Abstract Synopsis

  • The study investigates how pathogen prevalence and genetic diversity differ between two tick species, Ixodes ricinus and Dermacentor reticulatus, across different habitats with varying long-term climate conditions.
  • D. reticulatus exhibited high infection rates of Francisella-like endosymbiont (FLE) and Rickettsia spp., while I. ricinus showed higher prevalence of Borreliaceae spirochetes, with some pathogens like Neoehrlichia mikurensis and Theileria spp. found only in specific habitats.
  • Ecological differences between habitats significantly influence the presence and diversity of tick-borne pathogens, with distinct patterns of co-infection and genetic variation observed in the two tick species across different environmental conditions.]
