Transstadial Transmission and Replication Kinetics of West Nile Virus Lineage 1 in Laboratory Reared Ixodes ricinus Ticks

Pathogens, 2020
West Nile virus (WNV) is a mosquito-borne agent that has also been isolated from several tick species. Vector competence of Ixodes ricinus, one of the most common tick species in Europe, has been poorly investigated for WNV to date.

Evaluation of Disease Causality of Rare Ixodes ricinus-Borne Infections in Europe

Pathogens, 2020
In Europe, Ixodes ricinus ticks transmit pathogens such as Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato and tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV). In addition, there is evidence for transmission to humans from I. ricinus of Anaplasma phagocytophilum, Babesia divergens,

The peritrophic membrane ofIxodes ricinus [PDF]

Parasitology Research, 1991
A peritrophic membrane was found in all three stages of Ixodes ricinus at no later than 18 h after their placement on rabbits. It was found to remain intact until at least 11, 30 and 10 days after repletion in larvae, nymphs and females, respectively. In blood-feeding I.

Prevalence of Anaplasma phagocytophilum infection and effect on lamb growth [PDF]

, 2011
Background: A major challenge in sheep farming during the grazing season along the coast of south-western Norway is tick-borne fever (TBF) caused by the bacteria Anaplasma phagocytophilum that is transmitted by the tick Ixodes ricinus.

Studying the Circulation of Etiological Agent of Lyme Borreliosis in Stavropol Region

Проблемы особо опасных инфекций, 2008
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 %.

Genetic analysis challenges the presence of Ixodes inopinatus in Central Europe: development of a multiplex PCR to distinguish I. inopinatus from I. ricinus

Parasites & Vectors, 2023
Background Ixodes ricinus is an important vector of several pathogens, primarily in Europe. Recently, Ixodes inopinatus was described from Spain, Portugal, and North Africa and then reported from several European countries.

Management Options for Ixodes ricinus-Associated Pathogens: A Review of Prevention Strategies

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2020
Ticks are important human and animal parasites and vectors of many infectious disease agents. Control of tick activity is an effective tool to reduce the risk of contracting tick-transmitted diseases.

Ixodes ricinus as potential vector for Usutu virus. [PDF]

PLoS Negl Trop Dis
Usutu virus (USUV) is an emerging flavivirus that is maintained in an enzootic cycle with mosquitoes as vectors and birds as amplifying hosts. In Europe, the virus has caused mass mortality of wild birds, mainly among Common Blackbird (Turdus merula) populations.

Temporal patterns in Ixodes ricinus microbial communities: an insight into tick-borne microbe interactions

bioRxiv, 2020
Background Ticks transmit pathogens of medical and veterinary importance and are an increasing threat to human and animal health. Assessing disease risk and developing new control strategies requires identifying members of the tick-borne microbiota as ...

The importance of lizards and small mammals as reservoirs for Borrelia lusitaniae in Portugal [PDF]

, 2014
Borrelia lusitaniae is a pathogen frequent in the Mediterranean area. Apart from lizards, evidence for birds and small mammals as competent reservoirs for this genospecies has been occasional.
