questing ticks in suburban forest are infected by at least six tick-borne pathogens.	abstract the role of ixodes ricinus ticks in the transmission of pathogens of public health importance such as borrelia burgdorferi s.l. is widely recognized and is suspected in several emerging vector-borne pathogens in europe. here, we assess prevalence rates of several endemic and emerging zoonotic pathogens in tick populations in an area of high human population density in france, to contribute to a risk assessment for potential transmission to humans. pathogen prevalence rates were evaluate ...	2010	21158500
vector competence of the tick ixodes ricinus for transmission of bartonella birtlesii.	bartonella spp. are facultative intracellular vector-borne bacteria associated with several emerging diseases in humans and animals all over the world. the potential for involvement of ticks in transmission of bartonella spp. has been heartily debated for many years. however, most of the data supporting bartonellae transmission by ticks come from molecular and serological epidemiological surveys in humans and animals providing only indirect evidences without a direct proof of tick vector compete ...	2011	21655306
