Heterogeneity of Tick Abundance and Infection with Zoonotic Pathogenic Bacteria in a Belgian Peri-Urban Forest

2022-03-07

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> Forests are the primary habitats for Ixodes ricinus and harbor high tick populations, vectors of various pathogens. As such, they are often considered as a homogenous land cover harboring abundant tick populations. However, little is known about the heterogeneity in tick density within a peri-urban forest, where human exposure is high. The study aims to assess the micro-environmental factors...
