Reliability of molecular host-identification methods for ticks: an experimental in vitro study with Ixodes ricinus

BACKGROUND: Reliable information on host use by arthropod vectors is required to study pathogen transmission ecology and to predict disease risk. Direct observation of host use is often difficult or impossible and indirect methods are therefore necessary. However, the reliability of currently availa...
