Citizen Science Tick Observations Serve as an Early Warning System for Tick‐Borne Diseases

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 73, Issue 3, Page 234-243, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Tick observation data collected through citizen science is increasingly utilised to map tick‐borne infection risk areas indirectly, that is, based on the rate of tick encounters or occurrence of ticks. However, direct associations between tick observations and Lyme borreliosis (LB) cases have received little attention.

Role of mustelids in the life-cycle of ixodid ticks and transmission cycles of four tick-borne pathogens

Parasites & Vectors, 2018
Background Elucidating which wildlife species significantly contribute to the maintenance of Ixodes ricinus populations and the enzootic cycles of the pathogens they transmit is imperative in understanding the driving forces behind the emergence of tick ...

Alternative Approaches and Plant‐Based Remedies for Livestock Health Management Among the Batswana of Southern Africa: A Review

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Due to limited access to, and the high cost of conventional veterinary services, Batswana communities often rely on ethnoveterinary practices for livestock health management. This review provides an in‐depth analysis on the ethnoveterinary uses, biological properties and safety assessment of plants utilised in livestock husbandry. A systematic

Anaplasma phagocytophilum prevalence in ticks and rodents in an urban and natural habitat in South-Western Slovakia

Parasites & Vectors, 2015
Background Ixodes ricinus is the principal vector of Anaplasma phagocytophilum, the ethiological agent of granulocytic anaplasmosis in Europe. Anaplasmosis is an emerging zoonotic disease with a natural enzootic cycle. The reservoir competence of rodents

Delineating Anaplasma phagocytophilum Ecotypes in Coexisting, Discrete Enzootic Cycles

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2009
The emerging tick-borne pathogen Anaplasma phagocytophilum is under increasing scrutiny for the existence of subpopulations that are adapted to different natural cycles. Here, we characterized the diversity of A.

Insights into the contribution of multiple factors on Ixodes ricinus abundance across Europe spanning 20 years using different machine learning algorithms

Ticks and Tick-Borne Diseases
The interplay of biotic and abiotic factors driving Ixodes ricinus abundance trends are not fully understood. Machine learning (ML) approaches are being increasingly used to explore this and predict future abundance patterns of this species, however, the

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

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 ...
