Ecology of Anaplasmosis in Central Europe
Anaplasma phagocytophilum is the causative agent of granulocytic anaplasmosis of both medical and veterinary importance. In Europe, it is transmitted by the Ixodid ticks, mostly Ixodes ricinus, however other tick species such as Ixodes trianguliceps ...

Rickettsia spp. are the causative agents of a number of diseases in humans. These bacteria are transmitted by arthropods, including ixodid ticks. DNA of several Rickettsia spp. was identified in Ixodes persulcatus ticks, however, the association of Ixodes trianguliceps ticks with Rickettsia spp. is unknown. In our study, blood samples of small mammals (

To support the results of typing the amplicon of the spacer site 5S-23S of pRNA by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) assay, the isolates from the ticks I. trianguliceps and I. pavlovskyi underwent sequenation of rrf (5S)-rrl (23S) spacer to make a comparative analysis of derived nucleotide sequences with the DDBJ/EMBL/ GenBank databases ...

The effect of Babesia microti on feeding and survival in its tick vector, Ixodes trianguliceps
SUMMARYEvidence is presented that Babesia microti may promote its transmission amongst rodents by enhancing the feeding success and survival of its tick vector, Ixodes trianguliceps. Both the mean engorged weight of larval ticks and the percentage moult of larvae to nymphs increased as larvae fed on naive hosts later in the parasitaemic cycle up to a ...

Growth of Cowdria ruminantium, the causative agent of heartwater, in a tick cell line [PDF]
The tick-borne rickettsia Cowdria ruminantium has been propagated continuously for over 500 days in the Ixodes scapularis tick cell line IDE8 by using the Gardel isolate from bovine endothelial cells as an inoculum.

Thresholds for ecto-parasite persistence in a vertebrate metapopulation
This thesis investigates how host metapopulation processes (local population size and dispersal) affect the prevalence and persistence of ectoparasites of water voles (Arvicola terrestris). Water voles have been found to persist as metapopulations in the
