Exotic Rickettsiae in Ixodes ricinus: fact or artifact? [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2010
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.

Vaccination against Bm86 Homologues in Rabbits Does Not Impair Ixodes ricinus Feeding or Oviposition. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Human tick-borne diseases that are transmitted by Ixodes ricinus, such as Lyme borreliosis and tick borne encephalitis, are on the rise in Europe. Diminishing I. ricinus populations in nature can reduce tick exposure to humans, and one way to do so is by

Uptake and fecal excretion of Coxiella burnetii by Ixodes ricinus and Dermacentor marginatus ticks [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2020
The bacterium Coxiella burnetii is the etiological agent of Q fever and is mainly transmitted via inhalation of infectious aerosols. DNA of C. burnetii is frequently detected in ticks, but the role of ticks as vectors in the epidemiology of this agent is

Ixodes ricinus ticks survive flooding

Ticks and Tick-Borne Diseases
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

Temporal pattern of questing tick Ixodes ricinus density at differing elevations in the coastal region of western Norway [PDF]

, 2014
Background: Climate change can affect the activity and distribution of species, including pathogens and parasites. The densities and distribution range of the sheep tick (Ixodes ricinus) and it’s transmitted pathogens appears to be increasing.

The biology of Ixodes ricinus with emphasis on its ecology.

Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2022
Prior to its identification as the vector of Lyme borreliosis spirochaetes in Europe in 1983, interest in Ixodes ricinus (L.) was moderate and mainly concerned the transmission of pathogens to farm animals and of tick-borne encephalitis virus to humans. The situation now is very different, and more papers have been published on I.

Habitat properties are key drivers of Borrelia burgdorferi (s.l.) prevalence in Ixodes ricinus populations of deciduous forest fragments [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2018
The tick Ixodes ricinus has considerable impact on the health of humans and other terrestrial animals because it transmits several tick-borne pathogens (TBPs) such as B. burgdorferi (sensulato), which causes Lyme borreliosis (LB). Small forest patches of

Revealing the Tick Microbiome: Insights into Midgut and Salivary Gland Microbiota of Female Ixodes ricinus Ticks

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2023
The ectoparasite Ixodes ricinus is an important vector for many tick-borne diseases (TBD) in the northern hemisphere, such as Lyme borreliosis, rickettsiosis, human granulocytic anaplasmosis, or tick-borne encephalitis virus.

Genome Sequence of Alongshan Virus from Ixodes ricinus Ticks Collected in Switzerland

Microbiology Resource Announcements, 2023
Here, we report the detection of an Alongshan virus (ALSV) strain in Switzerland. Next-generation sequencing of homogenates from Ixodes ricinus ticks collected in Canton Grisons, Switzerland, in 2022 yielded a coding-complete ALSV genome.

Questing Ixodes ricinus ticks and Borrelia spp. in urban green space across Europe: A review

Zoonoses and Public Health, 2022
For more than three decades, it has been recognized that Ixodes ricinus ticks occur in urban green space in Europe and that they harbour multiple pathogens linked to both human and animal diseases. Urban green space use for health and well‐being, climate
