The impact of Ricinus straw on tomato growth and soil microbial community. [PDF]
Front MicrobiolReturning straw can alter the soil microbial community, reduce the occurrence of soilborne diseases, and promote plant growth. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effects of Ricinus straw on tomato growth and rhizosphere microbial community.

Modeling the effects of variable feeding patterns of larval ticks on the transmission of Borrelia lusitaniae and Borrelia afzelii [PDF]
, 2017 Spirochetes belonging to the Borrelia burgdoferi sensu lato (sl) group cause Lyme Borreliosis (LB), which is the most commonly reported vector-borne zoonosis in Europe. B. burgdorferi sl is maintained in nature in a complex cycle involving Ixodes ricinus ticks and several species of vertebrate hosts. The transmission dynamics of B.

Natural Transmission of Zoonotic Babesia spp. by Ixodes ricinus Ticks [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2009 To determine characteristics of natural transmission of Babesia sp. EU1 and B. divergens by adult Ixodes ricinus ticks, we examined tick salivary gland contents. We found that I.

Seasonal distribution of Borreliae in Ixodes ricinus ticks in the Belgrade region [PDF]
Archives of Biological Sciences, 2006 Green areas at four localities in the Belgrade region (Ada Ciganlija, Košutnjak, Miljakovac forest, and Mt. Avala) were investigated in 2004. The aim of the research was to clarify the faunistic composition, relative abundance, and population dynamics of

Vaccination against Bm86 Homologues in Rabbits Does Not Impair Ixodes ricinus Feeding or Oviposition. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Human tick-borne diseases that are transmitted by Ixodes ricinus, such as Lyme borreliosis and tick borne encephalitis, are on the rise in Europe. Diminishing I. ricinus populations in nature can reduce tick exposure to humans, and one way to do so is by

Pathogens in ticks collected from dogs in Berlin/Brandenburg, Germany [PDF]
Parasites & Vectors, 2014 Background Tick-borne diseases are a major health risk for humans and dogs. In addition to collection and analysis of questing ticks, analysis of host-associated ticks for the presence of pathogens is a valuable method to gain insight into transmission ...
