Tick seasonality in study of bacterial agents detected in 418 ticks removed from humans during 2014–2021, France. Overall prevalence of Dermacentor, Ixodes, Rhipicephalus, and other tick species in metropolitan France (n = 387), which includes Corsica, during January–December is indicated. The ticks were among those sent to the Institut Hospitalo-Universitaire Méditerranée Infection in Marseille, France, and identified by using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry or sequencing PCR products.
