  • Title: [Ticks--due to climatic changes, much more than just Ixodes ricinus, TBE and Lyme disease].
    Author: Voigt TF.
    Journal: Med Monatsschr Pharm; 2008 Jul; 31(7):240-6. PubMed ID: 18808072.
    Abstract:
    Ectoparasitic arthropodes, like ticks, confer numerous pathogenic bacterial and viral germs upon human beings and/or animals. Since these vectors are poikilothermic, there is a strong dependence on environmental conditions. Climatic as well as microclimatic conditions play a major role. Against this background, it can be anticipated that climatic changes also influence the bionomics of ticks and of the pathogens conferred by them.
