Prevalence of tick-borne pathogens in questing Ixodes ricinus ticks in urban and suburban areas of Switzerland

Parasites & Vectors, 2017
Background Throughout Europe, Ixodes ricinus transmits numerous pathogens. Its widespread distribution is not limited to rural but also includes urbanized areas. To date, comprehensive data on pathogen carrier rates of I.

First evidence of established populations of the taiga tick Ixodes persulcatus (Acari: Ixodidae) in Sweden [PDF]

, 2016
Background: The tick species Ixodes ricinus and I. persulcatus are of exceptional medical importance in the western and eastern parts, respectively, of the Palaearctic region. In Russia and Finland the range of I. persulcatus has recently increased.

Risk Factors for Tick‐Borne Diseases in Germany: A Scoping Review

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 73, Issue 4, Page 297-313, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Tick‐borne diseases (TBDs) have proliferated in Germany. The two most prevalent TBDs, Lyme‐borreliosis and tick‐borne encephalitis, can present with nonspecific symptoms and lead to serious neurological complications. To date, a review synthesising the risk factors of acquiring a TBD in Germany is missing.

Citizen Science Tick Observations Serve as an Early Warning System for Tick‐Borne Diseases

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 73, Issue 3, Page 234-243, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Tick observation data collected through citizen science is increasingly utilised to map tick‐borne infection risk areas indirectly, that is, based on the rate of tick encounters or occurrence of ticks. However, direct associations between tick observations and Lyme borreliosis (LB) cases have received little attention.

Estimating Ixodes ricinus densities on the landscape scale [PDF]

International Journal of Health Geographics, 2015
Background: The study describes the estimation of the spatial distribution of questing nymphal tick densities by investigating Ixodes ricinus in Southwest Germany as an example. The production of high-resolution maps of questing tick densities is an important key to quantify the risk of tick-borne diseases. Previous I.

Search for blood or water is influenced by Borrelia burgdorferi in Ixodes ricinus

Parasites & Vectors, 2015
An increasing number of studies suggest that vector-borne parasites are able to alter phenotypic traits in their arthropod vectors so that microorganism transmission is enhanced.

Alternative Approaches and Plant‐Based Remedies for Livestock Health Management Among the Batswana of Southern Africa: A Review

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Due to limited access to, and the high cost of conventional veterinary services, Batswana communities often rely on ethnoveterinary practices for livestock health management. This review provides an in‐depth analysis on the ethnoveterinary uses, biological properties and safety assessment of plants utilised in livestock husbandry. A systematic

Newly identified DNA methyltransferases of Ixodes ricinus ticks

Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2020
DNA methylation at the fifth position of cytosine (5mC) and at the sixth position of adenine (6 mA) plays an important role in the regulation of the gene expression and, in eukaryotes, is essential for normal development. For Ixodes ricinus, the most common European arthropod vector of human and animal pathogens, the DNA methylation profile and the ...

Absence of Francisella tularensis in Finnish Ixodes ricinus and Ixodes persulcatus ticks

Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2021
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.
