Ticks and Tick-borne diseases in Ireland [PDF]

Irish Veterinary Journal, 2017
Throughout Europe interest in tick-borne agents is increasing, particularly with regard to those that can cause human disease. The reason for this is the apparent rise in the incidence of many tick-borne diseases (TBD's). While there has never been a national survey of ticks or TBD's in Ireland, the trend here appears to be the reverse with a decline ...

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

Emerging Tick-Borne Diseases [PDF]

Clinical Microbiology Reviews, 2020
Increases in tick-borne disease prevalence and transmission are important public health issues. Efforts to control these emerging diseases are frustrated by the struggle to control tick populations and to detect and treat infections caused by the pathogens that they transmit. This review covers tick-borne infectious diseases of nonrickettsial bacterial,

Ticks and tick-borne diseases [PDF]

Médecine et Maladies Infectieuses, 2019
Ticks are a major group of arthropod vectors, characterized by the diversity of pathogens they transmit, by their impact on human and animal health, and by their socioeconomic implication especially in countries of the Southern Hemisphere. In Europe, Ixodes is the most important tick due to its wide distribution in the ecosystems and the variety of ...
