   Sammanfattning : The spotted fever rickettsia, Rickettsia helvetica, is an endemic tick-borne bacteria in Sweden. It causes infections in humans, manifested as aneruptive fever, headache, arthralgia and myalgia, and sometimes an inoculation eschar or a rash. There have also been two known cases of human infections with R. felis in Sweden. LÄS MER

   Sammanfattning : Ticks and tick-borne diseases are ranking second only to mosquitoes as vectors of pathogens responsible for diseases in both humans and domestic animals. In the countries around the Baltic Sea, two medically important tick species are increasing both in range and abundance, and the public health threat posed by tick-borne diseases in this area is steadily growing.

7. 40. Ticking off the ungulate box : the role of different ungulate species in the transmission of tick-borne pathogens

   Författare :Nannet Fabri; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Sammanfattning : Ungulates play a central role in the life cycle of Ixodes ricinus, an important vector of tick-borne pathogens, and several ungulate species are increasingly common across Europe. I investigated the role of these different species in the spread of I. ricinus-borne pathogens. LÄS MER
