Pathogens vectored by the tick, Dermacentor reticulatus, in endemic regions and zones of expansion in Poland
Conclusions:
Our study found significant differences between the range and prevalence of vectored pathogens in D. reticulatus from the endemic areas and newly inhabited expansion zones. The differences were likely associated with the different time of settlement or ‘source’ of ticks populations, the Eastern and the Western one.
