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 …

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 …

Lyme borreliosis (LB) is the most common arthropod-borne disease of humans in the

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 …

Ticks are becoming increasingly recognised as important vectors of pathogens in urban and

Ixodes ricinus ticks infected with Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato were numerous on the
edges of paths and roads in a recreational park in south-western Ireland. The abundance of …

The abundance of the tick Ixodes ricinus (L.) and the infection rate of ticks with Borrelia
burgdorferi (Johnson et al.) were compared on either side of a deer fence in a forest park in …

In the UK, cases of Lyme disease have only been reported from rural areas. Recently,
however, Ixodes ticks infected with Borrelia burgdorferi have been found in London parks …
