Occurrence of Ticks and Tick-Borne Pathogens During Warm Winter—A Snapshot from Central Europe
The study indicates that hosts are exposed to tick attacks and TBPs infection in Central Europe at high temperatures in winter. The high activity of ticks may increase the incidence of tick-borne diseases in humans and companion animals. The record's importance indicates that practical preventive measures against TBPs should be taken due to weather conditions rather than the season.
