We further evaluated the effect of potential wildlife hosts (micro and meso\u2010mammals, and birds), habitat (agrarian and natural) and climate variables such as temperature and relative humidity, on the dynamics of the three stages. The activity of the adults of\n                    <jats:italic>R. hibericus<\/jats:italic>\n                    was detected from early spring to early summer. Questing tick abundance was higher in the natural than in the agrarian habitats. Captures revealed that adult ticks parasitized meso\u2010mammals in spring, while larvae and nymphs were found only in summer in the three dominant micromammals: the Algerian mouse (\n                    <jats:italic>Mus spretus<\/jats:italic>\n                    Lataste (Rodentia: Muridae)) (mean prevalence 52%), the wood mouse (\n                    <jats:italic>Apodemus sylvaticus<\/jats:italic>\n                    Linnaeus (Rodentia: Muridae)) (44%) and the greater white\u2010toothed shrew (\n                    <jats:italic>Crocidura russula<\/jats:italic>\n                    Hermann (Eulipotyphla: Soricidae)) (41%).
