Questing ticks, hidden causes : tracking changes in Ixodes ricinus populations and associated pathogens in southwestern Finland [PDF]
Ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) and tick-borne diseases, especially Lyme borreliosis caused by Borrelia burgdorferi s.l. spirochetes and tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) caused by the TBE-virus (TBEV), are a growing problem in northern Europe and Russia.
