Additional file 1: Figure S1. (a) The sampling strategy for new collections in 2021 was created based on the following criteria. Subdivisions of landscape areas (Area1–Area4), CORINE land cover 2018, a 5-km buffer around existing I. persulcatus occurrences (grey circles), and a 500-m buffer around roads were used to delimit the four sampling areas (light grey lines). For each sampling area, a random sample of 25 collection locations was created depending on the relative shares of forest and meadow categories in each area. (b) The map showing the 2021 results indicates the locations where I. ricinus was found with B. burgdorferi (s.l.)-positive locations.

Predicting habitat suitability for Ixodes ricinus and Ixodes persulcatus ticks in Finland
AbstractBackgroundTicks are responsible for transmitting several notable pathogens worldwide. Finland lies in a zone where two human-biting tick species co-occur:IxodesricinusandIxodespersulcatus. Tick densities have increased in boreal regions worldwide during past decades, and tick-borne pathogens have been identified as one of the major threats to public health in the face of climate change.MethodsWe used species distribution modelling techniques to predict the distributions ofI.ricinusandI.persulcatus,using aggregated historical data from 2014 to 2020 and new tick occurrence data from 2021. By aiming to fill the gaps in tick occurrence data, we created a new sampling strategy across Fin…

Intracerebral Borna disease virus infection of bank voles leading to peripheral spread and reverse transcription of viral RNA
Bornaviruses, which chronically infect many species, can cause severe neurological diseases in some animal species; their association with human neuropsychiatric disorders is, however, debatable. The epidemiology of Borna disease virus (BDV), as for other members of the family Bornaviridae, is largely unknown, although evidence exists for a reservoir in small mammals, for example bank voles (Myodes glareolus). In addition to the current exogenous infections and despite the fact that bornaviruses have an RNA genome, bornavirus sequences integrated into the genomes of several vertebrates millions of years ago. Our hypothesis is that the bank vole, a common wild rodent species in traditional B…
