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.

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

Lymphocyte enzymes as an indicator of immune response activity in ixodid tick-borne borreliosis

Epidemiology and Infectious Diseases, 2023
BACKGROUND: Acute ixodid tick-borne borreliosis tends to turn into a protracted and chronic course. This suggests studying the causes of the violation of the immune status of a sick person. The central structural unit of immunity is the lymphocyte. It is known that the formation of specific T-lymphocyte subpopulations is based on the central role of IL-
