Ixodes ricinus ticks in Trentino, Italy, carry Lyme disease, TBE virus, and Ehrlichiosis. High infection risk areas were identified using eco-epidemiological surveys and mathematical modeling for Borrelia burgdorferi and Anaplasma phagocytophila.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Entomology
  • Zoonotic Disease Ecology
  • Epidemiology

Context:

  • Ixodes ricinus ticks are vectors for significant zoonotic pathogens across Europe.
  • Lyme disease, Tick-Borne Encephalitis (TBE), and Human Granulocytic Ehrlichiosis are emerging threats.
  • Understanding pathogen distribution and transmission dynamics is crucial for public health.

Purpose:

  • To assess the spatial distribution and infection risk of key tick-borne pathogens in the Province of Trento.
  • To evaluate the prevalence of Borrelia burgdorferi s.l., TBE virus, and Anaplasma phagocytophila in ticks and wildlife reservoirs.
  • To model disease persistence under varying ecological conditions and host densities.

Summary:

  • Eco-epidemiological surveys and GIS mapping identified high-risk areas for tick presence.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Prevalence rates in Ixodes ricinus nymphs were 1.32% for B. burgdorferi s.l., 9.84% for A. phagocytophila, and 0.03% for TBE virus.
  • Wildlife reservoirs, including Apodemus flavicollis and Myodes glareolus, showed varying infection rates, with roe deer acting as a significant reservoir for A. phagocytophila.

    • Impact:

    • Identified specific areas with high infection risk for humans and animals.
    • Provided data for targeted surveillance and control strategies against tick-borne diseases.
    • Mathematical modeling elucidated factors influencing pathogen persistence, aiding in risk assessment and public health planning.
