Climatic stress decreases tick survival but increases rate of host‐seeking behavior

Ecosphere, Volume 14, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Ticks are vectors of many diseases and are expanding in geographic distribution. However, how ticks will fare in their new environments, where they may experience stressful climatic conditions at the expansion front, remains unclear. Since there is a trade‐off in ticks between behaviors that promote longevity and behaviors that promote ...

Does environmental adaptation or dispersal history explain the geographical distribution of Ixodes ricinus and Ixodes persulcatus ticks in Finland?

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022
We examined whether distinct environmental adaptations or dispersal history provides a more parsimonious explanation for the differences in the distributions of Ixodes ricinus and Ixodes persulcatus in Finland. We found evidence that the two most common and medically relevant ixodes ticks in Finland may colonize habitats with different environmental ...

Spatial and temporal heterogeneity of the density of Borrelia burgdorferi‐infected Ixodes ricinus ticks across a landscape: A 5‐year study in southern England

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 36, Issue 3, Page 356-370, September 2022., 2022
Ixodes ricinus nymph density and Borrelia‐infected tick nymph prevalence (7.6%) varied widely across a rural landscape both spatially between habitats and temporally over the 5‐year study (2013–2017). Highest tick densities and Borrelia prevalences were in woodland and woodland edge habitats, varying three‐fold between years.

Bartonella spp. detection in ticks, Culicoides biting midges and wild cervids from Norway

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 68, Issue 2, Page 941-951, March 2021., 2021
Abstract Bartonella spp. are fastidious, gram‐negative, aerobic, facultative intracellular bacteria that infect humans, and domestic and wild animals. In Norway, Bartonella spp. have been detected in cervids, mainly within the distribution area of the arthropod vector deer ked (Lipoptena cervi).

Harm or protection? The adaptive function of tick toxins

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 14, Issue 2, Page 271-277, February 2021., 2021
Abstract The existence of tick toxins is an old enigma that has intrigued scientists for a long time. The adaptive value of using deadly toxins for predatory animals is obvious: they try to kill the prey in the most effective way or protect themselves from their natural enemies. Ticks, however, are blood‐sucking parasites, and it seems paradoxical that
