Abstract excerpt
Understanding how vector population structure influences pathogen circulation remains a major challenge in tick-borne disease ecology, particularly in biogeographically transitional regions. Dermacentor reticulatus, a widespread Palearctic tick species and vector of multiple pathogens, provides a useful system to investigate this relationship in a biogeographically complex landscape. Here, we combined...
