Journal ArticleDOI
Mammal density and patterns of ectoparasite species richness and abundance
TL;DR: It is found that host density has a major influence on the species richness of ectoparasite communities of small mammals among host populations, and there is no relationship between data of host density from the literature and parasite species richness.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A genomic survey of the species, a subtyping tool targeting the 60-kDa glycoprotein (gp60) gene, and 6 subtype families (XIIa–XIIf) of C. ubiquitum were conducted, finding host adaptation was apparent at the gp60 locus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Empirical Evaluation of Neutral Interactions in Host-Parasite Networks
TL;DR: It is found that species abundance accurately predicts network metrics at all levels and hypothesize that trait matching would determine potential interactions between species, while abundance would determine their realization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic Variability within Borrelia burgdorferi Sensu Lato Genospecies Established by PCR-Single-Strand Conformation Polymorphism Analysis of the rrfA-rrlB Intergenic Spacer in Ixodes ricinus Ticks from the Czech Republic
TL;DR: In this paper, DNA from 370 Ixodes ricinus ticks collected in the Czech Republic was analyzed by PCR for the presence of a approximately 230-bp fragment of the rrfA-rrlB intergenic spacer of Borrelia spp.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatial distribution of Dermacentor reticulatus tick in Slovakia in the beginning of the 21st century
TL;DR: New areas with D. reticulatus occurrence were detected in Slovakia, providing evidence that this tick species has extended its range not only by at least 200 km further North and by 300 m of elevation into higher altitudes.
