Article Synopsis
- * Researchers collected 846 ticks from various environments and found a 6.2% overall infection rate of TBRFGB, identifying specific species such as Borrelia miyamotoi and Borrelia anserina in certain tick species.
- * Additionally, a serological analysis of 42 patients with unexplained fevers showed that 10% had antibodies indicating possible recent infections with B. miyamotoi, highlighting the potential risk of these pathogens in the region.
Recreational hazard: Vegetation and host habitat use correlate with changes in tick-borne disease hazard at infrastructure within forest stands.

Article Synopsis
- Research indicates that vegetation and local host communities heavily influence the density and disease risk of Ixodes ricinus ticks in green spaces, yet micro-geographic variation remains less understood.
- The study measured various factors such as nymphal density, infection rates, and the presence of different pathogens in relation to recreational forest infrastructure using methods like vegetation surveys and tick pathogen screening.
- Results showed that tick density was highest in forest interiors, with lower disease risk near forest edges, and highlighted the importance of vegetation cover and local wildlife in influencing tick behavior and pathogen prevalence.
Study on Hard and Soft Ticks of Domestic and Wild Animals in Western Iran.

Department of Medical Entomology and Vector Control, School of Public Health, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran.
Background: Ticks are blood-sucking ectoparasites of many vertebrates and act as vectors of a wide range of vector-borne diseases. Alongside pathogens transmission, ticks also cause economic losses in animal industry such as production loss, physical damage, anemia, and poisoning. This study aimed to determine the fauna, geographical distribution and seasonal activity of ticks collected from animals in Lorestan Province, west of Iran.

Tick-radar GmbH, Berlin, Germany.
A high-resolution city map showing the geographic distribution of 12 tick species (Acari: Argasidae, Ixodidae) that have been recorded from the metropolitan area of Berlin, Germany is presented. A total of 237 tick locations was mapped. These include ten ixodid tick species: Dermacentor reticulatus, Haemaphysalis concinna, Hyalomma rufipes, Ixodes ricinus, Ixodes canisuga, Ixodes hexagonus, Ixodes arboricola, Ixodes frontalis, Ixodes trianguliceps and Rhipicephalus sanguineus sensu lato.

Complement has been considered as an important factor impacting the host-pathogen association of spirochetes belonging to the Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato complex, and may play a role in the spirochete's ecology. Birds are known to be important hosts for ticks and in the maintenance of borreliae. Recent field surveys and laboratory transmission studies indicated that certain avian species act as reservoir hosts for different Borrelia species.
