Questing Ixodes ricinus ticks and Borrelia spp. in urban green space across Europe: A review

Kayleigh M. Hansford et al.

Summary: This review synthesizes the research results on the presence of Ixodes ricinus ticks and Borrelia infections in urban green spaces in 24 European countries. The study found that these pathogens are distributed in various urban green space habitats and vary seasonally. However, the impact of human exposure to these ticks and subsequent Lyme borreliosis incidence in urban green spaces has not been quantified.

Urban woodland habitat is important for tick presence and density in a city in England

Kayleigh M. Hansford et al.

Summary: This study investigates tick presence, nymph density, and Borrelia infection in urban green spaces in Bath, England, revealing the potential risk of Lyme borreliosis to the public. The findings emphasize the importance of considering tick bites as a public health concern in urban green space planning and management.

Spatial and temporal heterogeneity of the density of Borrelia burgdorferi-infected Ixodes ricinus ticks across a landscape: A 5-year study in southern England

Jolyon M. Medlock et al.

Summary: This study investigated the density of Borrelia burgdorferi-infected Ixodes ricinus nymphs (DIN) across a Lyme disease-endemic landscape in southern England from 2013-2017. The results showed variations in nymph density (DON), nymph infection prevalence (NIP), and DIN across different natural habitats, with the highest DIN in woodland edge and high biodiversity woodlands. The study also discussed the potential impacts of scrub vegetation and bird/gamebirds on tick infection rates.

A nationwide study on Borrelia burgdorferi s.l. infection rates in questing Ixodes ricinus: a six-year snapshot study in protected recreational areas in England and Wales

B. Cull et al.

Summary: This study investigated the variation in Borrelia burgdorferi s.l. infection rates in Ixodes ricinus ticks across 24 field sites in England and Wales, showing site-specific and year-to-year differences. The main genospecies detected was B. garinii, highlighting the spatial and temporal variability in infected tick bites in areas used for outdoor activities in England and Wales.

High Diversity, Prevalence, and Co-infection Rates of Tick-Borne Pathogens in Ticks and Wildlife Hosts in an Urban Area in Romania

Silvia-Diana Borsan et al.

Summary: This study conducted protein testing for co-infections of ticks and wildlife in urban Romania, demonstrating high diversity of Borrelia pathogens in urban ticks, and almost 70% of infected ticks showed co-infections. The results highlight the importance of establishing proper tick surveillance programs in cities.

Ticks, Human Babesiosis and Climate Change

Jeremy S. Gray et al.

Summary: The distribution and activity of primary ixodid vectors of human babesiosis are impacted by global warming, leading to northwards expansion of tick populations. Models predict an increase in cases of human babesiosis further north, although no concrete evidence of the disease being affected by global warming currently exists.

What do we still need to know about Ixodes ricinus?

Jeremy Gray et al.

Summary: Despite decades of research on the castor bean tick in Europe, many important aspects of its basic biology remain elusive, such as seasonal development, abundance, host specificity, and the role of the microbiome in pathogen transmission. Further understanding of these issues will help improve prevention and control measures.

Borrelia burgdorferi Sensu Lato in Questing and Engorged Ticks from Different Habitat Types in Southern Germany

Cristian Raileanu et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates high infection levels and diverse genospecies of Borrelia in questing ticks in different habitats in Southern Germany. The presence of roe deer appears to reduce infection rates of B. burgdorferi s.l. in tick populations.
