Transmission dynamics of Borrelia burgdorferi s.l. in a bird tick community.

Environmental microbiology - 1 Feb 2013

Abstract excerpt

We examined the Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato circulation in a tick community consisting of three species (Ixodes ricinus, I. frontalis, I. arboricola) with contrasting ecologies, but sharing two European songbird hosts (Parus major and Cyanistes caeruleus). Parus major had the highest infestation rates, primarily due to larger numbers of I. ricinus, and probably because of their greater low-level foraging. The...
