Tissue-specific signatures in the transcriptional response to Anaplasma phagocytophilum infection of Ixodes scapularis and Ixodes ricinus tick cell lines

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2016
Anaplasma phagocytophilum are transmitted by Ixodes spp. ticks and have become one of the most common and relevant tick-borne pathogens due to their impact on human and animal health.

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.

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 ...

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.

Ixodes ricinus Density, and Distribution and Prevalence of Borrelia burgdorferi Sensu Lato Infection Along an Altitudinal Gradient [PDF]

, 2017
In this study, we measured the phenology of Ixodes ricinus ticks and their infection with Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (sl) simultaneously along an altitudinal gradient to assess the impact of climate on the phenology of ticks and on their infection ...

Prevalence of Neoehrlichia mikurensis in ticks and rodents from North-west Europe

Parasites & Vectors, 2012
Background Neoehrlichia mikurensis s an emerging and vector-borne zoonosis: The first human disease cases were reported in 2010. Limited information is available about the prevalence and distribution of Neoehrlichia mikurensis in Europe, its natural life

Impact of vertebrate communities on Ixodes ricinus-borne disease risk in forest areas

Parasites & Vectors, 2019
The density of questing ticks infected with tick-borne pathogens is an important parameter that determines tick-borne disease risk. An important factor determining this density is the availability of different wildlife species as hosts for ticks and ...

Current Distribution of Selected Vector‐borne Diseases in Domestic Dogs From Bucharest, Romania

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 4, July 2025.
Serological testing of 317 dogs in Bucharest (2020‐2024) revealed an overall Canine vector‐borne diseases (CVBD) seroprevalence of 8.8%, with Dirofilaria immitis (12.62%) being the most common. Shelter and older dogs had higher infection rates. Climate change and vector expansion may influence pathogen spread, underscoring the need for enhanced ...
