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.

Current Distribution of Selected Vector‐borne Diseases in Domestic Dogs From Bucharest, Romania

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 4, July 2025.
Serological testing of 317 dogs in Bucharest (2020‐2024) revealed an overall Canine vector‐borne diseases (CVBD) seroprevalence of 8.8%, with Dirofilaria immitis (12.62%) being the most common. Shelter and older dogs had higher infection rates. Climate change and vector expansion may influence pathogen spread, underscoring the need for enhanced ...

Sympatric occurrence of Ixodes ricinus, Haemaphysalis concinna and Haemaphysalis inermis in a wild fauna reserve

Ticks and Tick-Borne Diseases
Wildlife reserves represent confined ecosystems with a high concentration of non-native animal species. The Réserve Zoologique de la Haute Touche, a unique forested environment, houses approximately 50 species, primarily Artiodactyla and Perissodactyla ...

Tissue-specific signatures in the transcriptional response to Anaplasma phagocytophilum infection of Ixodes scapularis and Ixodes ricinus tick cell lines

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2016
Anaplasma phagocytophilum are transmitted by Ixodes spp. ticks and have become one of the most common and relevant tick-borne pathogens due to their impact on human and animal health.

Ixodes ricinus tick lipocalins: identification, cloning, phylogenetic analysis and biochemical characterization. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2008
BACKGROUND: During their blood meal, ticks secrete a wide variety of proteins that interfere with their host's defense mechanisms. Among these proteins, lipocalins play a major role in the modulation of the inflammatory response.

Evaluating the Effectiveness of Forest‐to‐Bog Restoration on Carbon Sequestration, Water Chemistry, and Biodiversity in Irish and British Peatlands

WIREs Climate Change, Volume 16, Issue 4, July/August 2025.
A forest‐to‐bog restoration site in Co. Fermanagh, N. Ireland, 4 years after clear‐felling, conifer removal, and cell bunding (surface bunds joined to form watertight cells to retain shallow water and minimize edge effects), shows accelerated Sphagnum growth—exemplifying restoring degraded peatland toward near‐natural conditions—that is, minimally ...

The Immunology of Alpha‐Gal Syndrome: History, Tick Bites, IgE, and Delayed Anaphylaxis to Mammalian Meat

Immunological Reviews, Volume 332, Issue 1, July 2025.
ABSTRACT The primary features of the alpha‐gal syndrome (AGS) are (i) The IgE ab that are causally related to anaphylaxis with infusions of Cetuximab are specific for galactose alpha‐1,3‐galactose. (ii) In the USA, this IgE ab is induced by bites of the tick Amblyomma americanum. (iii) The anaphylactic reactions to food derived from non‐primate mammals

Surveillance of Ixodes ricinus ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) in Iceland [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2017
Ixodes ricinus is a three-host tick, a principal vector of Borrelia burgdorferi (s.l.) and one of the main vectors of tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) virus. Iceland is located in the North Atlantic Ocean with subpolar oceanic climate. During the past 3-4 decades, average temperature has increased, supporting more favourable conditions for ticks.

Prevalence of Neoehrlichia mikurensis in ticks and rodents from North-west Europe

Parasites & Vectors, 2012
Background Neoehrlichia mikurensis s an emerging and vector-borne zoonosis: The first human disease cases were reported in 2010. Limited information is available about the prevalence and distribution of Neoehrlichia mikurensis in Europe, its natural life

Positive Molecular Detection of Rickettsia helvetica in Great Tits From Central Poland

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2025.
Great Tits were trapped in central Poland from three different habitats: a suburban forest, an urban park, and green patches near the city center. Ixodes ricinus species and samples of birds blood were collected from birds. Blood samples and ticks were molecularly tested for the presence of Rickettsia. Tick infestation was low at 5.5%.
