• 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 ...

• Predicting habitat suitability for Ixodes ricinus and Ixodes persulcatus ticks in Finland 

  Uusitalo, Ruut; Siljander, Mika; Lindén, Andreas; Sormunen, Jani J.; Aalto, Juha; Hendrickx, Guy; Kallio, Eva; Vajda, Andrea; Gregow, Hilppa; Henttonen, Heikki; Marsboom, Cedric; Korhonen, Essi M.; Sironen, Tarja; Pellikka, Petri; Vapalahti, Olli (Biomed Central, 2022)

  Background Ticks are responsible for transmitting several notable pathogens worldwide. Finland lies in a zone where two human-biting tick species co-occur: Ixodes ricinus and Ixodes persulcatus. Tick densities have increased ...

• 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 ...

• Genomic signatures of hybridization between Ixodes ricinus and Ixodes persulcatus in natural populations 

  Alale, Theophilus Yaw; Sormunen, Jani J.; Vesterinen, Eero J.; Klemola, Tero; Knott, K. Emily; Baltazar‐Soares, Miguel (Wiley, 2024)

  Identifying hybridization between common pathogen vectors is essential due to the major public health implications through risks associated with hybrid's enhanced pathogen transmission potential. The hard-ticks Ixodes ...

• Identifying breeding hosts of Ixodes ricinus ticks using stable isotope analysis of their larvae : Proof of concept 

  Sipari, Saana; Kiljunen, Mikko; Nylund, Minna; Kallio, Eva R. (Elsevier, 2024)

  Ticks are important vectors of zoonotic pathogens. Ticks are parasites that are dependent on their hosts for blood meal to develop and reproduce. The abundance of ticks is dependent on the availability of suitable breeding ...
