Abiotic predictors and annual seasonal dynamics of Ixodes ricinus, the major disease vector of Central Europe

Abstract Background Abiotic conditions provide cues that drive tick questing activity. Defining these cues is critical in predicting biting risk, and in forecasting climate change impacts on tick populations. This is particularly important for Ixodes ricinus nymphs, the vector of numerous pathogens...
