Dermacentor reticulatus ticks are one of the most important vectors and reservoirs of tick-
borne pathogens in Europe. Changes in the abundance and range of this species have …

Dermacentor reticulatus, the ornate cow tick, is second only to Ixodes ricinus as the most
important reservoir and vector of infectious diseases in Europe. In recent years, the …

This paper presents the unexpected winter activity of Dermacentor reticulatus (Fabricius,
1794) ticks in a newly emerging population in south-west Poland. Host-seeking ticks were …

Rapid expansion of the tick Dermacentor reticulatus (Fabricius) has been reported in many
European countries. In Poland its range was limited to the area on the eastern side of the …

Abstract Changes in tick distribution and abundance are among the main drivers of the (re)
emergence of transmitted pathogens. We aimed to uncover the reasons of the reported …

The range of D. reticulatus is discontinuous in Europe, with a gap between the Western and
Eastern European populations. Recent studies have shown, however, a decrease in the gap …

Abstract Background Two populations of Dermacentor reticulatus ticks (Western and
Eastern) in Poland are among the most dynamic tick populations in Central Europe …

Dermacentor reticulatus ticks, one of the most important vectors and reservoirs of tick-borne
diseases in Europe, are widespread in the temperate climate zone and in some localities in …

Background The host-seeking activity in Dermacentor reticulatus ticks undergoes rhythmical
changes correlated with environmental conditions. Therefore, this study is focused on …

In recent years, significant changes have been observed in the distribution and abundance
of local Dermacentor reticulatus populations. However, changes in D. reticulatus dynamics …
