Babesia species in questing Ixodes ricinus, Sweden
Babesiosis is an emerging tick-transmitted zoonosis in large parts of the world. In Sweden, the occurrence and diversity of Babesia species is largely unknown. In order to estimate the exposure to Babesia from infected ticks, we collected questing Ixodes ricinus from several sites across southern Sweden during two consecutive field seasons and ...

Phosphoglucomutase polymorphism in the tick Ixodes ricinus
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

Forecasting next season’s Ixodes ricinus nymphal density: the example of southern Germany 2018
The castor bean tick, Ixodes ricinus (L.) (Ixodida: Ixodidae), is the principal vector of pathogens causing tick-borne encephalitis or Lyme borreliosis in Europe. It is therefore of general interest to make an estimate of the density of I.

The scutum of the tick, Ixodes ricinus L.
It is a common observation that in individual Ixodes ricinus L. ticks, size variations occur; such variation is reflected in the records of early workers (Wheler, 1899; Neumann, 1899: quoted by Nuttall, Warburton, Cooper & Robinson, 1911). The present paper attempts to examine the true specific importance of size variation by basing the study on ...
