Scholarship Description: In the large collaborative FP7 challenge EDENext (WP Tick-borne illnesses), the student will perform a sub-challenge on the identification and molecular characterisation of the genetic variability of a sequence of pathogens identified in questing, engorged ticks and reservoir hosts. Questing, feeding ticks and biological samples collected from a assortment of reservoirs hosts collected across Trentino and other EDENext sampling web sites, will be sampled and analysed employing several kinds of proper molecular markers. The intention of the study is to understand the ecological relationships of tick borne pathogens in diverse habitats of normal foci to achieve insight into the tick pathogen group construction and variability in relation to host neighborhood composition and tick genetic variability supplying estimates for parameters crucial for the growth of predictive designs of tick-borne illness threat. The student will have the possibility to propose innovative instruments and invest at least six months in an external laboratory.
