake, while salivary glands along

Seasonal infestation of birds with immature stages of Ixodes ricinus and Ixodes arboricola
Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2017 This study assessed the parasitization of cavity-nesting birds and ground-nesting/foraging birds with larvae and nymphs of two Ixodes species, Ixodes ricinus and Ixodes arboricola. Totals of 679 (52.3%) I. ricinus and 619 (47.7%) I. arboricola ticks were collected from 15 species of passerine birds which were caught during the nesting and non-nesting ...

The moulting arthropod: a complete genetic toolkit review
Biological Reviews, Volume 99, Issue 6, Page 2338-2375, December 2024.ABSTRACT Exoskeletons are a defining character of all arthropods that provide physical support for their segmented bodies and appendages as well as protection from the environment and predation. This ubiquitous yet evolutionarily variable feature has been instrumental in facilitating the adoption of a variety of lifestyles and the exploitation of ...
