Mountain hares, louping-ill, red grouse and harvesting: complex interactions but few data
First paragraph: Our recent paper examined the impact of a large-scale field manipulation of mountain hare density on the dynamics of ticks, louping-ill and red grouse (Laurenson et al. 2003). We found that hares were an important host for ticks and for the transmission of louping-ill, and that tick...
