I wonder how effective these guys would be against ticks...

Les lâchers massifs de Faisans de Colchide contribueraient à la propagation des bactéries responsables de la maladie de Lyme.
La probabilité que les tiques soient infectées était 2,45 fois plus élevée dans les bois avec lâchers !

Alors la période d'activité des tiques est maximale entre le printemps et l'automne, une étude a montré que les lâchers de faisans augmenteraient le nombre de ces arthropodes et donc la propagation des bactéries responsables de la maladie de Lyme.

In the Pskov region, a borreliosis tick bit into the eye of a six-year-old girl.

New genetic analysis of Lyme disease-causing bacteria could improve diagnosis and treatment A genetic analysis of Lyme disease bacteria may pave the way for improved diagnosis, treatment and prevention of the tick-borne ailment. https://phys.org/news/2024-08-genetic-analysis-lyme-disease-bacteria.html
Borrelia – Relapsing Fevers
#Bacteria, #Borrelia, #RelapsingFever #Bacteriology Several Borrelia sp. Are capable of causing epidemic or tick borne relapsing fever. These sp. Include B. duttoni, B. hermsii, B. parkeri and B. turicatae.…. Medical Microbiology & Recombinant DNA Technology (RDT) Labs | Read More -

Oh ffs. Just found another one..
And attached a photo (own work, some years ago) of what a #Lyme / #Borrelia infection looks like. Days to weeks after an infection (#tick bite) this circle can appear anywhere on the body (thus not only where the tickhole was). It will fade out in a day or two but that means the infection is in your body: go to your doctor and get antibiotics!
Someone mentioned #TBE as well. This is now endemic in many european regions. And there's a vaccin! Worth looking into.

Host factors may regulate acquisition of vector-borne pathogens during blood feeding. This study shows that the mammalian host adipocyte-derived hormone adiponectin alters acquisition of the Lyme disease agent by changing the level of inflammation at the site of the tick bite.
