Impact of Flag Texture on Tick Sampling Efficiency.

Conclusion: The flag made of MUC type fabric, thanks to its tight and relatively flat texture, facilitates detection and collection of ticks from its surface. The OX flag, due to its loose texture, is unsuitable for the quantitative sampling of larval Ixodes ricinus. PMID: 30918911 [PubMed]
