First evidence of established populations of the taiga tick Ixodes persulcatus (Acari: Ixodidae) in Sweden [PDF]

, 2016
Background: The tick species Ixodes ricinus and I. persulcatus are of exceptional medical importance in the western and eastern parts, respectively, of the Palaearctic region. In Russia and Finland the range of I. persulcatus has recently increased.

Blood meal analysis reveals sources of tick‐borne pathogens and differences in host utilization of juvenile Ixodes ricinus across urban and sylvatic habitats

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 71, Issue 4, Page 442-450, June 2024.
Abstract Aims Urban green spaces are locations of maximal human activity, forming areas of enhanced risk for tick‐borne disease (TBD) transmission. Being also limited in spatial scale, green spaces form prime targets for control schemes aiming to reduce TBD risk.

Exploring the Coinfection and Genetic Diversity of Multiple Tick‐Borne Pathogens in Livestock Population of Punjab, Pakistan

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Tick‐borne diseases affecting domestic animals and humans have increased globally in recent years. Pakistan, in particular, faces a significant economic threat from ticks, where two specific species, Rhipicephalus microplus and Hyalomma anatolicum, act as vectors for various pathogens such as piroplasma, Anaplasma, Ehrlichia, and Rickettsia that pose a

Usutu Virus in Migratory Song Thrushes, Spain [PDF]

, 2013
Our data imply that introduction of USUV (and potentially other flaviviruses such as West Nile virus lineage 2, which has not yet been detected in Spain) from Northern Europe, in addition to local endemicity and introduction from Africa, occurs, and that

Vasculitis due to Candidatus Neoehrlichia mikurensis: A Cohort Study of 40 Swedish Patients

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2020
Abstract Background Candidatus (Ca.) Neoehrlichia (N.) mikurensis is an emerging tick-borne pathogen of humans that is closely related to Ehrlichia and Anaplasma species. This strict intracellular bacterium escapes detection by routine microbiologic diagnostic methods such as blood culture, leading to

Circulation of four Anaplasma phagocytophilum ecotypes in Europe. [PDF]

, 2014
BACKGROUND Anaplasma phagocytophilum is the etiological agent of granulocytic anaplasmosis in humans and animals. Wild animals and ticks play key roles in the enzootic cycles of the pathogen. Potential ecotypes of A.
