Add to ORKGthe specialist tick Ixodes trianguliceps on shrews and rodents in a northern forest ecosystem – a role of body size even among small hosts Atle Mysterud1*, Ragna Byrkjeland1, Lars Qviller1,2 and Hildegunn Viljugrein1,2 Background: Understanding aggregation of ticks on hosts and attachment of life stages to different host species, are central components for understanding tick-borne disease epidemiology. The generalist tick, Ixodes ricinus, is a well-known vector of Lyme borrelioses, while the specialist tick, Ixodes trianguliceps, feeding only on small mammals, may play a role in maintaining infection levels in hosts. In a northern forest in Norway, we aimed to quantify the role of different small mammal species in feeding ticks, to determin...
