A recent study conducted by researchers from the University of Padua in Italy focused on the role of migrating birds in the spread of ticks and tick-borne pathogens (TBPs). The researchers collected ticks from birds during their autumn migration and identified the tick species and screened them for various TBPs. They found that 2.6% of passerine birds were infested with ticks, with the majority being Ixodes ricinus. The prevalence of TBPs varied, with Borrelia burgdorferi s.l. having the highest prevalence at 54.6%. The study highlights the importance of monitoring migrating birds as potential sources of pathogen dispersal. [Extracted from the article] |
