Characterizing the virome of Ixodes ricinus ticks from northern Europe [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2017
RNA viruses are abundant infectious agents and present in all domains of life. Arthropods, including ticks, are well known as vectors of many viruses of concern for human and animal health.

Ixodes ricinus ticks have a functional association with Midichloria mitochondrii

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2023
In addition to being vectors of pathogenic bacteria, ticks also harbor intracellular bacteria that associate with ticks over generations, aka symbionts.

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 ...

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.

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

Green Synthesis, Characterization, Enzyme Inhibition, Antimicrobial Potential, and Cytotoxic Activity of Plant Mediated Silver Nanoparticle Using Ricinus communis Leaf and Root Extracts

Biomolecules, 2021
The need of non-toxic synthesis protocols for nanoparticles arises developing interest in biogenic approaches. The present project was focused on cost effective, environment congenial synthesis of Ag nanoparticles and their biological applications.

Possible expansion of Ixodes ricinus in the United Kingdom identified through the Tick Surveillance Scheme between 2013 and 2020

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, 2022
The tick Ixodes ricinus (Ixodida: Ixodidae, Linnaeus) is the main vector of several pathogens including Borrelia burgdorferi s.l. (agent of Lyme borreliosis) and tick‐borne encephalitis virus.

Temporal patterns in Ixodes ricinus microbial communities: an insight into tick-borne microbe interactions

Microbiome, 2021
Ticks transmit pathogens of medical and veterinary importance and are an increasing threat to human and animal health. Assessing disease risk and developing new control strategies requires identifying members of the tick-borne microbiota as well as their

Circulation of Babesia Species and Their Exposure to Humans through Ixodes ricinus

Pathogens, 2021
Human babesiosis in Europe has been attributed to infection with Babesia divergens and, to a lesser extent, with Babesia venatorum and Babesia microti, which are all transmitted to humans through a bite of Ixodes ricinus.

Tick infestation on medium–large-sized mammalian hosts: are all equally suitable to Ixodes ricinus adults?

Parasites & Vectors, 2021
Background In Europe, the generalist tick, Ixodes ricinus , is the main vector of several tick-borne pathogens causing diseases in humans and livestock. Understanding how different species of hosts limit the tick population is crucial for management.
