Workshop on Ticks and Tick-Borne Diseases
From September 31 to October 2, 2014, the "Workshop on Ticks and Tick-Borne Diseases" took place at the Institute of Parasitology and Tropical Veterinary Medicine of Freie Universität Berlin. 78 scientists, including 9 international participants (Great Britain, Austria, Switzerland, Slovakia, Spain), participated in the workshop. The aim of the workshop was to bring together all aspects of tick research. This was made possible because the workshop was organized as a "Joint Meeting" by 4 partners: the German Society for Medical Entomology and Acarology (DGMEA), the National Reference Laboratory
