Ticks and tick-borne diseases [PDF]
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 ...

Ticks and Tick-borne diseases in Ireland [PDF]
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 ...

Realized Correlation Tick-By-Tick [PDF]
In this paper we extend the approach of directly using all the available tick-by-tick data to the realized correlation estimation. As for the realized volatility, the presence of market microstructure can induce signiflcant bias in standard realized covariance measure computed with artiflcially regularly spaced returns.

Modeling Tick-by-Tick Realized Correlations [PDF]
A tree-structured heterogeneous autoregressive (tree-HAR) process is proposed as a simple and parsimonious model for the estimation and prediction of tick-by-tick realized correlations. The model can account for different time and other relevant predictors’ dependent regime shifts in the conditional mean dynamics of the realized correlation series ...

What Makes Ticks Tick? Climate Change, Ticks, and Tick‐Borne Diseases [PDF]
Over the past decades, tick-borne encephalitis (TBE), Lyme Borreliosis (LB), and other tick-borne diseases (TBDs) have become a growing public health problem in Europe and other parts of the world. In Europe, 90% to 95% of all tick bite incidences in humans are caused by Ixodes (I) ricinus (in Eastern Europe by persulcatus). Neglecting the large number

Perception of Ticks and Tick-Borne Diseases Worldwide
In this comprehensive review study, we addressed the challenge posed by ticks and tick-borne diseases (TBDs) with growing incidence affecting human and animal health worldwide. Data and perspectives were collected from different countries and regions worldwide, including America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Oceania.

Tick bite prevention and tick removal [PDF]
#### Summary points (advice for patients) Ticks are small blood feeding ectoparasites with a global distribution. They are important vectors of disease pathogens including rickettsiae, spirochaetes, and viruses. Prevention of tick attachment and rapid removal reduce the risk of contracting tickborne diseases, and there are many recommendations on how
