Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2004 A total of 278 Ixodes ticks, collected from Madeira Island and Setúbal District, mainland Portugal, were examined by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for the presence of Anaplasma phagocytophilum. Six (4%) of 142 Ixodes ricinus nymphs collected in Madeira

Spermatogenesis in Ixodes ricinus Linn [PDF]
Parasitology, 1920 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.

Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The incidence of Tick‐borne encephalitis (TBE) cases has increased. The presumed location of transmission of Tick‐borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) has been expanding increasingly in the western parts of Europe during the past decade. There has also been an increased incidence of surveillance‐reported TBE cases in southern Sweden and southern ...

Arsenophonus nasoniae and Rickettsiae Infection of Ixodes ricinus Due to Parasitic Wasp Ixodiphagus hookeri. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Arsenophonus nasoniae, a male-killing endosymbiont of chalcid wasps, was recently detected in several hard tick species. Following the hypothesis that its presence in ticks may not be linked to the direct occurrence of bacteria in tick's organs, we ...

Development Features of Ixodes ricinus × I. persulcatus Hybrids under Laboratory Conditions
Microorganisms, 2023 Widely distributed Ixodes ricinus and Ixodes persulcatus ticks transmit many pathogens of both medical and veterinary significance. The ranges of these tick species overlap and form large sympatric areas in the East European Plain and Baltic countries ...

Anaphylactic transfusion reaction to group B platelets related to alpha‐gal syndrome: A case report
Transfusion, EarlyView.Abstract Background Alpha‐gal syndrome (AGS), a distinct form of IgE‐mediated hypersensitivity to the carbohydrate galactose‐α‐1,3‐galactose (α‐Gal), typically occurs after repeated tick bites and leads to allergic reactions after ingestion of mammalian meat.

Experimental Infection of Mice and Ticks with the Human Isolate of Anaplasma phagocytophilum NY-18
Pathogens, 2022 Anaplasma phagocytophilum is the causative agent of tick-borne fever (TBF) and human granulocytic anaplasmosis (HGA) and is currently considered an emerging disease in the USA, Europe, and Asia. The increased prevalence of A.

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1779-1792, August 2026.ABSTRACT Tick‐borne filarial nematodes are a complex and understudied group of parasites that rely on ticks for transmission in vertebrates. This review examines how intrinsic and extrinsic factors may influence the successful transmission of filarial nematodes in tick vectors, drawing insights from extensively studied haematophagous dipteran vector ...

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. We study morphological adaptations to changes in opisthosoma volume during feeding in the castor bean tick, Ixodes ricinus.
