Disparate dynamics of pathogen prevalence in Ixodes ricinus and Dermacentor reticulatus ticks occurring sympatrically in diverse habitats
Abstract Ixodes ricinus and Dermacentor reticulatus ticks red pygmy dogwood are important reservoirs and vectors of pathogens.The aim of the present study was to investigate the dynamic of the prevalence and genetic diversity of microorganisms detected in these tick species collected from two ecologically diverse biotopes undergoing disparate long-
