Laboratory of Molecular Ecology of Vectors and Pathogens

Laboratory of Molecular Ecology of Vectors and Pathogens

Characteristics

Our laboratory investigates the research of molecular and cellular factors of pathogen transmission by ticks. The research is focused primarily on Lyme disease spirochetes and the tick-borne encephalitis virus. We investigate their interaction with vector tick Ixodes ricinus at the molecular level, protein-carbohydrate interactions and glycemic profiles that affect the transmission of tick-borne pathogens and the immune response of ticks to pathogens. At present, it is also developing research on the molecular ecology and epidemiology of Lyme disease and tick-borne encephalitis using modern methods of diagnosis of these pathogens.
