Seasonal and diel environment effects on host-seeking behaviour in the European tick vector, <i>Ixodes ricinus</i>

2025-11-07

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Patterns of arthropod vector abundance and activity are key determinants of biting risk, and thus the risk of vector-borne pathogen transmission. Ticks are important vectors of animal and human pathogens worldwide. Their host-seeking activity (questing) directly influences the risk of exposure to ticks and their pathogens, but the drivers of this behaviour are poorly understood. <h4>Methods</h...
