“…The seasonal synchronization of nymphal and larval feeding patterns was found in Ixodes scapularis populations in the Midwestern United States. Investigations into the infection pattern of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato indicated that lineages carrying 16S-23S rRNA intergenic spacer restriction fragment lead to lengthen the polymorphism sequence of type 1 which is more commonly identified in Northeastern Ixodes populations (Paulauskas 2023).…”

Lyme disease is an infection caused by bacteria known as Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, is the most widespread vector-borne disease in the United States, and transmitted to human beings through the bite of Ixodes tick. However, significant portion (10-30%) individuals may experience ancillary nonspecific symptoms that last months after the completion of therapy. The group of symptoms known as post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome (PTLDS), a form of the more general term "chronic Lyme disease," includes tiredness, cognitive impairment, and musculoskeletal discomfort. These symptoms are linked to disability and last longer than six months. Patients with nonspecific symptoms assumed to be caused by a supposed persistent Borrelia burgdorferi infection and may or may not exhibit signs of Lyme disease are referred to as having chronic Lyme disease. The diagnosis of PTLDS and chronic Lyme disease has become more and more important in immunologists' practices because it is difficult to diagnose. ELISA and western blot testing are useful in diagnosing Lyme disease. The cornerstone of care is still antibiotic therapy. This chapter reviews the evidence that supports current understanding of the life cycle, historical biogeography, and evolution of Ixodes spp., the ticks that carry the Lyme disease, as well as their methods of dispersal, and disease-transmission mechanisms, and the efficacy of vector control interventions.

This expansion made the golden jackal one of the most abundant carnivore species with a population size estimated to be between 97,000 and 117,000 individuals in Europe (Ranc et al, 2019).…”

Golden jackal, a natural disperser or an invasive alien species in Slovakia? A summary within European context

2020

This summary provides an overview of the golden jackal (Canis aureus) categorization in Europe with particular focus on its presence in Slovakia. The distribution range of this species in Europe has been expanding in recent decades. Currently, European population is in constant and fast increase, widening their ranges towards Central and Eastern Europe and more recently in some western countries. All over Europe, the categorization of the golden jackal status is discussed with some controversial. A recent genetic study helped to determine that golden jackals do not meet the established three criteria, which categorize a species as an invasive alien species. In Slovakia, golden jackals’ numbers grown considerably in the last decade and with an increasing of their distribution through the country it became a permanent species of the Slovak fauna. The only internal status is the hunting Act no. 274/2009, which classifies it as, game species. The fast adaptation and dispersion through Slovakia can be considered similar to the behaviour of an invasive species, as suggested in previous studies in Hungary. Based on widely accepted definitions, agreed under international legal instruments, it is quite clear that the term ‘Invasive Alien Species’ only encompasses non-native species specifically introduced by humans (intentionally or accidentally). Following this Invasive Alien Species terminology, golden jackals cannot be categorized as such in Slovakia. The natural expansion, the growing ranges, and the increase in numbers of the golden jackal in Slovakia in the last decades points to a need to improve the knowledge of the species.

“…The golden jackal has been recorded as far as in northern Norway (Sørensen & Lindsø 2021). The species was for the first time recorded in Estonia in 2011, in Latvia in 2013 and in Lithuania in 2015 (Paulauskas et al 2018). The migrating individuals have already reached western Europe and the species appeared in Denmark in 2015 (Tillmann 2020), the first record doi: 10.37520/lynx.2023.012 in the Netherlands was made in 2016 (van der Grift 2016).…”

The permanent breeding range of the golden jackal (Canis aureus) in Europe was restricted to the Black Sea coast and Balkans in the 1960s. From the 1980s, a rapid and steady increase of the species occurrence has been documented throughout Europe. The observations of single individuals prevail, the proofs of breeding family groups are much more scarce. Here we present the second evidence of golden jackal breeding in Central Bohemia (Czech Republic) which took place near Dlouhá Lhota, about 50 km south of Prague, in 2022. Photographic evidence of adults and two cubs was made with the help of camera traps.
