SEX-BIASED GENETIC STRUCTURE IN THE VECTOR OF LYME DISEASE, IXODES RICINUS

We analyzed 725 Ixodes ricinus ticks (the principal vector of Lyme disease in Europe) collected in Switzerland in 1995 and 1996 (three and eight samples, respectively) and in Tunisia in 1996 (one sample) with five microsatellite markers. We found highly significant genetic differentiation between Sw...
