Effect of rodent density on tick and tick-borne pathogen populations: consequences for infectious disease risk

Parasites & Vectors, 2020
Rodents are considered to contribute strongly to the risk of tick-borne diseases by feeding Ixodes ricinus larvae and by acting as amplifying hosts for pathogens.

Capture Sequencing Enables Sensitive Detection of Tick-Borne Agents in Human Blood

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Assay sensitivity can be a limiting factor in the use of PCR as a tool for the detection of tick-borne pathogens in blood. We evaluated the performance of Tick-borne disease Capture Sequencing Assay (TBDCapSeq), a capture sequencing assay targeting tick ...

Ticking on Pandora’s box: a prospective case-control study into ‘other’ tick-borne diseases

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2021
Background Tick-borne pathogens other than Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato – the causative agent of Lyme borreliosis – are common in Ixodes ricinus ticks. How often these pathogens cause human disease is unknown. In addition, diagnostic tools to identify
