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 ...

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

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 ...

Genome Sequence of Alongshan Virus from Ixodes ricinus Ticks Collected in Switzerland

Microbiology Resource Announcements, 2023
Here, we report the detection of an Alongshan virus (ALSV) strain in Switzerland. Next-generation sequencing of homogenates from Ixodes ricinus ticks collected in Canton Grisons, Switzerland, in 2022 yielded a coding-complete ALSV genome.

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 ...

Questing Ixodes ricinus ticks and Borrelia spp. in urban green space across Europe: A review

Zoonoses and Public Health, 2022
For more than three decades, it has been recognized that Ixodes ricinus ticks occur in urban green space in Europe and that they harbour multiple pathogens linked to both human and animal diseases. Urban green space use for health and well‐being, climate
