Wat een onzin.
Hartelijk dank voor het bijgevoegde artikel 'Ticks of Poland. Review of contemporary issues and latest research' van 2012.
Een paar citaten uit het artikel.
In the Polish fauna there are 19 species of ticks (Ixodida) recognized as existing permanently in our country: Argas reflexus, Argas polonicus, Carios vespertilionis, Ixodes trianguliceps, Ixodes arboricola, Ixodes crenulatus, Ixodes hexagonus, Ixodes lividus, Ixodes rugicollis, Ixodes caledonicus, Ixodes frontalis, Ixodes simplex, Ixodes vespertilionis, Ixodes apronophorus, Ixodes persulcatus, Ixodes ricinus, Haemaphysalis punctata, Haemaphysalis concinna, Dermacentor reticulatus. Occasionally, alien species of ticks transferred to the territory of Poland are recorded: Amblyomma sphenodonti, Amblyomma exornatum, Amblyomma flavomaculatum, Amblyomma latum, Amblyomma nuttalli, Amblyomma quadricavum, Amblyomma transversale, Amblyomma varanensis, Amblyomma spp., Dermacentor marginatus, Hyalomma aegyptium, Hyalomma marginatum, Ixodes eldaricus, Ixodes festai, Rhipicephalus rossicus, Rhipicephalus sanguineus. The most common species of the highest medical and veterinary importance in Poland is invariably Ixodes ricinus
Er zijn 19 soorten teken in Polen? In Nederland zijn ook meerdere soorten teken harde en zachte teken. Het gaat natuurlijk om de ziekmakende teken en dat is met overgrote meerderheid de Ixodes Ricinus.
Verderop in het het artikel:
The most common species of the highest medical and veterinary importance in Poland and almost all over Europe is still Ixodes ricinus (Linnaeus, 1756).

http://oud.parasitologie.nl/index.php?id=1959It has not been found that any tick species inhabiting the Polish and world fauna is a specific human parasite. On the Polish territory people can be attacked by ticks of the family Argasidae: A. reflexus and A. polonicus.
From the family Ixodidae, to which most ticks occurring in Poland belong, humans are mainly attacked by I. ricinus, a non-host-specific species. Therefore, it is the most important tick in the epidemiology of transmissible diseases in our country (Table 1). In Poland there is a risk of attacking humans by a taiga tick I. persulcatus which, like I. ricinus, is of utmost importance in the epidemiology of transmissible diseases (Table 1). The tick species with high epidemiological significance which can also feed on man in Poland is I. hexagonus (Table 1). It can inhabit dog kennels and even human quarters where there are permanent beddings for dogs and cats. Incidents of infesting people in Poland by D. reticu- latus from the family Amblyommidae have also been recorded.
Outside Polish borders isolated cases of people attacked by ticks C. vespertilionis, I. crenulatus, H. concinna and H. punctata have been reported.
According to the National Institute of Hygiene, tick-borne diseases in Poland constitute an increasingly growing problem, and each year the incidence of infection in humans, especially with borreliosis, is consistently high. For instance, 8 225 persons contracted borreliosis in 2008, 10 333 people in 2009, 9 011 persons in 2010 and 6 775 individuals in 2011 (until November 15th). 351 humans were infected with tick-borne encephalitis virus in 2009, 292 persons in 2010 and 172 people in 2011 (up to November 15th).
Een groot verschil met de cijfers uit Nederland terwijl ons land kleiner is. Het grootste verschil is dat TBE veel vaker voorkomt in Polen.
Travelling to North America humans can come in contact with two species of ticks from the group of I. ricinus, i.e. Ixodes scapularis Say, 1821 and Ixodes pacyficus Cooley et Kohls, 1943, considered as some of the most important vectors of tick-borne diseases in North America.
Ixodes scapularis (hertenteek), Ixodes pacyficus (hertenteek). De Ixodus ricinus, de schapenteek, is de vector voor de Borrelia bacterie in de ziekte van Lyme in Europa. In Amerika is dat de Ixodus scapularis, de hertenteek.

Distribution of Ixodes ticks that transmit Borrelia burgdorferi s.l. to humans
Borrelia burgdorferi s.l. are transmitted by ticks of the Ixodes ricinus complex. In Europe, the principal tick vector is I. ricinus (red), which transmits all three major pathogenic genospecies of B. burgdorferi s.l. The tick Ixodes persulcatus (yellow), is found in western Russia, the Baltic countries, parts of Finland, central regions of eastern Russia, northern Mongolia, China and Japan. I. persulcatus transmits Borrelia afzelii and Borrelia garinii, but is not known to transmit B. burgdorferi219,220.
In eastern Europe, I. ricinus and I. persulcatus overlap (orange). In North America, the main tick vectors are Ixodes scapularis in the eastern and mid-western United States (blue) and some areas in middle southern and southeastern Canada12,221,222 and Ixodes pacificus in the western United States (green)9,12; both of these ticks transmit B. burgdorferi. Within these broad areas, tick abundance and infection prevalence vary widely and are influenced by microclimate, vegetation and the abundance of reservoir vertebrate hosts. The regions of most intense transmission of B. burgdorferi s.l. are in the northeastern United States and in central Europe3, where the prevalence of B. burgdorferi s.l. infection among ticks can be as high as 40–50%. By contrast, infection prevalence in the southern United States is <1%. The life cycle of ticks is illustrated in the inset. Larvae, nymph and adult are the main life stages (illustrated as would be seen with magnification), but each stage of each of these species is nearly identical in appearance. The tiny nymphal stage, which feeds in the late spring and early summer, is primarily responsible for transmission of the disease.
Het is opmerkelijk dat het huidige bestuur van de Lymevereniging onvoldoende bekend is met de ziekte van Lyme in Europa en niet op de hoogte lijkt te zijn welke instanties er betrokken zijn bij teken en ziekte van Lyme in Europa.
Over de ontwikkelingen in het Europese Parlement over Lyme in Europa en de aangenomen resolutie is niets gemeld. De resolutie en de amendementen voor de ziekte van Lyme Europe, die op 10 september 2018 unaniem zijn gestemd en aangenomen in de ENVI-commissie.

De berichtgeving via social media en ingenomen standpunten en informatieverstrekking aan Lyme patiënten en de leden van de Lymverengiging richten zich voornamelijk op Amerika en Ilads. De Lyme patiënten in Nederland wordt daarmee onterecht hoop geven en mensen worden onvoldoende geïnformeerd.
