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

open access: yesPathogens, 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.

Environmental determinants of the occurrence and activity of Ixodes ricinus ticks and the prevalence of tick-borne diseases in eastern Poland

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Ixodes ricinus is the most widely distributed tick species in Europe. Mainly deciduous and mixed forests, pastures, and urban parks are habitats preferred by this species. I.

Quantitative microbial population study reveals geographical differences in bacterial symbionts of Ixodes ricinus

open access: yesMicrobiome, 2021
Background Ixodes ricinus ticks vector pathogens that cause serious health concerns. Like in other arthropods, the microbiome may affect the tick’s biology, with consequences for pathogen transmission.

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

open access: yesParasites & 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.

Bartonella infections in fleas (Siphonaptera : Pulicidae) and lack of Bartonellae in ticks (Acari : Ixodidae) from Hungary [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Fleas (95 Pulex irritans, 50 Ctenocephalides felis, 45 Ctenocephalides canis) and ixodid ticks (223 Ixodes ricinus, 231 Dermacentor reticulatus, 204 Haemaphysalis concinna) were collected in Hungary and tested, in assays based on PCR, for Bartonella ...

Castor oil (Ricinus communis): a review on the chemical composition and physicochemical properties

open access: yes, 2020
Ricinus communis is an annual oilseed crop commonly known as castor. It is sometimes called castor bean, but it’s not a true bean in nature. Castor plant, belonging to the spurge family Euphorbiaceae can grow in different geographical areas (Anjani, 2014)

Transovarial transmission of Borrelia spp., Rickettsia spp. and Anaplasma phagocytophilum in Ixodes ricinus under field conditions extrapolated from DNA detection in questing larvae

open access: yesParasites & Vectors, 2020
Ixodes ricinus constitutes the main European vector tick for the Lyme borreliosis pathogen Borrelia burgdorferi (sensu lato), the relapsing fever borrelia Borrelia miyamotoi, as well as Anaplasma phagocytophilum and several Rickettsia species.

Modeling the effects of variable feeding patterns of larval ticks on the transmission of Borrelia lusitaniae and Borrelia afzelii [PDF]

open access: yes, 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

Evaluation of Disease Causality of Rare Ixodes ricinus-Borne Infections in Europe

open access: yesPathogens, 2020
In Europe, Ixodes ricinus ticks transmit pathogens such as Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato and tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV). In addition, there is evidence for transmission to humans from I. ricinus of Anaplasma phagocytophilum, Babesia divergens,
