Spermatogenesis in Ixodes ricinus Linn [PDF]
It has long been known that ticks possess spermatozoa that differ considerably from the typical flagellate form. In similar cases science has always attempted to trace the aberrant type back to the normal with a view to identifying its constituent parts.

Pathogens transmitted by Ixodes ricinus
Ixodes ricinus is the most important tick vector in central and western Europe and one of the most researched parasites. However, in the published literature on the tick and the pathogens it transmits, conjecture about specific transmission cycles and ...

Ixodes ricinus ticks survive flooding
Climate-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

Winter activity of Ixodes ricinus in Sweden. [PDF]
Abstract Background In Europe, Ixodes ricinus (Acari: Ixodidae) is the most widespread and abundant tick species, acting as a vector for several microorganisms of medical and veterinary importance. In Northern and Central Europe, the tick has a bimodal activity pattern consisting of a peak in spring to the beginning of ...

AN UPDATE ON THE IXODES RICINUS MICROBIOME [PDF]
Ixodes ricinus is vector in the transmission of many important infectious diseases in human and animals. There is still minimal information available on the bacterial agents associated with ticks found in Slovakia. We performed a survey of the bacterial communities associated with Ixodes ricinus collected from forest area near a great city aglomeration.

Exotic Rickettsiae in Ixodes ricinus: fact or artifact? [PDF]
Abstract Several pathogenic Rickettsia species can be transmitted via Ixodes ricinus ticks to humans and animals. Surveys of I. ricinus for the presence of Rickettsiae using part of its 16S rRNA gene yield a plethora of new and different Rickettsia sequences.

Natural Transmission of Zoonotic Babesia spp. by Ixodes ricinus Ticks
To determine characteristics of natural transmission of Babesia sp. EU1 and B. divergens by adult Ixodes ricinus ticks, we examined tick salivary gland contents. We found that I.
