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 ...

Diversity of Viruses in Ixodes ricinus in Europe including Novel and Potential Arboviruses

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
Tick‐borne pathogens are responsible for many vector‐borne diseases in Europe, causing important problems for human and animal health. The composition of viral communities in ticks and their interactions with pathogens is little understood, especially in Eastern Europe, an area that represents a major hub for animal‐arthropod vectors exchanges. In this

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.

Insights into Nanopesticides for Ticks: The Superbugs of Livestock

Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
Livestock is an integral part of agriculture countries where ticks play significant role as potent pests causing considerable losses to economy and health. Drug resistance has made these pests supersede conventional therapies and control programs Nanotechnology here comes as an advancing and significant candidate alternatively able to reverse drug ...
