Abundance of ticks in the Antwerp peri-urban area: policy recommendations for planning of ecological corridors in relation to urban green and health.
In this project we analyze previously collected field data on the abundance of ticks and prevalences of important pathogens. Ticks were collected in about 20 parks and forested areas in and around Antwerp. Based on the outcomes we make policy recommendations on how to deal with tick-borne health risks in an urban area.
