- This review covers the geographic distribution and host relationships of the tick species in Sweden. Ixodes uriae White, I. caledonicus Nuttall, I. unicavatus Neumann, I. arboricola Schulze & Schlottke, and I. lividus Koch are ornithophagous species. I. trianguliceps Birula, I. canisuga Johnston, I. hexagonus Leach, and Argas vespertilionis (Latreille) are mammalophagous. I. ricinus (L.) and Haemaphysalis punctata Canestrini & Fanzago feed on both birds and mammals. All these tick species may be considered to be permanently present in Sweden. I. persulcatus Schulze, Hyalomma marginatum Koch, and the brown dog tick, Rhipicephalus sanguineus (Latreille), may be regarded as not indigenous to Sweden although they may be regularly introduced by spring-migrating birds or imported dogs, respectively. The first European record of the American dog tick, Dermacentor variabilis (Say), is reported. There are several records of Hyalomma aegyptium (L.) from imported tortoises in Sweden. Excluding other ticks imported on exotic pets and zoo animals, another 13 tick species are listed that may occur, at least occasionally, in Sweden. Because of its wide geographic distribution, great abundance, and wide host range, I. ricinus is medically the most important arthropod in northern Europe. I. ricinus is common in southern and south-central Sweden and along the coast of northern Sweden and has been recorded from 29 mammal species, 56 bird species, and two species of lizards in Sweden alone. The potential introduction to Sweden of exotic pathogens with infected ticks (e.g., I. persulcatus and H. marginatum on birds or Dermacentor spp. and R. sanguineus on mammals) is evident.

The ecology of lyme borreliosis in Sweden
- 1994. - 1

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The geographical distribution of Lyme borreliosis (Lb) in the North European countries appears to coincide with the geographical distribution of the principal vector, the common tick Ixodes ricinus. We have found that in Sweden this tick species occurs in the southern and south-central parts of the country and along the coast of northern Sweden. This area corresponds with the distributional area of Lyme borreliosis. I. ricinus, and thus also Borrelia burgdorferi s.l., are in general not present in the interior of North Sweden, presumably because the climate is too harsh for the vector.

High pressure studies up to 50 GPa of Bi-based high-Tc superconductors
- 1991
-
Ingår i: Physica Scripta. - : IOP Publishing. - 0031-8949 .- 1402-4896. ; 44:2, s. 211-213

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The high-Tc superconductor with nominal composition BiSrCaCu2Ox has been studied at high pressure, i.e. up to 50 GPa. A tetragonal structure was compatible with the measurements at all pressures, and no phase change was observed. The bulk modulus, B0 = 62.5 GPa, obtained has a somewhat smaller value than the one estimated earlier.
