• Eco-epidemiology of tick- and rodent-borne pathogens in boreal forests 

  Cayol, Claire (University of Jyväskylä, 2017)

  Infectious diseases are amongst the ten major causes of human mortality worldwide, 60% of them being animal-borne. Variations of abiotic and biotic conditions are likely to modify the transmission of parasites and ...

• Monitoring of ticks and tick-borne pathogens through a nationwide research station network in Finland 

  Sormunen, Jani J.; Andersson, Tommi; Aspi, Jouni; Bäck, Jaana; Cederberg, Tony; Haavisto, Noora; Halonen, Hanna; Hänninen, Jari; Inkinen, Jasmin; Kulha, Niko; Laaksonen, Maija; Loehr, John; Mäkelä, Satu; Mäkinen, Katja; Norkko, Joanna; Paavola, Riku; Pajala, Pauliina; Petäjä, Tuukka; Puisto, Anna; Sippola, Ella; Snickars, Martin; Sundell, Janne; Tanski, Niko; Uotila, Antti; Vesilahti, Ella-Maria; Vesterinen, Eero J.; Vuorenmaa, Silja; Ylönen, Hannu; Ylönen, Jari; Klemola, Tero (Elsevier, 2020)

  In 2015 a long-term, nationwide tick and tick-borne pathogen (TBP) monitoring project was started by the Finnish Tick Project and the Finnish Research Station network (RESTAT), with the goal of producing temporally and ...

• Sympatric Ixodes-tick species : pattern of distribution and pathogen transmission within wild rodent populations 

  Cayol, Claire; Jääskeläinen, Anu; Koskela, Esa; Kyröläinen, Sami; Mappes, Tapio; Siukkola, Anja; Kallio, Eva (Nature Publishing Group, 2018)

  The generalist tick Ixodes ricinus is the most important vector for tick-borne pathogens (TBP), including Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, in Europe. However, the involvement of other sympatric Ixodes ticks, such as the ...

• Rodent host population dynamics drive zoonotic Lyme Borreliosis and Orthohantavirus infections in humans in Northern Europe 

  Aminikhah, Mahdi; Forsman, Jukka T.; Koskela, Esa; Mappes, Tapio; Sane, Jussi; Ollgren, Jukka; Kivelä, Sami M.; Kallio, Eva R. (Nature Publishing Group, 2021)

  Zoonotic diseases, caused by pathogens transmitted between other vertebrate animals and humans, pose a major risk to human health. Rodents are important reservoir hosts for many zoonotic pathogens, and rodent population ...

• Borrelia afzelii alters reproductive success in a rodent host 

  Cayol, Claire; Giermek, Anna; Gomez-Chamorro, Andrea; Hytönen, Jukka; Kallio, Eva; Mappes, Tapio; Salo, Jemiina; Voordouw, Maarten Jeroen; Koskela, Esa (The Royal Society Publishing, 2018)

  The impact of a pathogen on the fitness and behaviour of its natural host depends upon the host–parasite relationship in a given set of environmental conditions. Here, we experimentally investigated the effects of Borrelia ...
