Diversity and prevalence of spotted-fever group rickettsiae in ixodid ticks across Slovakia, Central Europe

Ticks and Tick-Borne Diseases
Habitats with the sympatric occurrence of several ixodid tick species are significant from an epidemiological perspective. These habitats can influence the diversity and prevalence of tick-borne pathogens, and their monitoring can help estimate the risk ...

Tick parasites of rodents in Romania: host preferences, community structure and geographical distribution

Parasites & Vectors, 2012
Background Ticks are among the most important vectors of zoonotic diseases in temperate regions of Europe, with widespread distribution and high densities, posing an important medical risk. Most ticks feed on a variety of progressively larger hosts, with

Distinct Anaplasma phagocytophilum genotypes associated with Ixodes trianguliceps ticks and rodents in Central Europe

Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2014
Rodents are important reservoir hosts of tick-borne pathogens. Anaplasma phagocytophilum is the causative agent of granulocytic anaplasmosis of both medical and veterinary importance. In Europe, this pathogen is primarily transmitted by the Ixodes ricinus tick among a wide range of vertebrate hosts. However, to what degree A.

Anaplasma phagocytophilum prevalence in ticks and rodents in an urban and natural habitat in South-Western Slovakia

Parasites & Vectors, 2015
Background Ixodes ricinus is the principal vector of Anaplasma phagocytophilum, the ethiological agent of granulocytic anaplasmosis in Europe. Anaplasmosis is an emerging zoonotic disease with a natural enzootic cycle. The reservoir competence of rodents

Circulation of four Anaplasma phagocytophilum ecotypes in Europe

Parasites & Vectors, 2014
Background Anaplasma phagocytophilum is the etiological agent of granulocytic anaplasmosis in humans and animals. Wild animals and ticks play key roles in the enzootic cycles of the pathogen. Potential ecotypes of A.

Identification of I-ricinus, I-persulcatus and I-trianguliceps species by multiplex PCR

, 2017
Correct identification of tick species is an essential requirement for any scientific study engaged in tick associated research. However, morphological identification can lead to misinterpretations, especially when dealing with vector-host research and ...

Effects of a mega wildfire on small mammals and ticks in a boreal forest in Sweden

Ticks and Tick-Borne Diseases
Ticks transmit pathogens among wildlife and humans, with small mammals acting as key reservoirs. Climate change may increase disease risk through expanding tick distributions and more frequent wildfires, which alter habitat conditions, influencing small ...

Genetic polymorphism of the р66 gene of Borrelia bavariensis circulating in a natural focus and its association with Ixodid tick-borne borrelioses in the population of the Middle Urals

Журнал микробиологии, эпидемиологии и иммунобиологии
Introduction. Ixodid tick–borne borrelioses (ITBB) is a naturally occurring focal vector-borne infection. The most common pathogens in Russia are Borrelia garinii, B. afzelii, and B. bavariensis.

Variations in Ixodes ricinus Density and Borrelia Infections Associated with Cattle Introduced into a Woodland in The Netherlands [PDF]

, 2008
The effect of introduced large herbivores on the abundance of Ixodes ricinus ticks and their Borrelia infections was studied in a natural woodland in The Netherlands. Oak and pine plots, either ungrazed or grazed by cattle, were selected.
