Brief Summary:
Ticks are blood-sucking arthropods that feed on vertebrate hosts Although wild and domestic animals are the primary source of tick blood meals humans can be an accidental host During a blood meal a microorganism can be transmitted to the host who can develop a disease All infectious diseases transmitted by ticks are referred to as tick-borne diseases TBDs They are the most prevalent vector-borne diseases in the Northern Hemisphere Among these diseases Lyme borreliosis is the most common
In Europe Lyme borreliosis does not cause high fevers 38C Therefore when a patient presents with a high fever with the notion of exposure to ticks another etiology must be suspected Anaplasma phagocytophilum and the tick-borne encephalitis virus are classically described as causing febrile syndromes
In France ticks and tick-borne diseases are increasing particularly those associated with the Ixodes ricinus tick This tick is mainly present in forest ecosystems with a peak of activity in May Foresters represent a population with biting ticks and tick-borne diseases notably Lyme borreliosis
