Tick infestation on medium–large-sized mammalian hosts: are all equally suitable to Ixodes ricinus adults?
Abstract Background In Europe, the generalist tick, Ixodes ricinus, is the main vector of several tick-borne pathogens causing diseases in humans and livestock. Understanding how different species of hosts limit the tick population is crucial for management. In general, larger ectoparasites are expe...
