Article Synopsis
- Lyme borreliosis, transmitted by Ixodes ticks, is the most common zoonotic disease in the northern hemisphere, and a study was conducted in northeastern France from 2020 to 2022 to understand the factors influencing tick presence in private yards.
- Citizen scientists collected ticks and assessed various yard and landscape features to determine their association with tick occurrences, particularly focused on the nymph stage of the Ixodes ricinus tick that primarily bites humans.
- The study found that ticks were present in 32% of yards, with higher nymph presence in shaded areas and increased likelihood in yards with deer signs and brush piles, highlighting the need for public awareness about tick exposure in urban environments.
We used a compiled data set from a monitoring network of oyster production coordinated by IFREMER (the French Research Institute for the Exploitation of the Sea). This network monitors the growth and mortality of the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas along French coasts since 1993. The archive, although publicly available, has been challenging to use due to changes in protocols and little information on metadata.
