During the spring months from 2017 to 2019, 1,357 specimens of <jats:italic>Ixodes ricinus<\/jats:italic> ticks were collected at 9 localities in the vicinity of Novi Sad (Serbia). The number of collected ticks varied considerably among the different sampling sites and years. Also, a statistically significant difference was found between months and observed number of ticks for each stadium. By statistical analysis of tick activity depending on microclimatic conditions, a positive and statistically significant relationship between temperature and the number of ticks for each life stage was established, but not for humidity. Dew had a statistically significant impact only on nymphs but not on adults. The infection rate of <jats:italic>Borrelia burgdorferi<\/jats:italic> s.l. was the highest in March (46.5\u201351.2%) and the lowest in May (32.9\u201334.8%). The highest prevalence was detected in males and the lowest in nymphs. Since there is a positive and statistically significant correlation between tick number and prevalence, the ability to provide weather-based predictions of the seasonal patterns of current tick activity is important for the risk assessment of TBDs such as Lyme borreliosis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1556\/004.2021.00056","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,6]],"date-time":"2022-02-06T08:36:37Z","timestamp":1644136597000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1556\/policypage.crossmark.crossref.1","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Ecology and prevalence of Borrelia burgdorferi s.l. in Ixodes ricinus (Acari: Ixodidae) ticks"],"prefix":"10.1556","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0929-8865","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Ivana","family":"Ivanovi\u0107","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Novi Sad, Faculty of Agriculture, Trg Dositeja Obradovi\u0107a 8, 21000, Novi Sad, Serbia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marina \u017deki\u0107","family":"Sto\u0161i\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Scientific Veterinary Institute \u2018Novi Sad\u2019, Novi Sad, Serbia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Eva Ru\u017ei\u0107","family":"Sablji\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory for Diagnostics of Borreliosis and Leptospirosis, Institute of Microbiology and Immunology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Ljubljana, Ljubljana, Slovenia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tja\u0161a Cerar","family":"Ki\u0161ek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory for Diagnostics of Borreliosis and Leptospirosis, Institute of Microbiology and Immunology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Ljubljana, Ljubljana, Slovenia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Vesna Cvitkovi\u0107","family":"\u0160pik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory for Diagnostics of Borreliosis and Leptospirosis, Institute of Microbiology and Immunology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Ljubljana, Ljubljana, Slovenia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Aleksandra","family":"Popovi\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Novi Sad, Faculty of Agriculture, Trg Dositeja Obradovi\u0107a 8, 21000, Novi Sad, Serbia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sara","family":"Savi\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Scientific Veterinary Institute \u2018Novi Sad\u2019, Novi Sad, Serbia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"425","reference":[{"key":"ref31","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"115","DOI":"10.1007\/s10493-016-0099-1","article-title":"Influence of the spatial heterogeneity in tick abundance in the modeling of the seasonal activity of Ixodes ricinus nymphs in Western Europe","volume":"71","author":"Cat","year":"2017","journal-title":"Exp.
