Cascading effects of predator activity on tick-borne disease risk

Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2017
Predators and competitors of vertebrates can in theory reduce the density of infected nymphs (DIN)—an often-used measure of tick-borne disease risk—by lowering the density of reservoir-competent hosts and/or the tick burden on reservoir-competent hosts ...

Advancing the Science of Tick and Tick-Borne Disease Surveillance in the United States

Insects, 2019
Globally, vector-borne diseases are an increasing public health burden; in the United States, tick-borne diseases have tripled in the last three years. The United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recognizes the need for resilience ...

Using volunteered observations to map human exposure to ticks. [PDF]

, 2018
Lyme borreliosis (LB) is the most prevalent tick-borne disease in Europe and its incidence has steadily increased over the last two decades. In the Netherlands alone, more than 20,000 citizens are affected by LB each year.

Comorbid infections induce progression of visceral leishmaniasis

Parasites & Vectors, 2019
Background Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a vector borne zoonotic disease endemic in humans and dogs in Brazil. Due to the increased risk of human infection secondary to the presence of infected dogs, public health measures in Brazil mandate testing and ...

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.

Borrelia Diversity and Co-infection with Other Tick Borne Pathogens in Ticks [PDF]

, 2017
Identifying Borrelia burgdorferi as the causative agent of Lyme disease in 1981 was a watershed moment in understanding the major impact that tick-borne zoonoses can have on public health worldwide, particularly in Europe and the USA.

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 ...
