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 !

Les lâchers de Faisans de Colchide contribueraient à la propagation des bactéries responsables de la maladie de Lyme | Ornithomedia.com

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.

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.

They’re hard to spot, they’re hungry and they’re spreading disease from the Highlands to urban parks: a special report on the increasing threat posed by ticks

Host factors may influence whether vectors pick up pathogens when feeding. @Xiaotian_Tang18 &co show that mammalian host #adiponectin alters acquisition of #LymeDisease agent #Borrelia by changing level of inflammation at site of tick bite #PLOSBiology https://plos.io/46Xt1SU
Adiponectin in the mammalian host influences ticks’ acquisition of the Lyme disease pathogen Borrelia

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.
