New insights into Lyme disease

open access: yesRedox Biology, 2015
Lyme borreliosis is transmitted through the bite of a tick that is infected by the bacterial spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi. Clinical manifestation of the disease can lead to heart conditions, neurological disorders, and inflammatory disorders ...

Effects of conservation management of landscapes and vertebrate communities on Lyme borreliosis risk in the United Kingdom

open access: yesPhilosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2017
Landscape change and altered host abundance are major drivers of zoonotic pathogen emergence. Conservation and biodiversity management of landscapes and vertebrate communities can have secondary effects on vector-borne pathogen transmission that are ...

Differential Impact of Simultaneous or Sequential Coinfections With Borrelia afzelii and Tick‐Borne Encephalitis Virus on the Ixodes ricinus Microbiota

open access: yesInternational Journal of Microbiology, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Ticks, particularly Ixodes ricinus, are significant vectors of pathogens such as Borrelia spp. and tick‐borne encephalitis virus (TBEV), which cause Lyme borreliosis (LB) and tick‐borne encephalitis (TBE), respectively. Understanding how these pathogens interact within the tick microbiome is essential for developing vector control strategies.

Ticks and Tick‐Borne Pathogens Encountered by Dogs and Cats: A North European Perspective

open access: yesTransboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Climate change is increasing the worldwide burden of tick‐borne diseases (TBDs). Dramatic increases in human cases of borreliosis have been reported during the past few decades, including from Finland, located in North Europe. As human exposure to ticks carrying pathogens is increasing, so likely is exposure of dogs and cats.

Temporal Changes in Tick‐Borne Pathogen Prevalence in Questing Ixodes ricinus Across Different Habitats in the North‐Eastern Italian Alps

open access: yesMicrobiologyOpen, Volume 13, Issue 6, December 2024.
This study examines the prevalence of tick‐borne pathogens in Ixodes ricinus ticks in the north‐eastern Italian Alps. It found an average infection rate of 27.1%, with 11 zoonotic pathogens identified, showing varying infection rates across different years and habitats.
