Studies were carried out in the Connemara area of County Galway in the west of Ireland in order to determine the abundance and distribution of the tick, Ixodes ricinus and the prevalence of its infection with Borrelia burgdorferi. The tick was very abundant locally, in particular when associated with cattle, sheep and enclosed red deer. Large numbers of ticks not only occurred on the pastures, but also on adjacent roadside verges. No infections with B. burgdorferi could be demonstrated when nymphal ticks were sampled from central areas of the pastures, suggesting that livestock and red deer are probably not significant reservoirs of the spirochaete. Small numbers of infected nymphal and adult ticks were associated with hedges, dry stone walls, the margins of woodland adjoining infested pastures and in woodland from which livestock were excluded. Woodmice (Apodemus sylvaticus) were most numerous in such habitats and the majority were infected with B. burgdorferi.
