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 considerable information on the ecology of ticks in this region, in particular seasonality an...
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]...
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) ...
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...
Savannah ecosystems extend across tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Continuous herbaceous layers, usually dominated by grasses or sedges, and a discontinuous layer of trees and/or shrubs, as well as a deep seasonality, characterize these ecosystems and their functioning1,2. Humans have...
The results highlight how host community composition and density affect the behavior of tick populations, leading to changes in the transmission dynamics between ticks and their hosts. A noteworthy finding from our model framework is the capacity for varying host infection rates within a single host...
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...
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 a higher sum of past feeding bouts is lower than that...

Reversible inhibitors produce different types of inhibition depending on whether they bind to the enzyme, the enzyme-substrate complex, or both.
