The Neotropical biogeographical region encompasses a wide variety of ecosystems that support one of the most biodiverse regions in the world, which includes different types of tick-host interactions. There is c
Prominent examples are the recent introduction of H. marginatus and H. rufipes into Germany [16, 19, 20] and Sweden [17]. Migratory birds can disseminate their associated ticks and related pathogens over long distances and in areas where medium or large mammals’ access is limited [21, 22]...
Effects of climate and climate change on vectors and vector-borne diseases: Ticks are differ- ent. Trends Parasitol 2016; 32(8): 646-56.Ogden NH, Lindsay LR. 2016. Effects of climate and climate change on vectors and vector-borne diseases: ticks are different. Trends Parasitol. 2016;32:...
Zoonoses are infectious diseases caused by pathogens that are naturally transmissible between vertebrate animals and humans and, with over 200 known types, represent an increasingly important and widespread threat to global health [1,2]. For instance, in Europe the first and second most reported zoon...
Finally, it was expected that pairwise relatedness among ticks within nest boxes depends on their developmental stage, because ticks have a single opportunity to disperse with every feeding bout. More specifically, it was expected that, on average, the relatedness of pairs of individuals that have...
Hence, tick species with different ecological requirements employ different detachment strategies, even if they infest the same host species (Heylen and Matthysen, 2010). Endophilic ticks remain hidden close to their hosts’ nest or burrow and attach when the host arrives (Salman and Tarrés-Call...
Reversible inhibitors produce different types of inhibition depending on whether they bind to the enzyme, the enzyme-substrate complex, or both.

The prediction outcome (Prediction Y) is a forecast of days in hospital for the year 2013, and is later compared to the actual days in hospital in 2013. The ticks with dates are the borders of each bin. In the sub-plot of the quarterly model, these dates (first day in a month) ...
Ticks and tick-borne pathogens are associated with rodent host diversity, predator diversity, and abiotic factors. However, it is still unknown what factors helminths are associated with on the community level. Understanding the mechanisms that influence co-infections of multiple types of parasites ...
