Deep Sequencing Analysis of the Ixodes ricinus Haemocytome

PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2015
Ixodes ricinus is the main tick vector of the microbes that cause Lyme disease and tick-borne encephalitis in Europe. Pathogens transmitted by ticks have to overcome innate immunity barriers present in tick tissues, including midgut, salivary glands epithelia and the hemocoel.

Reservoir Role of Lizard Psammodromus algirus in Transmission Cycle of Borrelia burgdorferi Sensu Lato (Spirochaetaceae) in Tunisia [PDF]

, 2017
To investigate the reservoir role of the lizard Psammodromus algirus for the Lyme disease spirochete, 199 lizards were trapped from April to October 2003 in El Jouza, northwestern Tunisia. In this site, the infection rate of free-living Ixodes ricinus (L.

Italian peninsula as a hybridization zone of Ixodes inopinatus and I. ricinus and the prevalence of tick-borne pathogens in I. inopinatus, I. ricinus, and their hybrids

Parasites & Vectors
Background Ixodes inopinatus was described from Spain on the basis of morphology and partial sequencing of 16S ribosomal DNA. However, several studies suggested that morphological differences between I.

Limited occurrence of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato in the European hedgehog (Erinaceus europaeus) and Ixodes hexagonus in Great Britain

Ticks and Tick-Borne Diseases
Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (Bbsl) are multi-host bacteria and the causative agents of the zoonotic disease, Lyme borreliosis, for which Ixodes spp. are the vectors.

Molecular Identification of Bloodmeal Source in Ixodes ricinus Ticks Using 12S rDNA As a Genetic Marker [PDF]

, 2017
We developed an efficient molecular method for the identification of the bloodmeal sources in the tick Ixodes ricinus (L.), the European vector of the agents of Lyme borreliosis and tick-borne encephalitis.

Phosphoglucomutase polymorphism in the tick Ixodes ricinus

Parasitology, 1979
SUMMARYTen variants of phosphoglucomutase were detected by starch-gel electrophoresis in extracts of the tick Ixodes ricinus. Agreement of phenotype frequencies with those predicted by the Hardy–Weinberg model indicated that the enzyme is coded by a single gene locus (Pgm) at which 10 alleles are segregating. Allelic proportions in 5 Irish tick samples

Efficient Transmission of Borrelia burgdorferi Between Cofeeding Ixodes ricinus Ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) [PDF]

, 2017
Feeding ticks are generally spatially distributed in clusters on vertebrate hosts. To test the effect of clustering on transmission of a tick-borne pathogen, Borrelia burgdorferi Johnson, Schmid, Hyde, Steigerwalt & Brenner-infected Ixodes ricinus L ...

Improved welfare in sheep production.Preventive measures, disease resistance and robustness related to tick-borne fever in sheep [PDF]

The greatest welfare challenges for sheep during grazing are tick-borne fever (TBF), blow-flies, alveld and predators. Production losses on tick infested pastures are substantial, and it is expected that more than 300 000 lambs/sheep are affected by TBF.
