Pattern of tick aggregation on mice: larger than expected distribution tail enhances the spread of tick-borne pathogens [PDF]

PLOS Computational Biology 10 (11): e1003931, 2014, 2014
The spread of tick-borne pathogens represents an important threat to human and animal health in many parts of Eurasia. Here, we analysed a 9-year time series of Ixodes ricinus ticks feeding on Apodemus flavicollis mice (main reservoir-competent host for tick-borne encephalitis, TBE) sampled in Trentino (Northern Italy).
