Does <i>Borrelia burgdorferi</i> sensu lato facilitate the colonisation of marginal habitats by <i>Ixodes ricinus</i> ? A correlative study in the Swiss Alps

2018-02-28

Abstract excerpt

Parasites can alter host and vector phenotype and thereby affect ecological processes in natural populations. Laboratory studies have shown that Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, the causative agent of human Lyme borreliosis, induces physiological alterations in its main tick vector in Europe, Ixodes ricinus , which increase its survival under challenging conditions. We hypothesise that these phenotypic alteratio...
