The risk of tick bite and Lyme borreliosis in a forested area in England with public access
was studied over a two-year period. Tick infestation levels were high with more than 1000 …

Tick abundances and prevalences of infection with Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, the
causative agent of Lyme disease, were investigated in four South London parks. A total of …

Understanding the variation in Borrelia burgdorferi sl infection rates in Ixodes ricinus ticks is
important for assessing the potential for Lyme borreliosis transmission. This study aimed to …

A comprehensive Lyme borreliosis risk assessment process was applied in S. Rossore
Estate, on the Tyrrhenian coast, near Pisa, Italy. Host-seeking Ixodes ricinus nymphs peaked …

Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (sl) is the causative agent of Lyme borreliosis, the most
common tick‐borne zoonosis of humans in Europe and North America. Here, we assessed …

Ticks are becoming increasingly recognised as important vectors of pathogens in urban and
peri-urban areas, including green space used for recreational activities. In the UK, the risk …

Acarological risk was calculated as the probability of encountering at least one host-seeking
Ixodes ricinus tick infected by the pathogen Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, in 100 m …

Assessing the risk of tick-borne disease in areas with high visitor numbers is important from
a public health perspective. Evidence suggests that tick presence, density, infection …

To define the role of birds as reservoirs and disseminators of Borrelia spirochetes, we
characterized tick infestation and reservoir competence of migratory passerine birds in …

Lyme borreliosis, an infection caused by the tick-borne spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi, is a
major health problem for populations in areas of endemicity in the Northern Hemisphere. In …
