Borrelia spp. and Anaplasma phagocytophilum in ruminant ticks – Borrelia prevalence declines only in female, but not nymphal ticks feeding on cervids

Borrelia spp. and Anaplasma phagocytophilum in ruminant ticks – Borrelia prevalence declines only in female, but not nymphal ticks feeding on cervids

Tick-borne pathogen epidemiology involves vectors, in Europe mainly Ixodes ricinus, and vertebrate hosts. Ruminants are reservoirs for Anaplasma phagocytophilum, but not for Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (s.l.), possibly clearing the infection from ticks. However, such clearance is epidemiological...
