Do bank voles (Myodes glareolus) trapped in live and lethal traps show differences in tick burden?
De Pelsmaeker, Nicolas; Korslund, Lars; Steifetten, Øyvind (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)In studies assessing tick abundance, the use of live traps to capture and euthanize rodent hosts is a commonly used method to determine their burden. However, captive animals can experience debilitating or fatal capture ... -
High-elevational occurrence of two tick species, Ixodes ricinus and I. trianguliceps, at their northern distribution range
De Pelsmaeker, Nicolas; Korslund, Lars; Steifetten, Øyvind (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Background: During the last decades a northward and upward range shift has been observed among many organisms across different taxa. In the northern hemisphere, ticks have been observed to have increased their latitudinal ... -
Host in reserve: The role of common shrews (Sorex araneus) as a supplementary source of tick hosts in small mammal communities influenced by rodent population cycles
De Pelsmaeker, Nicolas; Korslund, Lars; Steifetten, Øyvind (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Rodents often act as important hosts for ticks and as pathogen reservoirs. At north -ern latitudes, rodents often undergo multi- annual population cycles, and the peri -odic absence of certain hosts may inhibit the survival ... -
Prevalence of tick-borne encephalitis virus in questing Ixodes ricinus nymphs in southern Scandinavia and the possible influence of meteorological factors
Lamsal, Alaka; Edgar, Kristin Skarsfjord; Jenkins, Andrew; Renssen, Hans; Kjær, Lene Jung; Alfsnes, Kristian; Bastakoti, Srijana; Dieseth, Malene Strøm; Klitgaard, Kirstine; Lindstedt, Heidi Elisabeth Heggen; Paulsen, Katrine Mørk; Vikse, Rose; Korslund, Lars; Kjelland, Vivian; Stuen, Snorre; Kjellander, Petter; Christensson, Madeleine; Teräväinen, Malin; Jensen, Laura Mark; Regmi, Manoj; Giri, Dhiraj; Marsteen, Leif; Bødker, René; Soleng, Arnulf; Andreassen, Åshild Kristine (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Ixodes ricinus ticks are Scandinavia's main vector for tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV), which infects many people annually. The aims of the present study were (i) to obtain information on the TBEV prevalence in ... -
Water chemistry, zooplankton and benthos in small lakes within the distribution area of the rare European pool frog Pelophylax lessonae (Camerano) in Norway
Lydersen, Espen; Holtan, Marijanne; Korslund, Lars; Raddum, Gunnar; Dolmen, Dag; Wærvågen, Svein Birger; Fjeld, Eirik (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)In June 2018, water chemistry, benthos and zooplankton were investigated in 7 small lakes/ponds within the key area of the European pool frog Pelophylax lessonae (Camerano) in Norway. The geographic distribution of the ...
