Description
Sezim Monoldorova and co-authors tracked ticks and the germs they carry across the seasons in Korea for this 2024 study. Tick-borne diseases burden both public health and livestock, and their spread follows the yearly rise and fall of tick numbers. The team collected ticks in Gangwon State and tested them for four groups of germs that cause disease in people and animals.
In all they gathered close to fifteen thousand ticks from three species, with one species making up most of the catch. Tests found Theileria most often, with Borrelia and Anaplasma in fewer pools. Young ticks peaked in May and June, adults in June and July, and larvae in September. Germ finds peaked in July and September, matching the pattern of human Lyme disease cases.
