| [distribution and epidemiological value of rhipicephalus turanicus. ecology of the species in the south-mediterranean part of france (author's transl)]. | following a study of potential vectors of the boutonneuse fever in the lower rhône valley, the authors summarize knowledge concerning rh. turanicus (biogeography, hosts, seasonal dynamics). using their own work, they emphasize its distribution and ecology in the french mediterranean region: as an exophile species, frequently encountered because of the rich variety of its hosts (domestic and wild) and its adaptability to numerous human biotopes, it probably has a very significant epidemiological ... | 1981 | 7332198 |
| mathematical modelling of the impact of climatic conditions in france on rhipicephalus sanguineus tick activity and density since 1960. | rhipicephalus sanguineus, the brown dog tick, has a worldwide distribution in areas with a relatively warm climate, including mild winters. this tick plays an important role as vector for various animal and human pathogens, including bacteria and protozoa. based on precise daily meteorological data from the past 40 years, combined with mathematical modelling designed to predict tick activity, two modelling approaches were developed. the first examined the evolution of the number of weeks with fa ... | 2011 | 21590676 |
