Impacts Over Time of Neighborhood-Scale Interventions to Control Ticks and Tick-Borne Disease Incidence. [PDF]

Vector Borne Zoonotic Dis, 2023
Background: Controlling populations of ticks with biological or chemical acaricides is often advocated as a means of reducing human exposure to tick-borne diseases.

One Health Approach to Tick and Tick-Borne Disease Surveillance in the United Kingdom. [PDF]

Int J Environ Res Public Health, 2022
Where ticks are found, tick-borne diseases can present a threat to human and animal health. The aetiology of many of these important diseases, including Lyme disease, bovine babesiosis, tick-borne fever and louping ill, have been known for decades whilst

Babesiosis in Southeastern, Central and Northeastern Europe: An Emerging and Re-Emerging Tick-Borne Disease of Humans and Animals. [PDF]

Microorganisms, 2022
There is now considerable evidence that in Europe, babesiosis is an emerging infectious disease, with some of the causative species spreading as a consequence of the increasing range of their tick vector hosts.

The Impacts of Climate Change on Ticks and Tick-Borne Disease Risk.

Annual Review of Entomology, 2021
Ticks exist on all continents and carry more zoonotic pathogens than any other type of vector. Ticks spend most of their lives in the external environment away from the host and are thus expected to be affected by changes in climate.

Distribution and prevalence of ticks and tick-borne disease on sheep and cattle farms in Great Britain

Parasites & Vectors, 2020
The most abundant and widespread tick species in Great Britain, Ixodes ricinus, is responsible for the transmission of a range of pathogens that cause disease in livestock.

Range Expansion of Tick Disease Vectors in North America: Implications for Spread of Tick-Borne Disease

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2018
Ticks are the major vectors of most disease-causing agents to humans, companion animals and wildlife. Moreover, ticks transmit a greater variety of pathogenic agents than any other blood-feeding arthropod.

Spatiotemporal spread of tick-borne encephalitis in the EU/EEA, 2012 to 2020

Euro surveillance : bulletin Europeen sur les maladies transmissibles = European communicable disease bulletin, 2023
Background Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) is a vaccine-preventable disease involving the central nervous system. TBE became a notifiable disease on the EU/EEA level in 2012.

Mice Against Ticks: an experimental community-guided effort to prevent tick-borne disease by altering the shared environment

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Biological Sciences, 2019
Mice Against Ticks is a community-guided ecological engineering project that aims to prevent tick-borne disease by using CRISPR-based genome editing to heritably immunize the white-footed mice (Peromyscus leucopus) responsible for infecting many ticks in

Systematic review and meta-analysis of tick-borne disease risk factors in residential yards, neighborhoods, and beyond

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2019
BackgroundExposure to blacklegged ticks Ixodes scapularis that transmit pathogens is thought to occur peri-domestically. However, the locations where people most frequently encounter infected ticks are not well characterized, leading to mixed messages ...
