DOI: 10.1016/j.ttbdis.2018.09.006
Abstract: Ticks are the major arthropod vectors of animal and human pathogens in Europe; thus, information of tick species and their phenology allows identifying those areas and periods involving a high risk of exposure to particular… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ttbdis.2018.12.009
Abstract: Tick-borne diseases have a complex epidemiology that depends on different ecological communities, associating several species of vertebrate hosts, vectors and pathogens. While most studies in Europe are focused on Ixodes ricinus, the common sheep tick,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/mec.14094
Abstract: Ecological specialization to restricted diet niches is driven by obligate, and often maternally inherited, symbionts in many arthropod lineages. These heritable symbionts typically form evolutionarily stable associations with arthropods that can last for millions of… read more here.
