Mixed infection by tick‐borne encephalitis virus and Borrelia in ticks
Summary To investigate the relationships between tick‐borne encephalitis (TBE) virus and the bacterial spirochaete Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato in vectors with mixed infections, unfed adult Ixodes persulcatus ticks were collected by flagging from vegetation in southern‐taiga forests of the Pre‐Ur...
