German Ixodes inopinatus samples may not actually represent this tick species

R. E. Rollins, G. Margos, A. Brachmann, S. Krebs, A. Mouchet, N. Dingemanse, A. Laatamna, N. Reghaissia, V. Fingerle, D. Metzler, N. S. Becker, L. Chitimia-Dobler

The study shows that German ticks morphologically identified as Ixodes inopinatus are genetically Ixodes ricinus, not I. inopinatus, and mitochondrial data alone cannot distinguish between the two species.

Phylogenomic diversity elucidates mechanistic insights into Lyme borreliae host association

M. A. Combs, A. L. Marcinkiewicz, A. P. Dupuis, A. D. Davis, P. Lederman, T. A. Nowak, J. L. Stout, K. Strle, V. Fingerle, G. Margos, A. T. Ciota, M. A. Diuk-Wasser, S.-O. Kolokotronis, Y.-P. Lin

This study investigates how genetic variation in Lyme disease-causing Borrelia burgdorferi strains relates to their ability to evade host complement immune responses, revealing host-specific complement-evasion phenotypes.

Tick infestation probability increases with human recreation and exploratory behaviour in great tits

R. E. Rollins, A. Mouchet, G. Margos, V. Fingerle, N. S. Becker, N. J. Dingemanse

The paper examines how exploratory behavior and human recreation influence tick infestation probability in great tits, finding that infestation likelihood increases with these factors while body condition negatively affects tick burden.
