Tick-borne pathogens in Finland: comparison of Ixodes ricinus and I. persulcatus in sympatric and parapatric areas [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2018
Background Almost 3500 tick samples, originally collected via a nationwide citizen science campaign in 2015, were screened to reveal the prevalence and distribution of a wide spectrum of established and putative tick-borne pathogens vectored by Ixodes ...

Northward expansion of the thermal limit for the tick Ixodes ricinus over the past 40 years [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors
Background The sheep tick Ixodes ricinus is the vector associated with the highest incidence of vector-borne disease in humans in Europe. Several studies have been published about the effect of future climate change on the potential distribution of I ...

Pathogens transmitted by Ixodes ricinus.

Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases
Ixodes ricinus is the most important tick vector in central and western Europe and one of the most researched parasites. However, in the published literature on the tick and the pathogens it transmits, conjecture about specific transmission cycles and the clinical significance of certain microbes is not always clearly separated from confirmed facts ...

Disparate dynamics of pathogen prevalence in Ixodes ricinus and Dermacentor reticulatus ticks occurring sympatrically in diverse habitats

Scientific Reports, 2023
Ixodes ricinus and Dermacentor reticulatus ticks are important reservoirs and vectors of pathogens. The aim of the present study was to investigate the dynamic of the prevalence and genetic diversity of microorganisms detected in these tick species ...
