Zoonotic Tick-Borne Pathogens in Ixodes ricinus Complex (Acari: Ixodidae) From Urban and Peri-Urban Areas of Kosovo. [PDF]
Zoonoses Public HealthABSTRACT Introduction Ixodes ricinus, the castor bean tick, is the most prevalent tick species in Europe. It favours habitats such as shrubs, deciduous and mixed forests, but can also be found in urban environments. Due to its high vector competence, it is of enormous veterinary as well as medical importance, transmitting tick‐borne encephalitis (TBE ...

Morphological responses to feeding in ticks (Ixodes ricinus) [PDF]
Zoological Letters, 2018 Ticks can survive long periods without feeding but, when feeding, ingest large quantities of blood, resulting in a more than 100-fold increase of body volume.

Entomopathogenic Fungi in Forest Habitats of Ixodes ricinus. [PDF]
Insects(1) Background: In addition to the microclimate, host availability, and tick microbiota, soil environmental microorganisms can affect tick populations. This study aimed to (1) determine the presence and diversity of entomopathogenic fungi (EF) in forests, where ticks are abundant, and (2) estimate the effectiveness of the isolated EF strains against ...

Spatiotemporal dynamics of emerging pathogens in questing Ixodes ricinus [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2013 Ixodes ricinus transmits Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, the etiological agent of Lyme disease. Previous studies have also detected Rickettsia helvetica, Anaplasma phagocytophilum, Neoehrlichia mikurensis, and several Babesia species in questing ticks in The Netherlands.

Insight into the sialome of the castor bean tick, Ixodes ricinus [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2008 In recent years, there have been several sialome projects revealing transcripts expressed in the salivary glands of ticks, which are important vectors of several human diseases. Here, we focused on the sialome of the European vector of Lyme disease, Ixodes ricinus.In the attempt to describe expressed genes and their dynamics throughout the feeding ...

Ixodes ricinus ticks survive flooding
Ticks and Tick-Borne DiseasesClimate-change induced weather extremes like floods are increasing in frequency and intensity, with potential consequences for disease vector ecology. We report on a flooding event during the winter of 2023/2024 in Hanover city, Germany. Our observations
