Insights on the phenology of the Asian longhorned tick (Haemaphysalis longicornis) using stored lipids

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Lipid analysis of field‐collected ticks unveiled a complex population structure and supports the potential for several stages to overwinter. Abstract The seasonality of Haemaphysalis longicornis in the United States comprises overlapping life stages in the spring and summer.

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.

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.

Tick‐Borne Encephalitis (TBE) Vaccine in the National Immunisation Programme—For Whom, When and Where?

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 ...

Detection of Anaplasma phagocytophilum and Babesia aktasi in a wild bezoar goat (Capra aegagrus): Overlap with domestic goat strains

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
This study provides the first molecular detection of tick‐borne pathogens in Capra aegagrus. Genetic analysis reveals similarities between Babesia aktasi and Anaplasma phagocytophilum strains in bezoar and domestic goats, indicating potential pathogen exchange.

Melting pot of tick-borne zoonoses : the European hedgehog contributes to the maintenance of various tick-borne diseases in natural cycles urban and suburban areas [PDF]

, 2017
Background: European hedgehogs (Erinaceus europaeus) are urban dwellers and host both Ixodes ricinus and Ixodes hexagonus. These ticks transmit several zoonotic pathogens like Borrelia burgdorferi (sensu lato), Anaplasma phagocytophilum, Rickettsia ...

Unravelling the biochemical aspects of the interaction between ticks and Leishmania using a tick cell line

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Leishmania infantum propagated in IDE8 tick cell line in vitro. L. infantum reduces tick cell viability and induces reactive oxygen species production. Lipidic profile of IDE8 tick cell line is altered during Leishmania infection. Abstract Leishmaniasis comprises a group of vector‐borne neglected tropical diseases caused by species of the obligatory ...

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.
