Host in reserve: the role of common shrews (Sorex araneus) as a stable supplementary source of tick hosts in small mammal communities influenced by rodent population cycles

2021-10-21

Abstract excerpt

In recent decades, warming temperatures and changes in land use are supposed to have enabled several tick species to expand their distribution limit northwards. The progression of ticks to new areas may introduce new and emerging tick-borne pathogens as well as increase existing diseases. Aside from climatic conditions, ticks are dependent on hosts for survival, and rodents often act as important hosts for ticks a...
