Driving forces for changes in geographical distribution of Ixodes ricinus ticks in Europe

Jolyon M. Medlock, +22 more
- 02 Jan 2013 - 
TL;DR: Improved tick surveillance with harmonized approaches for comparison of data enabling the follow-up of trends at EU level will improve the messages on risk related to tick-borne diseases to policy makers, other stake holders and to the general public.
Journal ArticleDOI

Changes in the geographical distribution and abundance of the tick Ixodes ricinus during the past 30 years in Sweden

Thomas G. T. Jaenson, +4 more
- 10 Jan 2012 - 
TL;DR: Ixodes ricinus has expanded its range in North Sweden and has become distinctly more abundant in Central and South Sweden during the last three decades, however, in the northern mountain region I. ricinus is still absent.

Lyme borreliosis in Europe: influences of climate and climate change, epidemiology, ecology and adaptation measures

Elisabet Lindgren, +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the impacts of climate change and adaptation on Lyme borreliosis (LB) in Europe were reviewed and it was concluded that future climate change in Europe will facilitate a spread of LB into higher latitudes and altitudes, and contribute to increased disease occurrence in endemic areas.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transhemispheric exchange of Lyme disease spirochetes by seabirds

Bjorn R. Olsen, +5 more
- 01 Dec 1995 - 
TL;DR: A significant role for seabirds in a global transmission cycle is shown by demonstrating the presence of Lyme disease Borrelia spirochetes in Ixodes uriae ticks from several seabird colonies in both the Southern and Northern Hemispheres.
Journal ArticleDOI

European reservoir hosts of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato.

Lise Gern, +9 more
- 01 Mar 1998 - 
TL;DR: Nine small mammals, 7 medium-sized mammals and 16 bird species appear to be capable of transmitting spirochaetes to ticks and thus of participating in the natural circulation of B. burgdorferi s.l. in Europe.
