Our new paper on the effect of historic climate change on the population dynamics of Ixodes ricinus published in @royalsociety.org. Led by Dom Brass, Steven White, Sarah Burthe, Steffi Schafer and Beth Purse, and funded by the NERC TickSolve project. @ukceh.bsky.social doi.org/10.1098/rsif...

New preprint: socioeconomics & Lyme disease Using data from Glasgow, we found that more advantaged neighbourhoods had higher Lyme disease incidence, partly explained by greater woodland cover. Heavily used park also had lower tick densities. @sbohvm.gla.ac.uk www.medrxiv.org/content/10.6...

New paper out! We used structural equation modelling to investigate spatio-temporal drivers of #ticks and #Lymedisease hazard in urban greenspaces and rural woodland. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... @sbohvm.gla.ac.uk

🚀 New Launch: #VBD Hub Forum on Vector-Borne Diseases - a new space for researchers, public health professionals, clinicians, policymakers, and practitioners to connect and collaborate on #vector-borne diseases in the UK. 🦟🪰🕷️ 👉 Join the conversation and introduce yourself: forum.vbdhub.org

Exciting 4-yr Postdoc opportunity on our new project (DRIVERS): Identifying drivers of #schistosomiasis treatment failure & recommendations for treatment strategies. PDRA will analyse individual-level factors behind poor efficacy & reinfection. www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/43... Apply by 26 Jan.

New paper out! We used structural equation modelling to quantify how deer affect Lyme disease hazard, both directly and indirectly via vegetation and rodents. doi.org/10.1016/j.tt... #LymeDisease #DiseaseEcology #Ticks @sbohvm.gla.ac.uk

Do you want to know why some cities have more ticks in their urban greenspaces than others? Read our newest study to find out! www.nature.com/articles/s44... You can also read our blog post describing our findings! communities.springernature.com/posts/why-do... #Ticks #LymeDisease #UrbanEcology

🚨 New paper 🚨 How does livestock grazing impact tick-borne disease hazard? Our new study in the New Forest National Park used a paired experiment to find out. Important for #rewilding and #conservation grazing schemes! #Ticks #LymeDisease @ukhsa.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

🚨New paper out! We surveyed 84 sites across 36 recreational areas in England and Wales and assessed tick density and Lyme disease hazard in 2021-2023. #LymeDisease #Ticks #Ecology @ukhsa.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
