Currently observed markedly increased incidence of various tick borne diseases in many parts of Europe is due to documented climatic changes as well anthropogenic influence on habitat structure. One of the analyzed factors is tendency to increase of the spring temperatures, especially in the third decade of the April. Such conditions (spring temperatures above 7-10 degrees C) let the nymphs and larvae of Ixodes ricinus to feed simultaneously on rodents. This increases the risk of infection of Ixodes ricinus with TBE virus, so dangerous for humans.
目前在欧洲许多地区观察到的各种蜱传疾病发病率显著上升，是由于有记录的气候变化以及人类活动对栖息地结构的影响。分析的因素之一是春季气温有上升趋势，尤其是在四月的第三个十年。这样的条件（春季气温高于7 - 10摄氏度）使得蓖麻硬蜱的若虫和幼虫同时以啮齿动物为食。这增加了蓖麻硬蜱感染对人类危险的蜱传脑炎病毒的风险。
