Pilot project: "Co-infections of tick-borne pathogens - their associations with reservoir hosts and habitats"
The Common Woodbuck Ixodes ricinus can transmit a variety of human pathogens. These ticks are often not only infected by one pathogen, but can also harbour several co-infecting pathogens at the same time. The aim of the project was to identify potential animal groups as reservoir hosts for Neoehrlichia mikurensis and Anaplasma phagocytophilum based on the knowledge of host animal associations of...
