Monitorización de garrapatas de la vegetación de Asturias: Fichas 2024

Abstract

Records of each of the 35 routes carried out in 2024 at different locations in Asturias to monitor vegetation tick populations using the dragging technique (Sonenshine, 1993). This information is epidemiologically relevant as it describes in detail the sampled areas (GPS coordinates, distance, and landscape type), the captures obtained and their classification by genus, species, and stage, in addition to other climatic, vegetation, and fauna data at the time of sampling. Ultimately, the aim is to establish in which areas of the region their abundance index is highest and, therefore, the risk of being bitten by these parasites, both by humans and animals.
