Article Synopsis
- Wildlife ungulate populations in Europe have shifted recently, which may affect the life cycles of ticks and the spread of tick-borne diseases.
- Researchers studied the effects of five ungulate species on tick presence and abundance by collecting data in south-central Sweden during the summer of 2019.
- Findings showed no significant links between vegetation height, ungulate visitation, and tick counts, but a negative correlation was observed between adult tick numbers and lower air temperatures, indicating future research is needed to explore these relationships in greater depth.
Salmonella spp. infections in animals are a concern due to their zoonotic nature, welfare effects and economic impact on the livestock industry. To enable targeted surveillance, it is important to identify risk factors for the introduction of Salmonella spp.

The utilization of force plates, characterized by their cost-effectiveness and portability, facilitates the integration of instrumentation into the BESS protocol. Despite the enhanced precision associated with instrumented measures, there remains a need to determine the clinical significance and feasibility of such measures within pediatric cohorts.

Such changes may also indirectly influence other species in the community, such as small mammals and birds, because deer can have strong effects on their habitats and resources. Deer, small mammals and birds play an important role in the dynamics of tick-borne zoonotic diseases.

- * There was a significant 50% drop in mTBI cases during the lockdown, with a noticeable rise in incidents related to falls at home and an increase in hospital admissions for more severe cases.
- * The findings suggest that the overall decrease in mTBI presentations was likely influenced by reduced accidents during lockdown and reluctance of families to seek care for minor injuries due to fears about infection.
