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.

Absence of Francisella tularensis in Finnish Ixodes ricinus and Ixodes persulcatus ticks
Francisella tularensis subsp. holarctica is the causative agent of tularaemia in Europe. Finland is a high-incidence region for tularaemia, with mosquito bites as the most common sources of infection. However, in Central and Western Europe, ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) have been suggested as the main vectors.

Studying the Circulation of Etiological Agent of Lyme Borreliosis in Stavropol Region
Using polymerase chain reaction with reverse transcription (RT-PCR) rRNA tick-borne borreliosis (Lyme borreliosis) etiological agent was detected in suspensions of ticks Ixodes ricinus. Infection rate was 7.1 %.

The biology of Ixodes ricinus with emphasis on its ecology
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.
