Abiotic predictors and annual seasonal dynamics of Ixodes ricinus, the major disease vector of Central Europe.

Keywords : tick-borne encephalitis * burgdorferi sensu-lato * host-seeking activity * borrelia-burgdorferi * climate-change * sheep tick * virus * transmission * pathogens * abundance * Tick * Ixodes ricinus * Co-occurrence * Temperature * Daylight length * Extreme weather event
Impact factor: 3.234, year: 2015
Background: Abiotic conditions provide cues that drive tick questing activity. Defining these cues is critical in predicting biting risk, and in forecasting climate change impacts on tick populations. This is particularly important for Ixodes ricinus nymphs, the vector of numerous pathogens affecting humans.
