The importance of Ixodes ricinus in the transmission of tick-borne pathogens is well recognized in the UnitedKingdom and across Europe. However, the role of coexisting Ixodes species, such as the widely distributedspecies Ixodes trianguliceps, as alternative vectors for these pathogens has received little attention. This studyaimed to assess the relative importance of I. ricinus and I. trianguliceps in the transmission of Anaplasmaphagocytophilum and Babesia microti among United Kingdom field voles (Microtus agrestis), which serve asreservoir hosts for both pathogens. While all instars of I. trianguliceps feed exclusively on small mammals, I.ricinus adults feed primarily on larger hosts such as deer. The abundance of both tick species and p...
