Spatial variation in detachment rates of larval Ixodes ricinus from a common host (Apodemus sylvaticus): an experiment.

Because of their low intrinsic mobility, spatial distribution of Ixodes ticks depends strongly on movement of their hosts, but this may be modulated by the tick's decision to detach in relation to environmental cues. This aspect of host-parasite inte…
