Article Synopsis
- A study in Moldova from 2012 to 2015 examined 640 birds for tick infestations, revealing that 14.1% of the birds (93 total) hosted ticks, with a collection of 262 ticks across five species.
- The majority of the ticks (96%) were found in the nymph stage, and DNA testing indicated that 32.8% of the ticks were carriers of various pathogens, including Rickettsia and Borrelia species.
- This research contributes valuable data towards understanding tick-borne diseases in birds and highlights a geographical area where such epidemiological information has been previously limited.
