Coordinator : Karen McCoy.
Working Group "Ticks and tick-borne diseases" was created in September 2004. It now includes 38 members of nine research institutes (INRA, CNRS, CIRAD, Institut Pasteur, IRD, Tour du Valat, Ecole Vétérinaire de Maison -Alfort, Bourgogne University, University of Rennes) and the veterinary doctors in office.

The focus group members can be broadly grouped into two broad themes:
  • Ticks of the Ixodes ricinus complex and those of complex I. uriae and they transmit diseases, including Lyme borreliosis.
  • Ticks tropical and emerging diseases potentially transmitted or transmitted (heartwater, African swine fever, West Nile).
