While overall prevalence of all haemoparasites combined and species richness remained stable over the period of study, the pattern of spatiotemporal changes in prevalence and abundance of infections differed depending on parasite species.

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE
It is easier and non-invasive to obtain faecal samples compared with blood samples. Molecular techniques may enable detection of parasites even in tiny amounts of…

The role of juvenile Dermacentor reticulatus ticks as vectors of microorganisms and the problem of ‘meal contamination’
- Dorota Dwużnik, E. Mierzejewska, A. Bajer
- Biology, Environmental ScienceExperimental & applied acarology
- 22 May 2019
Evaluating the extent of contamination while studying feeding ticks collected from rodents demonstrated that ‘meal contamination’ generates a confounding signal in molecular detection of pathogen DNA extracted from ticks Collecting from infected ticks and must be taken into account in evaluating the competence of tick species as vectors.
